deverium’s primary objective was to develop a people-facing app that combined the three separate ID verification solutions into a single application.

Our role

deverium played a pivotal role in supporting GBG and acted as a strategic mobile development partner, assisting GBG in building scalable mobile SDKs and apps. The collaboration began with deverium delivering a key project that yielded successful results, paving the way for continued cooperation in the research and development (R&D) space. GBG faced a significant challenge when the UK introduced new legislation regarding right to work and right to rent. GBG enlisted deverium to develop a government-approved app that would enable individuals to undergo verification based on multiple variables. Previously, GBG relied on several different B2B solutions for verification, but the new law mandated that GBG become the end service provider responsible for determining if the verified documents met the requirements.

This marked GBG’s first business-to-consumer (B2C) app development endeavor. Despite the limited timeframe of three months, deverium assembled a team of 100 individuals, including internal GBG staff, to work on the project. deverium assumed the leadership role, with deverium at the forefront, serving in the key roles required for the transformation.
