What does the ID Verified by GBG Group badge mean?
The site using the badge is a GBG Group client. The badge confirms that the client's customer has been officially checked and verified by GB Group plc ('GBG').
GBG's Identity Verification solutions give you the highest possible degree of confidence that the person you are talking to really is who they say they are - globally. Powered by GBG's innovative ID3 technology, GBG provides unique data matching capabilities that authenticate an individual's identity, within seconds.
Although the process is rigorous, it cannot provide an absolute guarantee against instances of fraud occurring. Consequently, neither GBG or the client using the ID Verified by GBG badge can accept responsibility for any loss, liability and damage that may be incurred by users of any site using the ID Verified by GBG badge.
