When your customers check, they see you: verified.
Verifyd is a consumer-facing validation tool that South Africans use to
check suspicious messages before they pay or click. When a message matches
a Verifyd Business partner's verified sender profile, the consumer sees your
institution name alongside a Verified Partner badge, not just a generic
green light.
Your verified phone numbers, email domains, and sender IDs are curated into
our whitelist directly from your official channels and confirmed with your
team. Every check that matches your profile returns a clear, reasoned verdict,
built against your verified identifiers, that your customers can act on
with confidence.
Feature 01
Your institution name and a Verified Partner badge appear on every consumer check that matches your verified sender profile. Consumers see confirmation that the message they received is legitimate, and that your institution actively participates in keeping them safe.
Feature 02
A detailed report of every scam attempt impersonating your brand detected in the Verifyd platform in the past 30 days: sender patterns, lookalike domains, channel breakdown, and verdict distributions. Report depth builds as platform usage grows.
Feature 03
When patterns emerge in the Verifyd scam database that match your brand (lookalike domains, spoofed numbers, familiar urgency language), we notify you. The earlier you know, the sooner you can warn your customers and brief your support team.
Feature 04
Monthly export of impersonation attempt data from the Verifyd platform, formatted for your fraud team's own analysis. Includes sender identifiers used in impersonation attempts, lookalike domain registrations, channel breakdown, and verdict distributions. Export data builds as platform usage grows.
Feature 05
Every Verifyd Business partner is onboarded through a direct conversation with the Verifyd team. We work with you to capture and verify every sender identifier before your profile goes live: phone numbers, SMS sender IDs, email domains, and URLs sourced from your official channels.
Contact us to get started. All onboarding is handled directly with the Verifyd team.
Verifyd Business is built for any South African institution whose name
appears in messages consumers receive asking them to pay or share personal
information. That means courier companies handling cross-border parcels,
banks whose alert messages have been mimicked by fraudsters, government
agencies whose authority is exploited to manufacture urgency, and student
funding bodies whose communications are impersonated at the most vulnerable
points in the academic calendar.
But the problem is not limited to these categories. Any organisation that
communicates with customers about payments, accounts, deliveries, or personal
details is a potential impersonation target. If your brand is being used to
deceive the people who trust it, Verifyd Business is for you.

All onboarding is handled directly with the Verifyd team, with no self-serve
signup. API integration and licensing are available separately. Contact
us for details.
01 How are sender identifiers verified? All whitelist entries are sourced exclusively from official institution channels: official websites, press releases, and verified contact pages. We do not accept self-reported data without corroboration. Our team conducts an onboarding sprint with every new partner to capture and verify every identifier before it goes live.
02 What happens when a consumer checks a message that isn't from us? If the message doesn't match your verified sender profile, the consumer receives a standard Verifyd verdict based on public signals: URL analysis, phone validation, content classification. Your Verified Institution badge only appears on genuine matches. There is no false association between your brand and unverified messages.
03 Is this available for government institutions like SARS and SASSA? Yes. Verifyd Business covers all five institution categories: courier companies, banks, SARS, SASSA, and NSFAS. Government institution onboarding may involve a different internal procurement process, but the product is identical across all categories.
04 What does the onboarding process involve? Every Verifyd Business partner is onboarded through a direct conversation with our team. We work with you to identify and verify every sender identifier your institution uses (phone numbers, SMS sender IDs, email domains, and payment URLs), sourcing each one from your official channels. Once verified, your profile goes live and consumer checks begin matching against it immediately.
05 When will a self-serve portal be available? Self-serve onboarding is on our roadmap. At this stage all partners are onboarded through a direct conversation with the Verifyd team. This ensures every identifier is properly verified before going live. We will communicate self-serve availability to partners directly.
06 What data is included in the monthly export? The monthly export includes sender identifiers detected in scam attempts impersonating your institution, lookalike domains registered in the period, channel breakdown showing which channels were used in the impersonation attempts, and verdict distribution data. Export depth builds as the Verifyd platform grows. Pilot partners will see this develop over time.
