Freelancer.com is not only an online marketplace that provides freelancing and crowdsourcing services, but it also supports financial transactions that can help you reach different markets and expand your business all over the world.
As with any other online services, especially financial ones, customers need to feel secure and protected from any kind of financial crime and fraud.
This is the primary reason why Freelancer.com offers the Know Your Customer Program (KYC), which is an identity verification process that ensures a safer online workplace for all users, employers and clients alike. It also helps increase your Trust Score on our site.
This means that Clients and Freelancers who are the safest to work with are those who voluntarily verify themselves and become part of our highly trusted user base.
In an effort to help all our users to voluntarily become verified, we’ll show you how to take advantage of the KYC program, the benefits of going through the process and ways to identify other users who already become verified.
Once you are KYC verified, you will:
1. Be considered as a user with high credibility, legal validity and authenticity.
2. Help to build a riskless business relationship with your clients and freelancers.
3. Have an increased chance of project acceptance from freelancers.
