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. For gig economy marketplaces, implementing robust user verification is a key requirement to establish trust and safety between buyers, sellers, and service providers on the platform.

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. A streamlined customer onboarding process means that new users can quickly start transacting on the platform — providing a better user experience for them, and less drop-off/higher conversion rates for the platform.

Why are trust and safety programs instrumental for marketplaces and gig platforms?

Scammers and bad actors are increasingly targeting gig economy platforms. This makes implementing hyper-accurate, instant user verification critical to establishing and maintaining user confidence and trust, while also protecting the platform’s brand reputation.
