Why Our Customers Love RefNow!
"It was a completely paper based and entirely manual process. Unsurprisingly, it was extremely time consuming and we would spend hours each day and up to 2 weeks in total on completing one candidate.
The fraud and vetting on RefNow is also really insightful, we feel much more secure and confident in who we are processing"
