Solving Identity Fraud in Nigeria with Amala’s Secure Verification

Let’s talk about something that’s become all too familiar for many Nigerians: identity fraud. 

From fraudulent loan applications using someone else’s BVN to SIM swap attacks and ghost accounts created with stolen NINs; it’s no longer just a distant risk. It’s a daily reality affecting individuals, families, and even entire businesses. 

But what if the story could be different? 

What if verifying who you are and who you're doing business with was secure, fast, and completely in your control? 

That’s the future Amala is building. 

Identity Fraud in Nigeria: A Growing Threat 

According to recent reports, digital fraud in Nigeria is on the rise, especially in sectors like fintech, telecom, and e-commerce. The common denominator? Weak or unreliable identity verification processes. 

Here’s how it usually plays out: 

• Someone’s personal details (BVN, NIN, or ID card) get into the wrong hands. 

• Fraudsters use that data to open accounts, take loans, or impersonate the real person. 

• The victim only finds out when their credit score is ruined or when law enforcement comes knocking. 

It’s not just frustrating. It’s dangerous. 

And unfortunately, most existing verification systems in Nigeria are fragmented, manual, and often vulnerable to manipulation. 

This Is Where Amala Comes In 

At Amala, we saw the gaps and decided it was time to close them.
