We originally were incorporated in the state of New York in 1994 as Intelli-Check, Inc. In August 1999, we reincorporated in Delaware. On March 14, 2008, our corporation was renamed Intelli-Check - Mobilisa, Inc. after the consummation of the merger with Mobilisa, Inc. ("Mobilisa") (references to "Intelli-Check" in this annual report refer to the Company prior to the merger with Mobilisa). At the closing of the merger, our headquarters were moved to Mobilisa’s offices in Port Townsend, Washington. On October 27, 2009, we made a further change in our name to Intellicheck Mobilisa, Inc. On May 4, 2017, with the approval of our shareholders, we changed our name to Intellicheck, Inc. ("Intellicheck," "we," "our," "us," or "the Company"). On August 31, 2009, the Company acquired 100% of the common stock of Positive Access Corporation ("Positive Access"), a developer of driver's license reading technology. The acquisition of Positive Access expanded the Company’s technology portfolio and related product offerings and allowed the Company to reach a larger number of customers through Positive Access’s extensive distribution network. On December 31, 2018, we formally merged the Mobilisa and Positive Access subsidiaries into one corporation under the name Intellicheck, Inc.
We are a prominent technology company that delivers on-demand digital identity validation solutions for Know Your Customer ("KYC") fraud, and age verification needs. We validate both digital and physical identities for financial services, fintech companies, BNPL providers, e-commerce, retail commerce businesses, law enforcement and government agencies across North America. Our software solutions can be used through a mobile device, a browser, or a retail point-of-sale scanner.
We plan to expand our business in the near term by continuing to pursue a strategy designed to increase market share in our existing markets and expand into new product markets that are expected to benefit from fraud prevention and identity validation. For example, we have extended our technologies into online applications to provide identity validation and fraud prevention for the billions of transactions that occur online each day. We also have incorporated biometric, facial recognition and other enhancements to several of our current product offerings in order to stay on the leading edge of technology.
We plan to leverage our intellectual property in the markets we are targeting to strengthen our competitive position.
