2025
Introduction
SourceID is an AI-powered identity and address verification platform designed to simplify Know Your Customer (KYC) processes for businesses in Nigeria and Ghana. The platform helps organizations verify customer information, streamline onboarding, and support more reliable identity checks.
Problem statement
Traditional identity verification processes can be time-consuming, fragmented, and difficult to manage at scale. Businesses need reliable ways to validate customer information, reduce manual work, and meet compliance requirements without creating unnecessary friction for users.
The challenge: How might we simplify identity and address verification while helping businesses manage KYC processes more efficiently and confidently?
Target audience
Financial institutions and fintech companies: Businesses that need to verify customer identities and meet KYC requirements.
Businesses and service providers: Organizations that require reliable identity and address verification during customer onboarding.
Operations and compliance teams: Teams responsible for reviewing verification results, managing requests, and maintaining compliance processes.
The solution
I worked on designing a digital verification experience that makes identity checks easier to initiate, review, and manage. The platform brings verification workflows and customer information into a more organized interface, helping businesses navigate KYC operations with greater clarity.
KYC Identity Verification & Address Verification
Instead of treating approvals as isolated actions, I built a connected workflow system that brought requests, budgets, policies, and reporting into a single experience. The goal was to help finance teams understand what needed attention, track cross-department progress, and make decisions with greater confidence.
The final solution introduced dedicated approval workflows, budget governance tools, approval rules, activity history, and operational insights designed specifically for growing organizations.
KYB Verification Dashboard
This project highlighted the difference between designing for individuals and designing for organizations. While expense tracking focuses on visibility, financial operations depend on coordination between people, teams, and processes.
The most impactful improvements came from making responsibilities, approval states, and next steps visible throughout the workflow. By reducing ambiguity and creating clearer pathways through the system, the experience became easier to navigate while supporting significantly more complex organizational needs.
This feels much closer to the style and depth of your Polaris case study while still being noticeably shorter.
