What is a criminal background check in Kenya?

A criminal background check helps build your trust layers. For platforms like Bolt—or any service connecting people who don’t know each other—it’s a proactive safety measure. It’s a foundation layer of trust knowing that the person you are dealing with has been vetted. This kind of background screening boosts user confidence, protects your brand, and helps you take the lead with safety.
