Trust passport · Cameroon

Trust, verified.

You work, you get paid, you pay your taxes. But without a payslip, nobody can see it. AfroTrust turns your everyday proof into a passport you show to a lender, a landlord, an employer.

The problem

Millions of reliable people, invisible to the system

Traders, artisans, drivers, farmers, freelancers: the vast majority work outside the circuits that produce a recognised financial history. So a perfectly reliable person is treated as a stranger. They're refused credit, asked for twelve months of deposit, passed over for a job.

Yet the proof exists. It's in mobile money flows, in social contributions, in tax certificates. Nobody had brought it together in the person's own interest.

What we believe

Trust shouldn't depend on a formal employment contract, but on real behaviour: regularity, consistency, meeting your obligations.

How it works

You choose, we verify, you show

Nothing is collected without you. You decide what to put forward and who gets to see it.

1

You choose your proof

Your ID, your mobile money statement, your tax compliance certificate, your CNPS certificate if you have one.

2

We verify each item

Document authenticity, matching names, regularity of income. Every fact on the passport says how it was verified.

3

You present your passport

A link or QR code the landlord, lender or employer scans to see exactly what you chose to share.

The passport

Verified facts, not a mystery number

Each line says what was verified, when, and how. Whoever reads the passport sees exactly what you see.

Identity

You are who you say you are

ID document checked, liveness selfie, name and date of birth matched across every document.

Mobile Money

Your activity is regular

Authenticated MTN MoMo or Orange Money statement. The passport shows a regularity level and the depth of your history, never your amounts. An income band can be shared with a lender, only if you decide to.

Tax

You're in good standing with the tax office

Tax compliance certificate checked directly with the DGI by its reference number, with its expiry date.

CNPS

You're preparing your retirement

Authenticated voluntary-insurance certificate. Rare in the informal sector, so a strong signal of seriousness.

The trust score

A score out of 100 that explains itself, point by point

The score is a sum, not an opaque algorithm: every point comes from a document you provided. The level is the quick read, and the passport says what's missing to reach the next one.

LEVEL 1 · 20–39Identified

Identity verified.

The person is who they say they are.

LEVEL 2 · 40–59Active

+ authenticated mobile money account, at least 3 months of activity.

Real, traceable economic activity.

LEVEL 3 · 60–79Established

+ high regularity over 6 months, or a valid tax compliance certificate.

Reliable for a lease, supplier credit, a job.

LEVEL 4 · 80–100Confirmed

Identity, 12 months of regular activity and tax compliance. CNPS as a bonus.

The strongest profile: larger credit, long-term commitments.

20 pts

Identity

Verified ID and matching documents.

40 pts

Mobile money activity

Depth of history, regularity of inflows, diversity of payers. Never the amounts.

25 pts

Tax compliance

Valid tax compliance certificate, checked with the DGI.

15 pts

CNPS

Up-to-date voluntary social insurance contributions.

The score is recalculated on every update and goes down if a certificate expires or activity stops. It's only worth anything if it's current.

Who it's for

For anyone who has to trust someone they don't know

Lenders and microfinance

Assess a borrower without a banking history, cut the risk and the cost of processing a file.

Landlords

Rent to a reliable tenant without demanding twelve months of deposit. Check with one scan.

Employers

An objective reference on a candidate from the informal sector, with their consent.

Suppliers and wholesalers

Extend supplier credit to a retailer whose takings are regular.

Savings groups and associations

Admit new members without relying only on word of mouth.

Diaspora

Assess from abroad a tenant, a partner or a relative you're entrusting with money back home.

Our principles

Your data belongs to you

Consent first

Nothing is collected or shared without your explicit decision. Your amounts stay confidential. You can remove a document or delete your passport at any time.

Reward, don't punish

The passport highlights what you do well. There is no blacklist, no rating that follows you against your will.

Lawful by design

Built to comply with Cameroon's Law No. 2024/017 on personal data protection.

Institutions and partners

A virtuous circle

As soon as good behaviour becomes a visible asset, more people adopt it. Contributing, declaring, paying by mobile money: everyone wins.

CNPS

More voluntary contributors

Being up to date on contributions becomes a concrete argument for a loan or a lease.

Tax office

Compliance becomes an advantage

The tax compliance certificate gains a value recognised beyond the administration.

Mobile Money

Less cash, more regularity

Every digital transaction becomes a building block of the customer's financial reputation.

Lenders

Pre-verified files

A qualified informal-sector clientele, with proof authenticated before the first meeting.
