VerifiMe for energy retail & utilities

Contract verification built for energy retailers.

Retail energy contracts are among the most heavily regulated consumer agreements in Canada, and several provinces require retailers to verify new contracts. VerifiMe gives you a fast, consistent and fully documented way to confirm each enrolment.

The challenge

Where sales go wrong in energy retail & utilities.

Mandatory verification requirements

Retailers in regulated markets must confirm that the customer understood and accepted the contract. Manual verification calls are slow and expensive to staff.

Rate and term misunderstanding

Fixed versus variable rates, contract length, and early-termination fees are common sources of complaints. Customers confirm each one directly.

Account holder confirmation

Only the account holder or an authorized person should enrol. An optional passcode check adds confidence.

Evidence on request

When a regulator or customer asks how a contract was verified, you need to produce a timestamped record quickly.

Sample questionnaire

What your customers confirm.

Values are pre-filled from your system. Questions marked red fail the verification if answered the wrong way.

Example only. Your questionnaire is built around your own contracts, products and obligations.

Workflow

How it fits your process.

  1. Customer enrols

    Your agent or online flow captures the enrolment and posts it to VerifiMe.

  2. Identity confirmed

    The customer enters a one-time passcode before seeing the verification.

  3. Terms confirmed

    The customer confirms rate, term, fees and that they understand you are not their utility.

  4. Record retained

    The report and separate audit trail are available whenever you need to demonstrate verification.

When something's wrong

A fail rule, in practice.

The customer is reassured, your team is alerted, and the issue is documented, all within seconds of the answer.

FAQ

Questions we hear often

Can VerifiMe replace verification calls?
That depends on the rules in your market. Some regulators specify how verification must be done. Talk to us and your compliance team about where digital verification fits; many retailers use it alongside or ahead of call-based processes.
Can we require the passcode on every enrolment?
Yes. Turn on the identity check for the questionnaire and every customer must pass it before they can respond.
