GB provides identity verification to new Tesco Property Market service

Last month saw the latest development from Tesco in the shape of a new online property venture, Tesco Property Market. This brand new property website will provide customers in England and Wales with a one-stop route to buying and selling property online.

Before potential buyers are able to contact a seller, their identity is confirmed using URU from GB Group. The aim of the service is to protect al sellers against the risk of a potential buyer turing out to be a fraudster, criminal or money launderer.

Tesco Property market confirms that it chose to partner with GB Group, as it recognised the business as a leading provider of ID verificaiton tools. "URU ensures that the process is as robust and user-friendly as it can possibly be and confirms buyer ID more accurately than any other system on the market. We are absolutely committed to ensuring that stolen identities are never used on Tesco Property Market," said an official spokesman.
