There is a lot of talk throughout the dating industry about identity verification and background checks. We’ve heard a lot about how important safety is to online daters, as well as the minutia concerning data retrieval issues and the adjudication process.

As a service to you our loyal readers, ODI is throwing down the gauntlet and inviting several ID verification companies to demo their services in our testing lab.

An independent investigator will go through the ID verification and background check process for each vendor. The goal of the shootout is an unbiased review of ID verification vendors. The idea is to review the process, reliability, effectiveness and overall user experience of the verification process. We’ll also take a close look at the data sources used by each service. Because the benchmarks for measuring and comparison differ from vendor to vendor, we will attempt to create a review format that works for all involved.

Several companies have already agreed to participate. If you would like to have your company considered for the review, contact me to learn more.
