Deliveroo, Uber Eats and Just Eat have agreed to tighten security measures amid growing concerns that some asylum seekers are working illegally by using others’ accounts. Following government pressure, the companies will now increase facial recognition and fraud checks to ensure only authorised users can operate on their platforms. Just Eat will shift to daily identity verification. The move comes after reports revealed widespread account subletting among migrants, some of whom are barred from working while their asylum claims are being processed.
