The story
VerifyMe Nigeria is a Lagos-based digital identity company founded in 2013 to solve Africa's 'credibility gap' — the absence of trust infrastructure to underwrite consumers and SMEs. It operates two products: QoreID (an API-first KYC platform integrating with NIMC, FRSC and bank rails) and Pluto (background checks for HR). It also runs GOVA, an agent network for on-the-ground address and employment verification, positioning itself as full-stack identity infra for financial services, e-commerce, HR and telcos.
