# Palm > Palm is the business identity network built on accuracy. Palm connects platforms to verified, portable business identities — sourced directly from all 50 US Secretary of State registries and the IRS — so businesses are verified once and trusted everywhere. Platforms onboard, verify, monitor, and keep business customers compliant through a single API. Palm is business identity infrastructure for platforms that need to trust businesses: government agencies, vertical SaaS, financial institutions, and insurance carriers. Where most verification tools answer "acceptance" (can I trust this business at onboarding?), Palm is built on "accuracy" (is this business who it claims to be, and is it still in good standing?) by tracing identities back to the authoritative government sources that create them, and keeping them current through ongoing compliance activity. Key facts: - Network of 125M+ US businesses, sourced from all 50 Secretary of State registries and the IRS - 3B+ attributes updated every ~6 days; data written back to registries via compliance filings - $300M+ saved for partners on fraud and compliance - Four capabilities delivered through one API and MCP-ready tooling: Onboard, Verify, Monitor, Comply - SOC 2 compliant.
