Kijiji & Interac Boost Trust on Canada's Largest Peer-to-Peer Marketplace

0:00Kijiji and Interact just teamed up to boost trust on Canada's biggest peer-to-peer marketplace. Kijiji sees over 4 million live listings and adds more than 1 million new ones every month, covering everything from cars to clothes. Now, users can verify their identity using Interact verified before messaging, posting items, or meeting up, making those stranger to stranger deals. Feel way safer. This move builds on Kijiji's ratings and reviews by adding a real identity check layer. They picked Interact because it's already trusted by banks and governments here in Canada, keeping all data under local rules. No more wondering if that five-star seller is who they say. Folks are hides because it cuts the uncertainty in big buys like real estate or autos, and even small stuff like furniture or phones. Kijiji's general manager says trust is everything, and this raises the bar for millions transacting monthly. Interact's head adds it brings their networks reliability right to your next swap.

This sets a fresh standard for safe online trading up north, letting Canadians buy and sell with real confidence, no matter the item. Local news, powered by AI. This is Canada News Today.
