Company profile
researched Aug 2026Palm (operating as Palm Finance) provides a business identity platform that links customer-facing platforms to authoritative business data sources through a unified API. The company describes its product as an "identity fabric" that gives each business a portable, verified identity — represented by a Palm ID — so that information verified once can be reused by other platforms rather than each platform verifying businesses in isolation.
The product is organized around four functions: onboarding (pre-filling key business data and connecting to core systems such as point of sale, banking and accounting through verified Palm IDs), verification (checking collected information against database and document records for businesses, individuals and TINs), monitoring (continuous compliance and real-time reporting on customer entities), and compliance (filings, document submission and management, registered agent services and entity formations, delivered through APIs and MCP-ready tooling). Data sources referenced include Secretaries of State, the IRS, FinCEN, city and government entities, and records covering permits, licenses, tax, lawsuits and insurance. Developer-facing documentation covers registry search and detail endpoints, verification endpoints, a compliance kit and formations.
Business model
Palm sells API-based access to its business identity, verification and compliance tooling to platforms, alongside a member-facing product for businesses themselves. Access is self-serve via API keys with a sales channel for larger partners.
Usage-based: the company states its service is free to start with pay-as-you-scale pricing.
Traction
The company reports a network of 125 million businesses, more than $300 million saved on fraud and compliance, and more than 3 billion attributes updated every six days. It also references an Amex Ventures investment.
Latest developments
Palm's site references an Amex Ventures investment and lists open roles, indicating active hiring and continued product expansion across onboarding, verification, monitoring and compliance modules.
▸Full profile — market position, technology, go-to-market, geography
Market position
Positions itself as a business identity network and shared verification layer serving platforms across government, vertical SaaS, financial services and insurance.
Palm positions against fragmented, per-platform verification by making verified business identities portable and reusable across platforms ("verified once, trusted everywhere"), and by continuously refreshing entity attributes from authoritative sources rather than relying on one-time checks.
Technology
A unified API layer aggregating records from authoritative sources — Secretaries of State, IRS, FinCEN, city and other government registries — plus permits, licenses, tax, lawsuit and insurance data, mapped to persistent Palm ID identifiers per entity. Tooling is described as MCP-ready and includes registry search, entity detail, business/person/TIN verification, compliance and formations endpoints.
Go-to-market
Self-serve developer onboarding (immediate API key issuance and public documentation) combined with a direct enterprise sales motion ("Talk to sales") and a partner track distinct from its business-user track.
Platforms that need to establish trust in business entities, including government agencies handling licensing, permits and compliance; vertical SaaS platforms onboarding business customers at scale; financial institutions such as banks, lenders and fintechs extending credit; and insurance carriers and MGAs performing underwriting and claims.
Geography
Headquartered at 2 Embarcadero Center, San Francisco, California, with data coverage described as spanning every jurisdiction, including U.S. federal (IRS, FinCEN), state (Secretary of State) and city-level sources.
