In a deal which was closed last week, EBCoin — a startup by EBC Foundation — announced their partnership with the Singapore-based company VeriME for their customer verification and authentication.

This move which was unveiled to the media by VeriME company officials came shortly after the company successfully completed their pre-tokensale on the 4th of February 2018, raising a whopping $6.89 million last week!

Announcing this partnership, the CEO of EBCoin, Jason Kim said, “We are excited to have VeriME as our newest partners. Leveraging their decentralized KYC and Payment Authentication solutions, we will reduce friction caused due to the traditional means of customer verification and authentication.”

Traditional means of authentication and verification have caused companies to spend an average of $60 million on customer verification and authentication. Aside from this, the process is time consuming which further tends to complicate the customer onboarding process.

“We are delighted to add EB Coin to our partner portfolio” said Sanjeev Kumar, Co-founder, VeriME. “With this partnership, VeriME has now extended its reach further into the crypto-space and North Asian markets, making it easier for investors as well as crypto-enthusiasts to buy and purchase crypto-coins and tokens.”

Saving the costs while offering verification as well as authentication within seconds, comes VeriME — a blockchain-based VaaS (Verification as a Service) provider. With VeriME, anyone can remotely complete their KYC within seconds without the need to stand in queues or submit photocopies of documents for the same.

EBCoin is a Singapore-based start-up which seeks to address the expensive obstacles that tourists currently face while shopping abroad. Chief among these are the various consumption taxes. In theory, tourists can recoup the costs of these taxes through refunds but the complexity and the high cost of the refund system means that most travellers recoup, at most, a fraction of the money they paid as recoverable taxes.

By providing a decentralized platform for claiming tax refunds, EBCoin allows tourists to recoup most of the money they pay as consumption taxes. Releasing a new coin that can be exchanged on a decentralized exchange platform for multiple fiat and digital currencies will further help tourists save money by reducing the cost of exchanging their money.
