ConnectID, the Australian Payments Plus (AP+) owned digital identity ecosystem, has announced it’s welcoming ServiceSeeking to the network; a leading online marketplace for Small to Medium Enterprises. The integration offers a fast, secure, and user-friendly identity verification process, significantly improving the experience for service providers.
Through ConnectID, service providers can seamlessly verify their identity using an existing trusted source, such as their bank, reducing the need for manual data entry and fraud risks associated with sharing sensitive information directly.
Oliver Pennington, Co-Founder and Director from ServiceSeeking shared, “We were looking for a better way to confirm the identities of our business members – a solution that was reliable and efficient. Often ID verification solutions can be a bit clunky, relying on manual data input of driver’s licence, passport details or Medicare information.
“We felt that ConnectID would offer a faster and easier option for our members, while equally providing heightened security. Trust is especially important in our industry, particularly when conducting online transactions or entering someone’s private space. Digital ID solutions like ConnectID help us understand who we can trust and who we should, or should not, engage in business. It makes sure our network is safe,” Pennington continued.
ConnectID’s integration with ServiceSeeking marks a significant step forward in digital identity solutions, setting a new standard for security and reliability in online interactions for business owners using marketplaces. Through ConnectID, service providers can have their identities verified with ServiceSeeking in a secure and privacy-preserving way; and customers will have greater confidence in their chosen trade.
Rick Iversen, Head of Product & Scheme for ConnectID at AP+, emphasised the significance of digital identity to create safer online environments. “We welcome ServiceSeeking into the ConnectID network. By joining ConnectID, organisations can increase the trust in their online platform while reducing the need for sharing of ID documents.”
The addition of ServiceSeeking to ConnectID’s ecosystem is yet another example of how digital identity can reduce the need for businesses to manually collect, store or validate sensitive documents while benefitting from a secure and convenient verification processes.
