In 2011, Frank S. Jorga had a visionary idea: online transactions needed to be fundamentally reimagined. He envisioned a world where people would no longer need to physically verify their identity for crucial online transactions, such as opening a bank account. Instead, this process should be conveniently and legally conducted via a video call.

After extensive research and numerous in-depth discussions, this visionary idea led to the creation of WebID Solutions GmbH. Frank S. Jorga co-founded the company in 2012 alongside two other partners. With his brother, Sven Jorga – who remains WebIDs CTO – technological expertise was firmly established in-house.

At the beginning of 2014, WebID received official approval for its efficient alternative to the post-ident process. This WebID innovation set new industry standards and prompted the release of key BaFin circulars. Shortly thereafter, on April 8, 2014, the first bank introduced WebIDs video identification process. Many leading financial service providers followed, leading to numerous trusted partnerships that continue to thrive today.

With the opening of the high-security Video Ident Center in Solingen and another location in Hamburg, WebID began its international expansion in 2015. In addition to establishing branches in Austria and Switzerland within the DACH region, WebID took a bold step into the Indian market to explore new opportunities.

Since 2016, WebID customers have been able to sign legally binding contracts online, such as loan agreements or insurance policies, thanks to its Qualified Electronic Signature solution. Additionally, WebID opened a location in Kiel, offering customized development and IT services. These services primarily benefit companies in the banking sector, allowing them to leverage WebIDs tailored solutions and consulting expertise.

In 2017, WebID introduced a fully automated identification process based on technology that was initially developed in 2012/13 and partially patented. This advancement enhanced both the security and user experience of video identification procedures, significantly improving process efficiency.

With the opening of its first two offices in the United States – San Mateo and New York – WebID successfully entered the American market. The company’s expertise and fully automated identification products, renowned for their high-security standards, quickly attracted the attention of Fortune 500 companies.

WebID revolutionized the identification market once again with AutoID, its AI-powered biometric facial recognition technology. This cutting-edge solution enables AI-driven ID document verification around the clock and worldwide.

The Commission for Youth Media Protection (KJM) highly rated AvsID, WebIDs online age verification process, as one of the best available. Additionally, WebID introduced AccountID, an innovative solution that simplifies online identification through reference transactions via online banking – making the process faster and more convenient.

With the appointment of Daniel Kreis as Co-CEO and the investment from UK-based firm AnaCap, WebID strengthened its commitment to ambitious growth and internationalization strategies. At the same time, the company expanded its product portfolio and consulting services to meet the demands of relevant international target markets.

Ten years after its founding, WebID hosted the first ID X Summit, bringing together industry experts and professionals for in depth discussions on digital identity.

The event has since become a regular forum for exchanging ideas, sharing expertise, and exploring the future of digital identity.

With TrueID, WebID launched an identification solution that allows users to reuse their Digital Identity after completing an initial identification. By mid-2026, 25 million people had already given WebID permission to retain their data on high security servers in Germany for use in future identification processes.

Since 2023, the city of Wiesbaden has also offered citizens digital government services, including marriage registration and address changes. These services use eID, WebID’s fully automated identification solution that complies with German AML requirements and enables encrypted extraction of data from identity documents.

WebID continued its international expansion and, leveraging its proven consulting expertise, won its first Fortune 500 customer in the US. Alongside this important milestone, WebID also expanded its B2C business with additional solutions for consumers.

With CorporateID, WebID introduced a solution that enables obligated businesses to conduct Know Your Business processes efficiently and in compliance with German AML requirements. The solution uses Bundesanzeiger Verlag as its primary source, supporting the four eyes principle required by Bafin.

With the EU Anti Money Laundering Regulation (EU AMLR) set to apply from July 10, 2027, WebID is bringing its identification solutions together within the (European) Identity Hub. The platform enables obligated businesses to manage identification, verification, and documentation in a single process aligned with the new European requirements.

The portfolio includes ePassID, the EUDI Wallet Connector, and the eID Gateway.
