Introduction / Background

At Smile Identity, they are building tools and software to change the way millions of Africans prove and authenticate their identity online.

 

Their artificial intelligence and identity verification tools have been specially designed for African faces and identities.

 

They set out in May 2017 with a firm determination to ensure that access to a digital lifestyle should not be limited by one’s ID card or country of origin and that Africans anywhere should be able to easily prove and verify their identities.

 

Today, their products are used by over 75 customers across a wide range of industries such as Banking, Fintech, Social Welfare, Telecoms, and the Shared Economy; with over 1M KYC checks across the continent every month.

 

By combining Government ID validation with proprietary face verification software, Smile Identity offers Africa’s best digital KYC (Know Your Customer) solution, enabling entrepreneurs and institutions to pursue rapid Pan-African growth with confidence.

 

“Our artificial intelligence and identity verification tools have been specially designed for African faces and identities.”

 

Their vision is to make it easy for Africans anywhere to easily prove and verify their identities online.
