About ACCREDIFY

Accredify is pioneering the world's transition to verifiable data. Headquartered in Singapore and founded in 2019, Accredify is Asia Pacific's leading service provider for the issuance of verifiable documents. With a presence in nine markets and serving nearly 600 users globally, Accredify has processed over 12 million verifications on 2 million issued documents, known as "Accredified documents". Led by a dedicated team that embraces the highest standards of customer service, security, and privacy, Accredify's mission is to be the foremost verification solutions provider for moments when trust matters most.

All digital documents issued by Accredify's cloud-based system are tamper-evident and traceable to the source. To verify documents, users simply have to drag and drop the document file into an online verifier portal or scan a QR code; results are instantaneous.

The core value proposition of Accredify's solution is the simplification of complex processes through automation and verified data. Designed with data portability and systems interoperability in mind, our verification technology is fit-for-every purpose. We have already transformed businesses across education, healthcare, and human resources verticals, helping organizations around the world discover new frontiers of operational efficiency. With verifiable data taking its place as the cornerstone of business operations in the future, we have ambitions to continue empowering organizations even beyond our current verticals.

Accredify's first vertical was the higher education sector, assisting some of the Asia Pacific and Europe's top universities and adult learning institutions in education credential management. By enabling the automation of creating and issuing tamper-evident, verifiable digital education documents, we have helped clients reduce man-hours spent on document management by up to 50%. We have been recognized as one of the Top 50 Southeast Asia EdTech Firms by HolonIQ for two consecutive years, in 2020 and 2021. Accredify was also awarded the Singapore Business Review Technology Excellence Award for Blockchain - Education in 2022.

In July 2020, Accredify expanded into the healthcare sector with the intent of helping the Singapore government manage the COVID-19 pandemic. We co-developed Singapore's digital verifiable COVID-19 test result known as HealthCerts, an internationally recognized standard of an individual's COVID-19 health status, which can be verified with a QR code scan.

We were also the first service provider to issue a verifiable COVID-19 swab result in Singapore. Presently, Accredify-issued HealthCerts are recognized on 4 continents and by more than 70 airlines around the world.
