Frequently asked questions

Is Pegalio a replacement for Persona?

Not exactly. Persona specializes in native identity verification; Pegalio orchestrates the whole onboarding workflow and can integrate verification vendors. Many teams use an IDV provider for checks and Pegalio for the surrounding process.

Can Pegalio be self-hosted?

Yes. Pegalio ships a Docker image with full feature parity for AWS, GCP, or on-prem — useful when data cannot leave your environment.

Does Pegalio support EU data residency?

Yes, EU hosting is available, and self-hosting keeps all data in your own infrastructure.
