PROJECT OVERVIEW:

VeriME is an intermediary digital Validation-as-a-Service (VaaS) that allows Service Providers who are its Partners to validate and/or authenticate a potential Customer who has already been verified and approved by VeriME. The verification process can be self-done by the Customer anytime, anywhere in 3 minutes right on the Customer’s mobile device via smart application which uses sophisticated technologies such as Artificial Intelligence, Computer Vision and Cloud Computing.
VeriME helps in strengthening the transparency & accuracy of transactions and improving user experience, while saving time and cost for Customer KYC and Authentication processes. VeriME operates on a Blockchain-based decentralized model. A customer’s Profile that has been validated & certified is stored right on his/her mobile device, ensuring privacy and eliminating the risk of data leakage

VeriME would initially offer two solutions to its partners:

D-KYC : Using this product, VeriME’s partners would be able to validate potential customers and complete onboarding process with them seamlessly within seconds. Typical partners in this case would be Peer-to-Peer Lending Companies, Resellers/Distributors of Insurance and Financial Products, e-Wallet Providers, Banks, Insurance companies, Government Institutions, Credit Card Issuers, Pre-paid/Private-Label/Loyalty Card Issuers, TelCos, Travel & Ticketing Companies, Payment Service Providers, Independent Sales Organizations, Merchant Service Providers, and last but not the least, Companies raising funds through ICOs!
D-SECURE: Using this product, VeriME’s partners would be able to seamlessly authenticate customers during the purchase of goods and services. Typical Partners in this case would be Banks, Payment Service Providers, Online Merchants, Marketplaces, Independent Sales Organizations, Merchant Service Providers, Merchants involved in high risk businesses such as Airlines, Luxury Goods, Gaming, Gambling, and all D-KYC Partners who accept payments from their customers for sale of Goods and Services. Apart from authenticating a sales transaction, D-SECURE would also provide dispute/chargeback protection to its Partners.

TOKEN UTILITY:

.As VeriME becomes a popular VaaS platform in the Blockchain and traditional space, many Partners will have to purchase VME Tokens in the open market through the Exchanges to use VeriME services. As demand increases, the value of VME Token in ETH and USD will grow sharply, bringing great benefits to the members in the VeriME ecosystem owning VME Tokens, especially those investors who purchase through ICO campaign at a very nominal initial price.
