Digified
AI-powered digital identity verification and eKYC platform for non-banking financial institutions in Egypt and EMEA
Overview
Digified is a compliance and regulatory technology provider offering AI-powered digital identity verification and eKYC services to non-banking financial institutions (NBFIs) in Egypt and the broader EMEA region. Its platform enables insurers, fintech companies, digital banks, and other FRA-regulated businesses to digitally onboard customers without physical presence or paper documents.
The company delivers its services through a suite of APIs covering biometric identity verification, Arabic OCR for document digitization, government database authentication, and legally binding e-contracting. Digified uses machine learning and computer vision to perform liveness detection, face matching, and national ID validation against Egyptian government registries. Its e-contracting module generates dynamic and smart contracts registered with official government contract registries, giving them full legal standing.
Founded in 2019, Digified has processed over 25 million annual verifications across Egypt's lending, investment, and insurance sectors. In August 2025, Egypt's Financial Regulatory Authority (FRA) granted the company authorization to provide AI-powered eKYC and digital contracting services to NBFIs, positioning it as a licensed infrastructure provider for insurance companies and other regulated entities conducting fully digital onboarding. Seed funding has been raised from Plug and Play, Loyal VC, Falak Startups, AUC Venture Lab, Changelabs, and EFG-EV.
