” As safety is never done, over the last 3 years, we have been working very hard to continue improving the level of detail and robustness of our verification process in validating the identity of all individuals who wish to drive on Bolt.
” This unique portal was developed in partnership with our supply operations team ensuring that it effectively meets our needs but is also not excessively intrusive for our driver-partners. The system will be driven by YouVerify’s proprietary identity verification technology which provides the tools to validate various documentation & data and provide key requirements for an ideal verification solution that boosts both service quality and customer safety.”
The verification portal will help completely to end fraud and impersonation attempts.
