Trust Stamp announces an exclusive Memorandum of Understanding with the Ghana National Identity Agency
Trust Stamp (NASDAQ:IDAI) has signed an exclusive Memorandum of Understanding with the Ghana National Identity Agency (NIA) to provide identity tokenization services. The agreement includes a two-year exclusivity period with potential extension, establishing a Joint Working Team to develop a comprehensive long-term contract based on revenue sharing.
The partnership will support NIA's management of Ghana's National Identity Register, which serves as the centralized database for citizen and resident identification, powering the Ghana Card system. This biometric national ID is essential for banking, SIM registration, regional travel, and public services.
With Ghana's population of 35 million and its position within the African Continental Free Trade Area (GDP of $3.4 trillion), the digital identity implementation could significantly impact economic growth, as countries adopting such systems could achieve 3-13% GDP growth by 2030 according to UNECA.

Insights
Trust Stamp secures exclusive MOU with Ghana's National Identity Agency, positioning for significant revenue opportunities in Africa's digital identity ecosystem.
Trust Stamp's exclusive Memorandum of Understanding with Ghana's National Identity Agency represents a strategic market entry into Africa's evolving digital identity landscape. This partnership positions Trust Stamp to provide identity tokenization services not just for NIA but across numerous government ministries and private sector entities in Ghana.
The agreement includes two key commercial elements: a two-year exclusivity period (extendable by mutual agreement) and a revenue-sharing arrangement for digital identity implementations. This structure provides Trust Stamp with protected market access while aligning incentives with Ghana's national identity infrastructure.
Ghana represents a compelling market opportunity with its population of nearly 35 million, youthful demographics (over half under 25), and the Ghana Card's established role as the primary identification method across banking, telecommunications, travel, and public services. The partnership leverages NIA's position as the centralized identity authority maintaining the National Identity Register.
This deal's significance extends beyond Ghana, potentially serving as a gateway to the broader African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) - a 54-nation market with 1.47 billion people and approximately $3.4 trillion combined GDP. The United Nations Economic Commission for Africa suggests countries adopting digital ID systems could unlock 3-13% GDP growth by 2030, creating substantial expansion opportunities if Trust Stamp can establish itself as a trusted provider in this emerging ecosystem.
While the announcement represents potential rather than immediate revenue, securing exclusive positioning with a national identity agency demonstrates Trust Stamp's competitive credibility in government-scale identity solutions and provides a foothold in Africa's rapidly developing digital economy.
Trust Stamp announced that it has entered into an exclusive Memorandum of Understanding with the Ghana National Identity Agency (“NIA”) to provide tokenized identity services for the Agency and for the various Ghana ministries and enterprises that are served by it
Atlanta, GA, Sept. 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Trust Stamp (Nasdaq: IDAI) announced that it has entered into an exclusive Memorandum of Understanding (“the Memorandum”) with the National Identity Agency of the Republic of Ghana (“NIA”) to provide identity tokenization for the use of NIA and the numerous government ministries and agencies that it serves, together with private sector clients. Under the Memorandum, a Joint Working Team will develop a comprehensive long-term contract for Trust Stamp to provide digital identity implementations and identity tokenization services based on revenue sharing arrangements.
The Memorandum provides for an initial two year exclusivity period that can be extended by mutual agreement.
NIA maintains a centralized database of all citizens and eligible residents and collects and manages biographic and biometric data in a National Identity Register (“NIR”). The NIR is linked with the databases of other state institutions and ensures a “single source of truth” for identity across the public and private sectors.
Based on that data, NIA issues the Ghana Card, a biometric national ID that serves as the primary form of identification in Ghana and is used for banking, SIM registration, travel within ECOWAS, public services, and more. NIA also provides identity verification for government agencies, banks, telecoms, and private businesses to reduce fraud and impersonation across financial and social systems, is the regulator with respect to identity data and sets rules for the use, protection, and storage of such data.
Gareth N. Genner, Group CEO of Trust Stamp, commented, “NIA is the foundation of Ghana’s digital economy and governance infrastructure. NIA’s work impacts everything from elections to mobile money to cross-border trade, and it is a privilege to work with the dynamic and farsighted NIA team. From the Executive Secretary down, the NIA team understands the importance of their work to every area of Ghana’s society, and they have developed a compelling vision based upon the adoption of privacy-protecting, tokenized digital identity, building upon the successful implementation of the Ghana Card.”
Genner further commented, “Africa stands at the brink of a digital and economic revolution. With the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA), 54 nations representing 1.47 billion people being unified into the world’s largest free trade area, with a combined GDP of approximately
Establishing a tokenized digital infrastructure for recording births, marriages, deaths, and asserting electronic identity will not only empower citizens but also unlock immense economic value. According to the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (UNECA), countries adopting digital ID systems could unlock between
Ghana has a vibrant population nearing 35 million people with more than half under 25 years of age, and a fast-growing economy with a commodity-rich export base in gold, cocoa, and oil. A digital identity program based on the Ghana Card has the potential to further accelerate economic growth and position Ghana to maximize the many opportunities for cross-border commerce that are offered by AfCFTA.”
