About myID Africa
Bringing secure, privacy-focused cross-border identity to the African continent.
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.
Our Mission
To provide every African with a secure, privacy-preserving digital identity that works seamlessly across borders - regardless of whether they use a smartphone, feature phone, or physical slip.
Our Values
Privacy First
We believe your personal data belongs to you. Our systems are designed to verify without over-sharing.
Inclusion
Digital identity should be accessible to all, not just those with the latest smartphones.
Trust
We build systems that organisations and individuals can trust for their most important transactions.
Pan-African
Built for Africa, by people who understand Africa. Designed to work across the continent's diverse infrastructure.
