EatOut has partnered with Truecaller to make sign-ups and phone number verifications easier for new users in their app. The integration aims to further bolster EatOut’s customer identity verification process which in turn helps minimizing risks of less verified users and maximizing trust in the EatOut platform.

“EatOut are changing the way people discover food, and we are excited to play a role in this vision by enabling tools that increase trust and enable frictionless user onboarding. Our ambition is to bring this solution across the ecosystem,” says Zakaria Hersi, Director Business Development & Partnerships at Truecaller.
