Trulioo, the global identity verification provider, has announced that it is now able to verify consumers and business entities in Pakistan.
The expansion marks a significant step for the firm, with Pakistan having a mobile adoption by 75% of its citizens, as well as some of the highest numbers of mobile phone users worldwide.
According to a GSMA study, the mobile sector continues to grow in Pakistan – redefining the way individuals, businesses and state bodies function and interact. As Pakistan’s population continues to rise, the digital economy will play an increasingly important role in driving greater connectivity, wellbeing and financial prosperity across all parts of its society.
Steve Munford, CEO of Trulioo commented: “The pandemic has dramatically accelerated the shift to digital all across the world and this means that online trust and security is now more important than ever.
“Our mission is to ensure every person on the planet has a digital identity as a means to access basic financial services and support. Being able to verify identities in the 10 most populous countries in the world is a significant milestone on our journey.”
He added: “Pakistan is making great strides toward becoming a digital society; the government has recently announced that citizens overseas will soon be able to open their bank accounts and make investments directly in the country from abroad with the launch of digital banking facilities in the next month.
“This will be a game-changer, providing citizens access to digital capabilities, including funds transfer, e-commerce, bill payment and much more.”
