Prembly, a compliance and security infrastructure company in Africa announced its acquisition of Tunnel, a company that facilitates legitimate data sharing among businesses on Monday.
According to the company, the acquisition enhances Prembly’s suite of security solutions and expands its financial services capabilities, providing reliable identity verification through the integration of comprehensive financial data.
It described Tunnel as a trusted partner in the credit and identity industry by connecting lenders to high-quality data and sustainable technology. Its pioneering fintech product, PhoneCash, also helps customers send money as quickly as possible.
The integration of Tunnel’s services provides businesses with a powerful tool to scale, enabling access to real-time customer information from multiple sources through a single Application Programming Interface (API.).
