Tackling under age sales with innovation on the high street: local businesses in Jersey are leading the way with digital identity app Yoti
London, UK, 16th July 2019 - Local businesses in Jersey, including The Channel Islands Co-operative Society and Alliance Supermarket are fighting underage sales and the rise of fake IDs by using Yoti’s digital identity app to verify the age of customers for age-restricted goods and services. Individuals can now use the free Yoti app to prove their age instead of carrying important photo ID documents such as their driving licence or passport - documents which the government and the police advise people to leave safe at home. Jersey is one of the first countries to employ the technology.
