Nigeria’s identity verification company, Prembly, has merged with Peleza, an East African background checks and KYB (Know Your Business) company, to form the new Prembly Group.
This strategic alliance aims to leverage synergies to enhance service delivery across multiple sectors, including finance, telecommunications, and e-commerce. The merger is expected to streamline digital solutions for emerging companies and some governments in Africa, helping them navigate local markets and overcome adoption challenges. Peleza’s experience in the East African region, having partnered with companies like Uber, Bolt, and FedEx, guarantees opportunities for continued growth.
Lanre Ogungbe, founder and CEO of Prembly, commented on the merger, stating, “The merger with Peleza deepens our industry knowledge and elevates our strengths and technologies, empowering us to exceed our clients’ expectations worldwide. We are also very excited to have Marita, with over 15 years of experience, join our leadership team at the newly formed Prembly Group to drive innovation and enhance our strategic initiatives.”
Marita Mutemi of Peleza also expressed her enthusiasm, saying, “This is a once-in-a-lifetime transformational opportunity to combine two great companies with great cultures, histories, and a promising future. The strength in both our numbers as one unified team, with both enterprises coming together to serve global markets and creating a combined culture that supports our single global vision of driving excellence in data integrity and regulatory compliance, excites us.”
Founded in 2021, Prembly has emerged as a key player in the digital security and infrastructure space, serving enterprises and global companies by helping them expand into emerging markets and positioning the continent as the next hub for growth. Since its inception, the identity verification company has processed over 40 million verifications, a number expected to triple with the recent merger with Peleza.
