Today, we pull back the curtain on how we at Omits are building that journey to be one of the most secure and trustworthy you can take.

For us, security is not a feature. It is the foundation. We spent months thinking through, strategizing, and putting together an operational framework that keeps your money safe. As we began to build the product, we started to fit in the pieces of that core puzzle. Here’s how we’re doing it.

1. Identity Verification: It’s You, at Every Step

The first gatekeeper of your security is knowing it’s really you. Our KYC (Know Your Customer) process is more than just a compliance hurdle; it’s our first handshake of trust. We’ve partnered with a leading global provider to implement a seamless yet rigorous check. This includes document verification, facial liveness detection, and data cross-referencing. It may seem like another app sign-up, but this structured process ensures that you are you, creating a secure starting point for everything that follows.

2. The Guardians: Our Compliance & Banking Partnerships

Your funds are only as safe as the institutions that hold them. We’ve partnered with licensed banking partners in Canada and Nigeria (with more corridors to come) who share our unwavering commitment to security and regulatory standards. These partnerships mean your money is handled within robust, audited financial systems from the moment it leaves your account until it reaches its destination. We don’t cut corners here.

3. Vigilant Eyes: Our Real-Time Transaction Monitoring

Your funds are only as safe as the institutions that hold them. We’ve partnered with licensed banking partners in Canada and Nigeria (with more corridors to come) who share our unwavering commitment to security and regulatory standards. These partnerships mean your money is handled within robust, audited financial systems from the moment it leaves your account until it reaches its destination. We don’t cut corners here.

4. The Rulebook: Building for Global Compliance

Security must be by the book; the rulebook of every country we operate in. Our frameworks are built in alignment with FINTRAC in Canada and the NDPR in Nigeria from day one. We are committed to data protection, ensuring your personal information is handled with the utmost care. For us, compliance isn’t just about avoiding fines; it’s the tangible proof of our promise to put customers first. Your trust is our currency, and we protect it fiercely.

Why This All Matters to You

This behind-the-scenes work means that when you finally use the Omits app, you’re not just getting a sleek interface. You’re getting the result of hundreds of hours spent designing a system where security, transparency, and reliability are built in. We are building gradually to get this right because your safety is non-negotiable.

We are putting the final touches on everything to ensure a great, secure, and seamless experience at launch.

Omits is coming to you sooner than you think. Stay tuned!
