Affyn is forging a sustainable economy, converging the virtual and real worlds through a global co-creator community.
Managing strict due diligence requirements while providing a positive customer experience is a delicate balance. Affyn believes that automated verification solutions are specifically designed to address this challenge.
The Challenge
It’s common for startups in various industries to rely on manual verification processes initially. This comes with notable challenges, particularly the slow turnaround time for the verification process, resulting in extended delays and impacting the user experience.
