The story

Founded in 2019 in Cairo, Digified is a B2B identity verification infrastructure provider targeting Arabic-language markets across Egypt, the Middle East, and Africa. The company has remained focused on e-KYC and digital identity, building proprietary ML/computer vision technology for Arabic data extraction, face matching, anti-spoofing, and government database authentication. Their SDK-first approach (Android, iOS, Flutter) positions them as embedded KYC infrastructure for fintechs, digital banks, ride-hailing apps, and telecoms — the company IS the KYC vendor rather than a buyer of KYC services.
