Our Story

myID Africa is built by a team with deep, hands-on experience in personal identity systems in Africa. We understand the unique challenges and opportunities of digital identity on the continent.

Our track record speaks for itself: we issued 17 million MobileID credentials in Nigeria, demonstrating our ability to build and operate identity systems at national scale. This experience informs everything we do at myID Africa.

Now, we're applying that expertise to solve a bigger challenge: enabling trusted identity verification across African borders. Whether for remittances, travel, trade, or employment, myID Africa makes cross-border identity simple, secure, and inclusive.
