About PXL Vision
PXL Vision is a Swiss provider of AI-based digital identity verification. The company serves gaming and gambling operators alongside fintech, telecommunications, retail, insurance and healthcare clients. Michael Born leads the business as founder and Chief Executive Officer.
Former Dacuda AG staff incorporated PXL Vision in March 2017, following Dacuda’s acquisition by Magic Leap. Three products form the core range. PXL Ident delivers SaaS-based online identification. PXL Pro brings the same verification technology on-premises for operators with stricter infrastructure requirements. PXL GwG Ident handles AML-compliant customer onboarding, supporting document checks, facial verification and NFC-enabled document scanning.
For gambling operators, verification sits at the point of first deposit. Registration, identity checks and payment run as one combined flow rather than separate steps. Users complete the process through a secure link or QR code, without a separate app download. Documented gambling clients include Spielbanken Sachsen, Sachsenlotto and Novo Interactive.

Integration & Operator Fit
PXL Vision holds ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification, audited by TÜV Rheinland. An ISAE 3402 Type 2 attestation from KPMG covers its operational controls. KPMG has separately certified PXL Ident’s qualified electronic signature process against ETSI TS 119 461, supporting both the Swiss ZertES framework and the EU’s eIDAS regulation. Sensitive data remains within certified data centres in Switzerland, or Germany by arrangement. The company states it does not work with cloud providers based outside the European Economic Area.
Compliance teams evaluating PXL Vision should weigh its identity, age, address and payment verification features against specific licence requirements. According to the company’s website, PXL Ident supports official documents from more than 165 countries. Local document coverage and regulatory fit still warrant independent verification before integration. For operators prioritising EU-based data residency and formal certification, PXL Vision’s Swiss and German infrastructure may carry particular weight.
