Coming: BI (Bilhete de Identidade) verification

A Angola-specific identity check against the BI (Bilhete de Identidade) (Ministry of Justice) is planned. Until it launches, you can verify people in Angola with document OCR, liveness and face match, which work with any passport, national ID or driver's licence photo.

Topping up your balance

Card payments in AOA, converted to your naira balance at the rate shown when you pay. Provider availability is set per country, and cards in US dollars are the fallback where a local-currency option is not open yet.

Data protection

Personal data in Angola is governed by the Law 22/11 on data protection. Phone verification stores only a salted hash of each code; check your own obligations as the data controller.
