    “The relationship with Shufti was born out of frustration of an existing provider, so we started our discussion with Shufti, the response time was excellent, from the start of speaking to sales to getting up and running with the demo.We did some testing, and reviewed the scripts from different providers, so we went through that exercise, start to finish within a month we were satisfied with our decision and decided to move forward with Shufti”

    “As a relatively new brand, we need to ensure that initial brand interactions with our customers are slick and smooth. To achieve this, we need technology that is highly customizable to our needs and able to accurately verify individuals from across the globe. Not only does Shufti deliver this, it does it quickly and easily – something our customers truly appreciate. We estimate that £150m of painting investments will be verified by Shufti this year.”

    “Given that we’re working with such vulnerable people, knowing exactly who is volunteering with us is vital, particularly as we need to have a large team on the ground. We needed a secure system that was not only highly accurate, but also time-saving. Shufti eliminated the need for our staff to implement extensive, manual ID verification processes and instead enabled us to focus on our two main projects in Ukraine – to deliver support to as many people as we can, and to grow the capacity of the charity so we can help even more people.”

    “When potential customers informed us that our lengthy verification processes were hindering their due diligence verification, we knew we needed to make changes. Shufti had a reputation as a leading authentication expert that would be able to streamline our processes, while enhancing our risk detection. Through partnering with the team at Shufti we’ve been able to grow our customer numbers by 20%. At the same time, we’re able to streamline their experience and stop under-aged users and potentially fraudulent users from accessing our services. It’s a win win.”
