Mobai is a Norway-based provider of facial recognition and biometric face verification delivered as a SaaS platform. Its core product offers liveness detection and deepfake detection and targets companies in highly regulated environments such as financial services. The company highlights security features that enable biometric verification in the encrypted domain, aiming to allow reusable biometrics at scale. Mobai is actively pursuing R&D to augment its product line, and its systems are tested at recognized institutions including NIST (Face Recognition Vendor Test) and the Swiss Center for Biometrics. The firm was founded in 2019 by CEO Brage Strand, CTO Martin Stokkenes, and NTNU biometrics professors Raghavendra Ramachandra, Kiran Raja and Christoph Busch. In late 2021 Mobai announced €2.8 million in funding for a project to strengthen face biometrics systems for Norway's banking industry. Recently it closed an oversubscribed seed financing of 30 million Norwegian kroner (roughly US$2.8M).
