Credas has implemented its remote identity verification software in 70 offices on behalf of UK estate agent Connells.

Connells’ 600 offices are closed during the Covid-19 pandemic. To enable business to continue running, the agency has requested a swift uptake in remote solutions from identity verification specialist Credas.

CEO of Credas, Rhys David, said, “Our ID verification tech means that Connells can carry out due diligence requirements, such as Anti-Money Laundering checks, anywhere at any time. Agents working from home can continue business as usual for their customers, our team has been working hard to ensure that we could have this ready for them – rolling out to 70 branches in seven days.

“We’re proud to work with Connells on their identity checks and we hope that the rapid uptake of our remote technology – particularly in the Mortgage and Conveyancing offices – goes some way towards allowing the business to adapt and thrive during this otherwise very unusual time.”
