Also for every driver
- Driver's licence number, expiry date and a photo of the licence
- How long they have been driving
- If they use their own car: its make, model, colour and plate number
- ID checked by a personA valid ID (NIN slip or card, passport, driver's licence or voter's card), checked to be genuine and in date, with the NIN matched.
- Live video selfieA short video selfie, matched to the face on the ID, so the person who comes is the person we checked.
- Home addressProof of address from the last three months, checked against the address they give.
- References and a guarantorTwo references and a guarantor, all called by Towel's team before approval.
- Met by TowelTowel's team meets each provider in person or on a video call before approving them.
- Bank account in their own nameSo every payment goes to the real, named person.
