Verifying your identity in the gig economy - TechNative 22/08/2022

We’ve got a great article for you from Sanjay Gupta at Mitek - “Verifying your identity in the gig economy”!

Mastercard estimates that global gig economy transactions (including everything from ride-sharing to freelance work) will reach $455 billion by 2023.

That’s larger than the GDP of many countries! 😲🌎

In such a rapidly growing and disruptive industry, identity verification has never been more important.

Sanjay explores some top considerations for gig economy businesses to ensure appropriate identity verification.

Our Story

We are the most comprehensive source of education, networking and information sharing for startups in the marketplace, sharing, gig, on-demand, peer-to-peer and collaborative economy. If you’re in this space, or thinking about diving in, the Marketplace Risk platform is your opportunity to get insider information and stay up to date on all things Marketplace Risk.

So how did it all start? We began as a working group of startup investors, founders, executives and attorneys who got together to learn from one another how to better identify, predict and mitigate the risks associated with our startups.

This working group grew over time and, in 2015, evolved into the first and only conference focused on risk management for the the marketplace, sharing, gig, on-demand, peer-to-peer and collaborative economy - the Marketplace Risk Management Conference.

Since the first conference, Marketplace Risk has become the most comprehensive resource for the marketplace, sharing, gig, on-demand, peer-to-peer and collaborative economy. We offer:
