To protect platform integrity, every review on our platform—verified or not—is screened by our 24/7 automated software. This technology is designed to identify and remove content that breaches our guidelines, including reviews that are not based on a genuine experience.

I needed some guidance on result checking, so I rang customer services and spoke with Kristine.

She was so pleasant and explained everything, answering any questions that I had. Up until then, there had been some confusion however, Kristine went through everything with me and could not have been more helpful.

Her advice was greatly appreciated and has given me the clarity that I needed.

Did its job, good app

I had to download this app for an ID check with DBS for a new job. After reading the reviews, I was pretty skeptical because many people said it didn’t work. However, I found that the key issue (at least on iPhone) is the browser. If you’re using an iPhone, you need to download Google Chrome and set it as your default browser before starting the check.
Initially, my default browser was Safari and the image upload failed every time. Once I switched my default browser to Google Chrome, the process worked perfectly and was completed within two minutes with no issues.
Key takeaway: iPhone users should use Google Chrome as the default browser for this to work smoothly.

Thank you for leaving your review! We usually recommend using Google Chrome because it tends to handle camera permissions more effectively. Other browsers can create issues, particularly with accessing the front camera for the selfie stage due to the permission settings. So we often find that Google Chrome works best.

Highly Recommended for ID Compliance

Our business verifies around 100 new clients every day, and TrustID has transformed the way we handle ID checks.

The process is smooth, reliable, and our clients experience very few difficulties — they trust the system, and so do we. TrustID has dramatically improved the efficiency and accuracy of our ID collection.

The customer service provided by the TrustID team has been excellent throughout: responsive, knowledgeable, and consistently helpful.

Highly recommended.
