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.
