Our story

Based on the Zulu word (uqobo) for truth, reality or self, the
very one(s).

As one of EMEA’s most innovative digital identity companies,
uqudo’s mission is to bring trust and transparency in an
increasingly digital world by building an identity layer.

Founded by a team of identity experts, uqudo has a long heritage
of working with governments and regulators in delivering
large-scale, national identity programs. As a natural progression
of these successes, uqudo began providing its technology and
solutions to banks, telcos, insurance companies, fintechs, startups
and more.

uqudo adopts advanced digital identity technology including
biometrics, certified 3D liveness detection, NFC-based passport
reading, cognitive document analysis, AI and blockchain. This
enables users to experience a fast, secure and frictionless
onboarding process whilst protecting the organization from
fraudulent activities and simultaneously ensuring the organizations
are fully compliant with KYC, AML and CDD regulations.

What differentiates uqudo from other identity players in the EMEA
region is the capability to verify identities not only in the
countries customers operate in but also in those they are planning
to expand to in the near future, making uqudo the de-facto option
for digital identity.
