Know Your Customer

Financial institutions have practised KYC for decades

Whether a customer has a bad reputation, is involved in money laundering, trades your products on the black or grey market, or is linked to a fraud syndicate — there are real legal and reputational risks in dealing with bad actors.

What is KYC?

Know Your Customer — beyond financial services

KYC was pioneered by financial institutions to verify who they were doing business with. Today, the same discipline is essential for any organisation onboarding new customers, distributors, or commercial partners.

Our KYC solutions help you understand who your customers really are — confirming their identity, assessing their risk profile, and ensuring compliance with AML, sanctions, and regulatory requirements before the relationship begins.

What KYC screening uncovers

Our KYC checks go beyond name matching — we screen across 30 defined risk areas specific to African markets.

Regulatory requirement

Sanctions & Watchlists

Check customers against government and international sanctions lists, terror financing watchlists, and enforcement agency databases.

PEP screening

Politically Exposed Persons

Identify PEPs — individuals who hold prominent public positions — and their close associates, who present elevated corruption and bribery risks.

AML compliance

Anti-Money Laundering

Screen customers for involvement in money laundering schemes, financial fraud, or transactions linked to illicit funds flows across African financial systems.

SOE risk

State-Owned Entities

Flag SOEs in your customer base that may introduce heightened compliance requirements, pricing constraints, or conflict-of-interest concerns.

Fraud detection

Fraud & Grey Market Activity

Identify customers involved in fraud syndicates, counterfeit operations, grey market reselling, or false advertising — protecting your brand and revenue.

Reputational risk

Reputational & Media Risk

Surface adverse media coverage, litigation records, and reputational red flags from thousands of African and international sources — before you onboard.
