FAQ

What is user verification, and how does it affect gig economy platforms?

User verification is the process of authenticating the identities of individuals participating on a platform to ensure they are who they claim to be.

What are the benefits of verifying buyers, sellers, and gig workers quickly?

Fast, friction-free user verification provides several key benefits for gig economy platforms.
