JOHANNESBURG - Californer -- VerifyNow Launches Groundbreaking FICA Compliance Platform for South African Businesses
VerifyNow.co.za, a proudly South African company, today announced the launch of its innovative all-in-one dashboard platform that offers FICA compliance tools and instant Know Your Customer (KYC) verification at the click of a button. Designed to cater to businesses of all sizes, the platform aims to simplify compliance processes and protect companies against the rising tide of identity fraud and non-compliance penalties.
According to recent studies, South Africa faces a significant challenge with identity fraud, costing businesses millions of rand each year. Non-compliance with the Financial Intelligence Centre Act (FICA) not only exposes companies to hefty fines but also tarnishes their reputations. VerifyNow addresses these critical issues by providing an easy-to-use platform that streamlines compliance and verification processes.
"Our mission is to empower South African businesses to navigate the complexities of FICA compliance effortlessly," said Ru Foster, CEO of VerifyNow. "We understand the risks that identity fraud and non-compliance pose to companies. Our platform offers a simple, efficient solution that can be tailored to the needs of any business, whether small or large."

Why FICA Compliance Matters
Non-compliance with FICA regulations can result in fines up to R100 million or imprisonment for up to 15 years.
