VerifyMe Launches Nigeria’s First-Ever Digital ID Report
Imagine a world without digital identity? What kind of place would it be? For a start, you most likely won’t be able to transact business online, or even shop from your favourite stores online as we have all become accustomed to. Now think about the government at all levels, they wouldn’t be able to make proper plans and projections for you because they don’t know you exist.
All these challenges can be solved by one element: a strong digital identity infrastructure. Truth is, digital identity is changing our lives in more ways than we can imagine, from business to e-commerce, to ensuring our safety and making governance effective across board. And as factors such as COVID-19 continue to stimulate migration online, the need for a dependable digital Identity base becomes imperative.
This realisation inspired us to take a deeper look at the industry to understand its true state and the trends and opportunities it presents. We partnered with Dalberg Advisors; a leading global social impact advisory group to interrogate the industry. What started as a simple curiosity has birthed Nigeria’s very first independent assessment and industry report — Digital ID in Nigeria: State of the Industry.
As Nigeria’s pioneer identity verification and KYC technology company, we are proud to announce the launch of Nigeria’s very first official report on the country’s digital identity industry.
