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.
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.

Our Know Your Customer platform helps with the onboarding of new customers by providing onboarding technology, KYC screening, and due diligence capabilities — all accessible through a single interface.
Identifying risks in your customer base
Managing potential risks associated with new and existing customers — covering contract compliance, sanctions exposure, ethical conduct, and legal and regulatory behaviour across Africa's diverse markets.
What KYC screening uncovers
Our KYC checks go beyond name matching — we screen across 30 defined risk areas specific to African markets.
Sanctions & Watchlists
Check customers against government and international sanctions lists, terror financing watchlists, and enforcement agency databases.
Politically Exposed Persons
Identify PEPs — individuals who hold prominent public positions — and their close associates, who present elevated corruption and bribery risks.
Anti-Money Laundering
Screen customers for involvement in money laundering schemes, financial fraud, or transactions linked to illicit funds flows across African financial systems.
State-Owned Entities
Flag SOEs in your customer base that may introduce heightened compliance requirements, pricing constraints, or conflict-of-interest concerns.
Fraud & Grey Market Activity
Identify customers involved in fraud syndicates, counterfeit operations, grey market reselling, or false advertising — protecting your brand and revenue.
Reputational & Media Risk
Surface adverse media coverage, litigation records, and reputational red flags from thousands of African and international sources — before you onboard.
From onboarding to ongoing monitoring
Our KYC platform covers the full customer lifecycle — from initial identity verification through to continuous risk monitoring as your relationship evolves.
