## Testimonials
- "Middesk helped us see that some of our rules were too granular, which helped us approve more businesses without sacrificing any of the quality of our approval process." — Jon Patterson, Credit Operations & Analytics Leader at GreatAmerica
- "We were getting a lot of applications from newer businesses that we couldn’t verify with another risk solution’s data. Middesk has data directly from the Secretary of State, which led to better conversion, and higher confidence in the data we received because it comes straight from the source." — Novo, PM, Onboarding, Fraud, and Payments at Novo
- "Middesk has taken the brunt of the compliance workload off of our customer support team so they can continue helping our customers with timely resolutions to any issue they encounter with their background checks." — Mike Spolarich, Staff Software Engineer, Checkr
- "By far, our favorite feature of Middesk is its intuitive dashboard, where our underwriting team and support agents can go in and quickly and easily access anything they need." — Aaron Bai, CEO and Co-Founder, Affiniti
