Why we exist
Verifying a person or a business in Tanzania today means stitching together NIDA, BRELA, TRA, banks and the mobile operators — each with its own process, each rebuilt by every company that needs it. The result is duplicated infrastructure, inconsistent checks, and onboarding that is slower and costlier than it should be.
Hakiki unifies KYC and KYB into a single, trusted layer. One consent-based request reaches every connected source and returns a clean, auditable result — so banks, fintechs, insurers and regulated platforms can build on shared infrastructure instead of their own.
How we're building it
We're starting where the data already exists. The mobile operators already run identity verification at national scale through SIM-registration and mobile-money KYC, so the telco route is our first integration. From there we connect the authoritative registries — NIDA for national identity, BRELA for business registration, TRA for tax status — one trusted source at a time.
Consent first, always
A verification layer only deserves trust if the person being verified is in control. Every request through Hakiki is tied to recorded consent, and every check is written to an append-only audit trail. We hold as little data as possible and make every lookup provable after the fact. You can read more in our data protection commitments.
Where we are
Hakiki is early. We're building the platform alongside the first design partners and data sources. If you're a regulated institution that wants to help shape it — or a source that wants to reach the businesses who depend on your data — get in touch.
