Protecting the people behind the data
Fraud is faster, cheaper and more automated than ever. Mefa answers each threat with purpose-built technology, from the first sign-up to every interaction that follows.
Deepfakes, synthetic faces and scripted sign-ups now hit onboarding at industrial scale. Mefa’s liveness detection blocks spoofs and injected video before a fake account ever exists.
Every check returns a clear decision with the signals behind it, so your team can approve the obvious cases automatically and spend review time only where the risk is real.
Names, dates of birth, phone numbers and photos are matched field by field against the authoritative record, so a near-miss is flagged instead of quietly passing.
National ID, bank, phone and business records are linked into one view of a customer, making it harder for a borrowed or stitched-together identity to slip through.
One contract for identity across the continent, starting with deep, in-country coverage of Nigerian sources and growing market by market.
Face match and liveness ship as SDKs for web, Android, iOS and React Native, so the capture step looks native in your product and the result lands on the same API.
