DRC Congo gives Singapore firm exclusive rights to roll out digital ID system

2025-08-01  Ian Fleming

The DRCPass is designed to make it easier for Congolese citizens to use government service platforms by enabling access to multiple portals through a single digital identity. It will also be used to register SIM cards, linking each number to a verified identity using biometric and blockchain technology. In financial services, it is expected to facilitate digital payments through instant identity verification and enable automated credit risk assessments, thereby allowing users to access credit more quickly. As a result, more Congolese are expected to enter the formal banking system without relying on traditional, branch-based infrastructure. The new system is expected to be rolled out in phases, supported by a public education campaign to raise awareness and encourage adoption.
