Nigeria’s Leading Identity Verification Startup, Verified.Africa Launches in Ghana, South Africa, and Kenya

Verified.africa’s users can confirm the identity of one or thousands of customers in seconds, to enable speedy customer onboarding and digital security. 

When one of Nigeria’s foremost financial institutions, First Bank, wanted to meet up with regulatory requirements for KYC (Know your customer), they leveraged an onboarding service to verify the identities of every customer, reducing turnaround time by over 50%. 

For another tech investment startup, Bamboo, they utilised the same platform to validate and verify the national identity of their customers, enabling over 50,000 people to trade in local and international stocks safely. 

That onboarding platform is Verified.africa, a leading provider of ID verification, document verification, and digital KYC compliance solutions in Nigeria. 

Now, Verified.africa, has expanded its offerings to three more countries across Africa including Ghana, South Africa and Kenya. 

This brings their total coverage to four countries with its initial inception in Nigeria, where they carried out over one million customer verifications for one thousand businesses. 

Debo Musa, Settlement Manager at Bamboo, says “Verified.africa helps to reduce our risk exposure and obtain accurate data. We can also do analytics on the customers that we are verifying. We can see where they are coming from and we use that knowledge to project where we should target more customers”. 

He added that “Verified.africa gives us that level of confidence, especially with regulatory bodies and agencies. With Verified.africa, we can identify our customers and be sure that they are who they say they are. That’s the best part for us”. 

Ghana, South Africa and Kenya represent key markets for Verified’s roadmap into continental dominance and with this launch, more organisations in these countries can access the best of digital verification for business growth.
