Announcing the Change of Name from BankID to pasby™

We were still regarded as representing the infancy of mankind. Our highly sophisticated culture was said to be simple and paralysed by inertia, and we had to be burdened with tutelage. - Kwame Nkrumah

Africa has come a long way since the scramble for independence and recognition of self-worth. Everything we need to work for ourselves is nothing more than a stone's throw away. In this ever-growing digital age of experimentation, we must look inwards for our digital solutions. Digital sovereignty is now a thing - so is Surveillance Capitalism.

Africa needs specific tools to protect industries and personnel at home. This is why we exist. - Finsel DGI Founder, C. Jackmay

Overview

We are excited to announce a significant change in our product's identity. As of today, our product name will transition from BankID to pasby™. This change was driven by our vision of creating a barrier-free digital Pan-Africa where innovation takes centre stage.

The decision to rebrand to pasby™ reflects our commitment to fostering a more inclusive and accessible digital landscape across the African continent. We aim to provide a platform that caters to the unique needs and aspirations of the African people, helping them overcome challenges and pursue their dreams.

With this strategic rebranding, Finsel DGI is set to revolutionise how Africans interact with digital services. pasby™ will serve as the foundation for a range of innovative products and solutions that address Africans' specific struggles and aspirations.

This change will allow us to better align our brand with the diverse African market and its growing digital ecosystem. By adopting the pasby™ name, we are embracing a Pan-African identity that resonates with our target audience and showcases our commitment to their success.

With the new name, pasby™, we will continue to provide the same secure and reliable single sign-on experience with seamless digital identification services we were founded to achieve. All existing users of the alpha product can rest assured that the transition will not impact their user experience or access to our services. All existing BankID-linked credentials will seamlessly carry over to the pasby™ brand.

Today - Nigeria is at the forefront. We begin with the digital sovereignty of the largest market in Africa.
