Identity, Fraud & Compliance Solutions for Enterprises in MEA.
Founded in 2013 and headquartered in Dubai, uqudo is a leading provider of identity verification, fraud prevention, and compliance solutions purpose-built for the Middle East and Africa. With over a decade of regional expertise, uqudo empowers enterprises and governments to bring trust to every digital interaction, from customer onboarding to transaction authorisation.
The company delivers a unified platform covering the full lifecycle of digital trust: KYC, KYB, biometric authentication, device intelligence, transaction monitoring, AML screening, and 1:N face search. Unlike fragmented global vendors, uqudo combines complete coverage with deep MEA specialisation, including Arabic, Kurdish, and Farsi OCR, non-ICAO NFC chip reading for GCC documents, facial recognition trained on regional demographics, and direct integration with 7+ national registries.
Serving 50+ enterprise clients across banking, fintech, telecom, crypto exchanges, marketplaces, and government, uqudo processes 10M+ verifications annually across 14+ countries. Performance benchmarks include sub-30-second onboarding, 95% completion rates, 40-60% higher conversion, 70-85% fraud reduction, and 50-70% lower compliance costs.
Flexibility is core to the offering. Clients can deploy via SaaS, private cloud, or on-premise to meet data residency and sovereignty needs, with implementation timelines of 4 to 12 weeks compared with 6 to 12 months through traditional system integrators.
Led by Founder and CEO Mohamed Fagiri, with offices in Dubai, Riyadh, and Manchester, uqudo stands as the only provider combining a complete platform, MEA-optimised technology, and single-partner accountability.
