Mitek Systems, Inc is a software company that specializes in digital identity verification and mobile image processing using artificial intelligence. The company's software is used for depositing checks and opening bank accounts via mobile devices.[1][2] It also verifies identity documents such as passports, ID cards, and driver's licenses by analyzing a selfie of an individual holding their ID, comparing their face to the photo on the document.[3]

History

The company was founded in 1986 and is headquartered in San Diego, California.[4]

In 2011, it was announced that Mitek intended to expand into mobile imaging software for the health care and insurance industries, in addition to mobile banking.[5]

In 2014, USAA and Mitek Systems, Inc. settled a 2+12-year-old dispute over the invention of the technology used for mobile check deposits, with both companies' patents remaining intact and neither side paying the other.[6]

On May 26, 2015, the company acquired IDchecker, a provider of cloud-based identity document verification and facial recognition products.[7]

On October 16, 2017, the company acquired Icar Vision Systems, a Spanish company specializing in customer identity verification.[8]
