Pre-launch · Nigeria-first
Verisca is building a unified identity (KYC) and business (KYB) verification platform for African banks, fintechs, and businesses — one reliable answer to "is this real?", backed by compliance you can defend to a regulator.
The Problem
Every bank, fintech, lender, and investor faces the same bottleneck: confirming a person or business is who they claim to be — without exposing themselves to fraud or regulatory risk.
Checks fail against slow data sources, and a "pass" is sometimes returned instead of an honest "we couldn't confirm this."
Identity and business verification are usually two disconnected vendors for one onboarding flow.
Sensitive data handled with unclear consent trails and minimal audit visibility — a real liability under NDPR.
Users still retype information that already exists, correctly, on the ID they just handed over.
Our Approach
Everything else follows from these — reliability and compliance are the architecture, not features bolted on afterward.
Multi-source checks with automatic fallback. Every outcome is explicit — verified, not verified, or honestly unknown.
Consent, audit trail, and encryption are core modules — not a layer added once a regulator asks.
One integration for both individual and business verification, instead of two vendor relationships.
Deep, dependable Nigeria coverage first — expanding deliberately, not thinly.
How It Works
What happens when a customer taps "Verify" — from submitting an ID to a trustworthy answer landing back in seconds.
Developers wire a "Verify Identity" step into the existing onboarding flow — a one-time setup.
A clean screen opens inside the app itself — branded to feel native, no confusing redirect.
A photo of the ID; details are read off the document and pre-filled for confirmation.
Before any lookup runs, Verisca confirms consent for this specific check.
NIN/BVN is checked live, with automatic fallback if a source is slow.
A clear result — plus a logged audit trail of exactly what was checked.
Trust & Compliance
What we commit to architecturally, from the first line of code — not promises added after the fact.
No check runs without a valid, scoped consent record tied to the request.
Every access to personal data is logged — who, what, when, why.
Sensitive data lives in an isolated, encrypted vault, separate from operational data.
A check that can't be confirmed says so — never silently defaults to pass or fail.
Data is purged or anonymized once it's past its retention window, on schedule.
Architected to map cleanly onto Nigeria's data protection law from day one.
