    Shufti picks up two business awards

    Two Business Awards

    October has been an amazing month for Shufti. In September it was nominated for outstanding product/service in 2020 by the Global business excellence awards. Last week, it was announced as the winner of the category.

    Shufti is emerging as an effective player in the identity verification market. It was nominated by Global business excellence due to its innovation, customer service, employees, and community benefits. The selection criteria were tough for all enterprises, but Shufti is proud to be the winner of the outstanding product/service category. The judges acknowledged Shufti’s efforts and said:

    “Shufti is helping to eliminate fraud across multiple industries globally with its superfast versatile identity verification (IDV) solution. After being underwhelmed by the slow speed of the existing IDV process, the company launched in London in 2017 with its own high-tech proposition to revolutionise the IDV process. Using machine learning and artificial intelligence, the founders now provide verification results within an amazing 30 to 60 seconds. Congratulations to Shufti for shaking up the IDV process and helping its clients improve their customer service.”

    This is not all. Shufti was also nominated for the best customer service in Biz Award 2020. Shufti won the silver for the best consumer service of the year in the product category. The award is based on Shufti’s top-notch customer service and the efficacy to cater to the needs of the clients. The winners were announced last week at the 8th annual international competition for different categories including company, department, product and CSR/media categories.
