Strengthening the identity scheme in Africa
According to the World Bank's Identification for Development (ID4D) program, more than 40% of people without ID in the world live in Africa. At BACE, Our work has the objective to create unique digital identities for any citizens by investing and using biometrics technologies, especially facial recognition.
Banking the Unbanked / Inclusion
The poor identity scheme and lack of banking infrastructure in cities excludes the local population from basic services such as access to financial services, access to voting rights, and access to education. With BACE, People will be able to apply online services and get verified remotely in real-time at any time and from anywhere.
Fighting fraud and cybercrime
The potential for fraud is a major obstacle to the growth of businesses, especially online services. At BACE, we are aware that identity fraud can happen to anyone at any time. We are creating a secure environment between businesses and citizens, protecting personal data, and investing in raising awareness among end-users who are always the weakest link in the chain.

Co-founder & CEO
Bace Group
I come from the early, early days of technology. Bank of America was one of the first large corporations to invest in big data parsing to know their customers. They brought the different platforms together, online, ATM, tellers and branch officers together so they could enrich the existing relationships. There are 2 ways to grow; attract new customers or deepen the existing customers thru new targeted offers. BACE is the latest cutting edge technology to provide this advantage to their clients.

Most AI facial recognition systems are not ideally suited for African conditions. Bace has developed AI facial recognition APIs that are suited to the broader African market and are also far more cost-effective and scalable. The Bace technologies can be used across a wide cross-section of industries and government applications on the continent, for Africa, by Africa.
