A workplace trust company has secured new funding to scale its platform for background screening, credential verification, and integrity tools across international markets.
London-based Veremark has raised $26 million in Series B funding, led by Gresham House Ventures, with participation from existing investors Samaipata, ACF Investors, and Stage 2 Capital, alongside a multi-million dollar debt facility from Salica Partners.
Founded in 2020, Veremark is a global workplace trust company that provides background screening, whistleblowing, and credential verification services through a single platform.
Veremark supports organisations by conducting background checks for new hires and rescreening existing employees, helping employers manage compliance, risk, and workplace standards across multiple jurisdictions. As workforces become more global and dynamic, with shorter employment tenures and increased use of AI-generated or misleading candidate information, verification and identity checks have become more complex for hiring teams.
In addition to pre-employment screening, Veremark has expanded its offering to support workplace integrity throughout the employment lifecycle. This includes an anonymous whistleblowing and speak-up platform, reporting tools, and a digital career passport, Verepass, which allows individuals to store, manage, and share verified credentials. Built on blockchain technology, Verepass is designed to reduce the need for repeated checks and streamline verification processes for employers.
Daniel Callaghan, CEO and co-founder of Veremark, noted that organisations are increasingly adopting continuous approaches to managing employee conduct risk. He added:
Veremark provides companies with enhanced confidence in who they are bringing into the business and enables multiple checkpoints to ensure their behaviours remain ethical and appropriate. We help companies reduce hiring risk, improve auditability and help protect workplace integrity beyond the point of hire.
Our goal is to make trust something employers can evidence and manage in practice, combining secure global screening with tools that help protect people, surface concerns earlier and strengthen workplace standards.
The investment follows a period of continued growth for Veremark, during which the company expanded its capabilities through the acquisition of Agenda Screening Services, a background screening provider offering a broad range of checks, including criminal, employment, sanctions, credit, and bankruptcy screening across more than 180 countries.
The new funding will be used to support further product development, investment in AI capabilities, and continued expansion of the company’s global operations.
