Digital identity infrastructure provider Identy.io has announced an expansion of its African operations, positioning itself to address one of the continent’s most persistent barriers to digital transformation: the lack of reliable, inclusive identity verification systems. However, millions of users remain excluded due to fragmented identity systems, limited access to formal IDs, and high fraud risks. Identy.io’s expansion focuses on delivering AI-powered biometric verification, document authentication, and eKYC (electronic Know Your Customer) solutions tailored for African markets. “Identy.io is committed to being the leading long-term partner in digital public and private infrastructure for our African clients. Our technology supports biometric capture using standard smartphones, processes identity documents, issues digital identities to individuals lacking formal identification, and facilitates large-scale biometric verification and deduplication.
