Verify customers with explicit consent. Retain only approved claims.
MID is the QR + biometric identity layer for Africa. Your customers prove who they are by scanning a code and approving with their face or fingerprint — you receive government-verified data without ever storing it.
Identity fraud is eating your margins
Synthetic identities, account takeover, and chargebacks scale with every new user — while slow manual KYC quietly kills your conversion.
Synthetic identities
Fabricated identities slip through document-only checks and open fraudulent accounts at scale.
Account takeover
Stolen credentials and SIM swaps let attackers drain accounts and trigger costly disputes.
POS chargebacks
Cash-out fraud and repudiated transactions erode agent-network and merchant margins.
Onboarding drop-off
Every extra minute of manual KYC forms compounds abandonment at sign-up.
Verified data, three steps, no forms
A consent-first flow that guides a customer from a request to an approved set of identity claims.
Your app requests claims
From your backend, create a consent request for exactly the verified fields you need — name, age, address, NIN, liveness. MID returns a QR code.
The user scans & approves
The customer scans the QR with the MID app and approves with their fingerprint or face. They choose precisely what to share — they stay in control.
You receive verified data
MID delivers approved identity claims to your signed webhook with the associated verification result. You store only what you need.
The data stays with the user
MID wraps the federal identity registry in a consent-first, zero-knowledge layer — so you get consent-based verification while reducing unnecessary data handling.
Minimise retained identity data
Our zero-knowledge architecture keeps verified data with the user, not on your servers. You receive only the claims a user approves — minimising your Nigeria Data Protection Act exposure.
Pre-verified NIN via NINAuth
Pull tokenised, pre-verified identity claims derived from the NIMC NINAuth registry. No raw NIN storage, no document re-uploads — a verified token your compliance team can trust.
Verify once, reuse everywhere
Once a user is verified with MID, they authenticate on your app with a QR scan — no fresh KYC, no re-uploaded documents. The network effect compounds with every merchant.
Built for high-fraud, high-volume verticals
Purpose-built for the businesses where identity fraud costs the most and speed matters the most.
Fintech & neo-banks
Add identity and liveness checks to onboarding workflows without requiring merchants to retain every raw document.
Agency banking & POS
Let a POS agent verify a high-value cash-out customer with a single QR scan — biometric proof of presence that defends against fraudulent chargebacks.
Marketplaces & e-commerce
Verify high-risk checkouts and seller onboarding without adding friction. Stop account takeover at the moment of payment.
Digital lending
Confirm a borrower is a real, unique, government-verified person before disbursing — reducing first-party fraud and default from fake identities.
Give users a faster choice at the worst moment
Offer MID exactly where users stall — at checkout or account opening. Every merchant that offers it drives more verified consumers into the network.
