Carousell launches MyInfo government database service for its user profiles

Carousell has incorporated the government-run data service MyInfo on the online marketplace’s platform to enable verification of user profiles in a bid to combat scams. MyInfo allows users to auto-fill online forms with their personal information, which is pulled from public agencies and saved in a central data bank. Carousell is the first online classifieds service to partner Government Technology Agency (GovTech) in rolling out MyInfo.
