Leaders in ID verification are enabling the charity's faster
distribution of support among Ukrainian citizens in need
LONDON, Sept. 29,
2022 /PRNewswire/ -- UK-based Shufti Pro, a
leader in identity verification solutions, today announced its
partnership with a global charitable foundation, Team4UA, to
provide time-efficient, leading-edge solutions to authenticate the
identities of the volunteers they are taking on in
Ukraine.
Since the outbreak of the war in Ukraine, an estimated 10 million people have
been forced to flee their homes, resulting in an increase in
violence and trafficking across the country. With the goals of
providing care and humanitarian aid to citizens in need, Team4UA
was greatly concerned about ensuring the safety of the people they
help. Running ID and background checks on volunteers applying to
work with the charity was key to reducing the possibility of
malicious interference. Through their partnership with Shufti Pro,
Team4UA was able to streamline their hiring process, which in turn
is helping to accelerate the charity's distribution of support in
Ukraine.
Shufti Pro is the fastest service of its kind on the market. It
is designed to provide seamless end-to-end verification in a
reactive manner and is defined by its speed and ease of
integration. Equally importantly, the Shufti Pro platform was
available for use in Ukraine, a
region where many competitors were not operating.
Jean-Cristophe Bonis, Founder and
Chairman of the Board at Team4UA explained: "Given that
we're working with already endangered people, it is vital to
know exactly who is volunteering with us, particularly as we need
to have a large operating team on the ground. We needed a secure
system that was both highly accurate and time-saving."
Bonis continued "Shufti Pro eliminated the need for our staff
to implement extensive, manual ID verification processes and
instead gave us the opportunity to focus on our two main goals in
Ukraine – to deliver humanitarian
aid support to as many people as we can, and to expand the charity
capacity so we can help even more people."
Since launching the charity foundation at the beginning of the
war, Team4UA has provided support for 400,000 Ukrainian citizens.
Now that the charity has the capability to verify potential
volunteers quickly and effectively, Bonis expects that this will
hit 500,000 in the next 2 months.
Victor Fredung, CEO of Shufti Pro, believes that this is the
perfect example of how a security system can have a transformative
effect in sectors where time is of the essence. He said: "Shufti
Pro's inclusive approach gives organisations the ability to verify
the IDs of anyone across the globe in a time-saving manner, leaving
them with the confidence and time to focus on their core work. In
this instance, Shufti Pro is supporting Team4UA by putting time
back in their hands which they can use to make a difference in
peoples' lives."
