We are excited to announce a new partnership with Golix, Zimbabwe’s largest cryptocurrency exchange.

SelfKey and its founder and compliance SaaS provider KYC-Chain will enable an end-to-end digital identity & KYC/AML solution for Golix. Golix will use KYC-Chain’s compliance software to streamline its onboarding process, while meeting the most stringent compliance regulatory standards

Golix will also integrate the SelfKey Identity Wallet into their exchange platform. This integration will provide SelfKey Wallet users with an instant Golix verified account sign up option and be able to access their Golix account with just one click.

Residents of Cameroon, Kenya, Nigeria, Rwanda, South Africa, Tanzania and Uganda that use the SelfKey Wallet will be able to register accounts in Golix through the SelfKey Marketplace or using the “Log in with SelfKey” button, a Self-Sovereign Identity OAuth solution that will be placed in Golix’s website. SelfKey Wallet users will need to stake KEY tokens to gain access to the marketplace.

Currently in the midst of it’s ICO, Golix aims to provide everyone in Africa financial autonomy and security by allowing them easy access to trade cryptocurrency. Since June 1, 2018 people from Uganda, Kenya and South Africa have had access to trade on Golix with recent countries to gain access including Rwanda, Tanzania and Cameroon. Furthermore, the startup aims to promote “cryptocurrency infrastructure across the entire African continent,” according to Golix’s spokesperson Nhlalwenhle Ngwenya.

We are proud to join forces with Golix. Their mission to provide financial accessibility to all African citizens is very much aligned with the founding principles of SelfKey. In addition, this strategic partnership will allow us to grow our user base in Africa, which is one of the emerging markets that suffers most acutely with identity-related problems.

We look forward to working with Golix and we are excited to provide the African community with a Self-Sovereign Identity solution that will empower them to have a digital identity under their own control.
