What made the difference to PRNEWS.IO when choosing Veriff?

Veriff’s self-serve solution provided an easy-to-use option for PRNEWS.IO and the clarity of pricing options allowed them to experiment to find the level of service that worked for their business needs.

As Storozhuk explained: “Veriff’s comprehensive suite of IDV solutions met all the specific needs we have in our project scope and the positive testimonials and case studies from other satisfied customers influenced the decision.

“But we were really impressed by Veriff’s ability to verify documents from diverse countries, regardless of language barriers or local regulations. That was a crucial factor for us.”


With a focus on fraud prevention, revenue protection, compliance and creating a seamless onboarding experience for customers, PRNEWS.IO had an extensive checklist of requirements but found all were catered for by Veriff’s self-serve solution.

PRNEWS.IO implemented Veriff’s self-service identity verification solution and included PEP and Sanctions checks. “The implementation process was smooth and efficient,” recalls Storozhuk. “ Veriff’s team provided clear guidelines and support throughout the integration phase, ensuring that the system was tailored to meet our specific KYC requirements.

Veriff integrated with PRNEWS.IO’s existing systems through its API, which allowed for automatic verification of clients during the onboarding process and meant the business could continue operations without any downtime.

“The implementation process was completed within one week, including testing and adjustments to ensure optimal performance,” Storozhuk said.
