Our story
Being super motivated by all the great things we achieved, the good work continued in 2021. First, we were listed as one of the fastest-growing companies for the second year in a row by Financial Times. A couple of months later, we got our ISO27001 certificate for our approach and practice regarding information security. Finally, BlinkID was honored for its UX in Fast Company’s Innovation by Design Awards. After all that, we released two new solutions: Document and Identity Verification. Pretty good for a single year?
2021
In 2020 we worked hard on our products to refine their accuracy and coverage, making them available on new platforms. Our determination and focus resulted in BlinkID working in all major web browsers and BlinkCard v2.0 — newly powered by our machine learning models. We also introduced a lot of new features, including Document Capture in BlinkInput. Financial Times and Deloitte recognized our efforts and ranked us among the top fastest-growing companies in Europe and the EMEA region.
2020
2019 was quite an eventful year. We upgraded the AI system to the extent that it enabled intelligent data extraction, which led to the BlinkID v5 launch. A successful demo where we presented new, advanced features for BlinkID was held at Finovate Europe. Also, we brought into being a new product: BlinkCard - a solution for fast and simple scanning of credit and bank cards.
2019
More acknowledgments came in: GLOMO awards nomination, Best of Show at Finovate Europe, and 14th place in the Deloitte Technology Fast 50 Central Europe. We launched a new platform: the Web API, and added support for many new types of documents. AI learning was advanced to ensure the highest level of accuracy, speed & security throughout the process. All that in one year!
2018
Our technology has taken a new course and switched from old school computer vision to supervised deep learning. We launched BlinkReceipt, a new product for capturing data from retail receipts. With BlinkReceipt we won the Best of Show at Finovate Spring in San Jose.
2017
Microblink grew from a team of 6 to 22 people. As we are continuously improving mobile OCR technology, we introduced new features and a new product BlinkInput.
2016
Photomath won the 4YFN competition at Mobile World Congress in the Digital Media category. The app grew from thousands to millions of monthly users in only a few months, therefore it was established as a separate company. Microblink introduced BlinkID, a new product for scanning ID cards.
2015
Proprietary mobile OCR proved efficient for other use-cases like scanning identity documents. Hence, PhotoPay was renamed into Microblink. To showcase our technology we created Photomath - a mobile app that reads and solves mathematical problems in real time by using a mobile device camera.
2014
The pilot project was successful and PhotoPay Ltd was founded. Soon, PhotoPay was the main feature of several major mobile banking apps in Europe.
2013
In order to eliminate typing in mobile apps when paying utility bills a pilot project was created.
2012
Microblink is developed with grants and help from Poduzetnički impuls / BICRO & HAMAG Invest for which we are grateful.
