For Ozow, the partnership supports its mission to make digital payments simple, safe, and more accessible for all South Africans.

RelyComply  partners with Ozow,  one of South Africa’s leading payment innovators, to simplify and secure the onboarding process for merchants, enabling thousands of businesses to start transacting with confidence.

 

Staying ahead of fraud in a fast-changing landscape

South Africa’s payment landscape has undergone significant changes, with account-to-account, mobile, and voucher payments now an integral part of everyday life. However, with increased digital activity comes an increased opportunity for fraud, from fake identities and mule accounts to bogus business registrations.

By embedding RelyComply’s AI verification tools directly into its onboarding process, Ozow can detect high-risk profiles before they become a problem, resulting in a cleaner, safer payment network for everyone involved.

“Onboarding is where trust begins. As payment systems grow, that trust needs to scale too. Our partnership with Ozow reflects a shared belief – that secure growth starts with smarter AML compliance.”

Bradley Elliott, CEO, RelyComply

 

Making digital payments more inclusive and secure

For Ozow, the partnership supports its mission to make digital payments simple, safe, and more accessible for all South Africans. Strengthening compliance means giving both merchants and consumers more confidence in every transaction.

“We’re excited to partner with RelyComply to enhance the safety and reliability of our merchant onboarding process. As we grow, we remain focused on helping people and businesses transact with confidence.”

Rachel Cowan, Interim CEO, Ozow
