As digital payment activity increases, the risk of fraud also rises, including fake identities, mule accounts and fraudulent business registrations.<\/p>\n<p>By embedding RelyComply\u2019s AI verification tools into its onboarding process, Ozow aims to detect high-risk profiles earlier and support a safer payment network.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOnboarding is where trust begins. As payment systems grow, that trust needs to scale too,\u201d said Bradley Elliott, CEO of RelyComply. \u201cOur partnership with Ozow reflects a shared belief that secure growth starts with smarter AML compliance.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ozow said the partnership aligns with its goal of making digital payments simple, safe and accessible for more South Africans, while strengthening confidence for both merchants and consumers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re excited to partner with RelyComply to enhance the safety and reliability of our merchant onboarding process,\u201d said Rachel Cowan, interim CEO of Ozow. \u201cAs we grow, we remain focused on helping people and businesses transact with confidence.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n<script data-jetpack-boost=\"ignore\" async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-1669381584671856\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- Africa tv video display -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1669381584671856\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"3579572842\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script data-jetpack-boost=\"ignore\">\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n#RelyComply #Partners #Ozow #Strengthen #Merchant #Onboarding #Fraud #Checks<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RelyComply has partnered with Ozow, a South African payments company, to simplify and secure the onboarding process for merchants, enabling&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":48199,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32,11],"tags":[9576,104,9574,9575,9573,4838,9572,5856],"class_list":["post-48198","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mzansi","category-world","tag-checks","tag-fraud","tag-merchant","tag-onboarding","tag-ozow","tag-partners","tag-relycomply","tag-strengthen"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/48198","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=48198"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/48198\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":48200,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/48198\/revisions\/48200"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/48199"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=48198"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=48198"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=48198"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
