KYC 101 for Founders [with Smile ID]

​While African companies come online and build digital products, the risk of online fraud and scams is on the rise.

​And following the boom of AI, now fraudsters are better at impersonating people with highly realistic versions of forged documents.

​If you're a startup, you need to stay on top of market fraud trends to protect your customers and avoid getting scammed.

​Which is why we have teamed up with Smile ID to present KYC 101 for Founders.

​Smile ID is Africa's market leader in Know Your Customer - helping companies verify users and prevent fraud at scale.

​In the past year, they raised $20 million, acquired Ghanaian identity verification start-up Appruve and hit 75 million ID checks.

​We'll also have Henry Obiekea, Managing Director of Fairmoney, joining us.

​Fairmoney is a Nigerian neobank with over 5 million users, and raised a $42 million Series B in 2021.

​Come along to learn about how to protect yourself and your customers from digital fraud, and how to access up to $6,000 worth of KYC credits from Smile.
