pawaPass is helping businesses trust the people they interact with online or remotely, using facial biometrics and other supporting digital data. Millions of people are coming online in Africa, and need to access services and protect their online accounts. At the same time, the surge in online fraud, deep fakes and abuse, poses a threat to offering those services in a cost-efficient, secure, and user-friendly way. Enter pawaPass, founded in 2022 by Sylvia Brune, once part of the management team at 88mph and 440NG, some of the earliest Africa-based accelerators. This means that in the next decade, the best way to ensure access to global opportunities like jobs, trade, access services remotely, is through some form of high trust system,” Brune said.
