Coming: NINA / CNI verification

A Mali-specific identity check against the NINA / CNI (ANICT) is planned. Until it launches, you can verify people in Mali with document OCR, liveness and face match, which work with any passport, national ID or driver's licence photo.

Phone number format

Topping up your balance

Card payments and mobile money (Orange Money, Moov Money) in XOF, 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 Mali is governed by the Law 2013-015 on personal data. Phone verification stores only a salted hash of each code; check your own obligations as the data controller.
