Homegrown biometric identity authentication business iiDENTIFii has been globally recognised for the groundbreaking work it is doing for digital identity, on the African continent and beyond.
In May 2025, Bloomberg named iiDENTIFii as one of Bloomberg’s 25 African Startups to Watch in 2025. The global media giant assessed over 2,000 companies in Africa, selecting their top 25 companies that have developed innovative solutions – many of which are also demonstrating notable socio-economic impact. iiDENTIFii was the only Biometric Identity Verification and Authentication company on the list.
The publication said: “With many African countries lacking a formal identification measure, businesses struggle with fraud, identity verification and compliance. iiDENTIFii says it’s able to cut down on fraud and make it easier for people to verify their identity through taking simple selfies on a mobile phone.”
Over 60% of the largest Tier 1 banks in South Africa trust iiDENTIFii to keep their customers, data and assets safe.
iiDENTIFiii was also this month awarded the status of being a Luminary in the Deepfake & Synthetic Identity Prism. This research report, managed by The Prism Project, offers comprehensive, global, vendor-neutral analysis empowering public and private sectors enterprises to fortify digital identity in the age of GenAI fraud.
The publication states, “Guided forward by continuous monitoring of direct attacks, global threats, and security trends and vulnerabilities, iDENTIFiï’s multi-layered approach to fraud is perfectly suited for the region. Built-in redundancies allow for offline identity verification, and no-code and low-code configurations enable easy use on a wide range of devices.”
iiDENTIFii’s reliability and international relevance has been further enhanced by a recent accreditation to ISO/IEC 27001:2022, showcasing its commitment to top-tier information security and customer data protection. This milestone, in addition to its growing accolades and recognition, has solidified iiDENTIFii’s position as a global leader in biometric ID verification.
