On-premise deployment

For institutions with data residency requirements. Betaglia infrastructure deploys within institution-controlled environments under a managed operations model.

Evaluate the platform

Platform evaluations are conducted under NDA with a Betaglia infrastructure engineer and a solutions architect.

Solutions

Infrastructure that supports the full regulatory surface

Deployed configurations for specific institution types and regulatory environments.

Commercial bank deployment

Betaglia integrates with existing core banking systems to provide identity resolution and verification without requiring account number changes or customer re-enrollment.

Betaglia Resolve maintains a continuously updated mapping between aliases (phone numbers, PayTags, national IDs) and verified account identifiers. Resolution occurs before transaction initiation, not during settlement.

Betaglia Trust Engine evaluates transaction risk using behavioral signals, identity confidence scores from Resolve, and velocity rules. Returns a structured risk object with explainable factors that integrate with existing fraud review queues.

Betaglia Audit captures every identity decision, consent event, and routing outcome in an immutable, tamper-evident log. Export interfaces for CBN, NDIC, and custom regulatory reporting are included in the standard deployment.

Payment network deployment

Betaglia integrates with switching infrastructure to provide identity resolution at the point of transaction initiation, before settlement routing.

Interoperability layer

Resolve identities across institution boundaries without requiring bilateral agreements between each institution pair.

Rail-agnostic routing

Route transactions across NIBSS NIP, USSD, mobile money, and real-time gross settlement systems based on identity resolution outcomes.

ISO 20022 alignment

Identity objects are structured to align with ISO 20022 message formats, supporting migration paths and cross-border payment schemes.

Mobile money operator deployment

Identity verification and alias resolution for agent-assisted and self-service mobile money environments operating at population scale.

Betaglia Verify supports agent-initiated identity verification workflows, including document capture, liveness checks, and BVN/NIN cross-referencing, within a constrained mobile network environment.

Identity model

Betaglia separates identity from account. A single verified identity may be associated with multiple accounts across multiple institutions. Aliases resolve to the identity layer, not directly to accounts.

This architecture enables cross-institution resolution without requiring institutions to share account data. The institution of the receiving account receives only an encrypted account reference after identity confirmation.

Identity object schema
{ "identity_id": "idn_...", "verified_at": "ISO8601", "confidence_score": 0.998, "aliases": [ { "type": "paytag", "value": "@temizee" }, { "type": "phone", "value": "enc_..." } ], "account_refs": [ { "institution": "inst_...", "ref": "acct_enc_..." } ], "consent_refs": ["cns_..."] }

Security architecture

Security is implemented at every layer of the stack, not as a perimeter control.

Encryption at rest

All identity data encrypted using AES-256. Encryption keys managed via HSM, rotated quarterly. PII fields use field-level encryption with institution-scoped keys.

Encryption in transit

TLS 1.3 minimum for all API communication. mTLS enforced for institution-to-infrastructure connections. Certificate pinning recommended for SDK deployments.

Zero-trust access

No implicit trust between internal services. All service-to-service communication authenticated and authorized against a centralized policy engine.

Audit integrity

Audit log entries are cryptographically chained. Any modification to a historical record invalidates the chain, detectable at the next verification interval.

Performance

Performance targets are commitments, not aspirations. They are measured across all production traffic and reflected in the service agreement.

Data residency

Betaglia supports institution-controlled data residency for institutions with regulatory requirements restricting cross-border data transfer.

Deployment options
Cloud-hosted
Betaglia-managed infrastructure within in-country cloud regions. Data does not cross national borders.
Private cloud
Deployment within institution-controlled cloud environment. Betaglia provides managed operations under a support agreement.
On-premise
Full deployment within institution data centre. Requires a dedicated infrastructure agreement.

Reliability

The platform is designed for regulated financial environments, where downtime has direct operational and compliance consequences.

Multi-region active-active

All production services operate across multiple availability zones simultaneously. No single-region dependency for any resolution or verification flow.

Graceful degradation

Under partial failure, services enter defined degraded modes rather than failing open or closed. Degradation state is surfaced to the institution in real time.

Compliance

Betaglia operates under a formal compliance program aligned with the regulatory requirements of the financial institutions it serves.

Company

Infrastructure built for the long term

Betaglia builds identity infrastructure for regulated financial systems. The company spent years operating infrastructure before entering the public market. That period produced the architecture, data model, and operational practices that now support institutional clients.

Financial infrastructure earns its standing through performance and availability, not through marketing. Betaglia's design principle is that the infrastructure should be indistinguishable from the institution's own systems, composable with existing core banking, payment switching, and compliance infrastructure without requiring replacement of it.

Betaglia Identity Infrastructure is currently deployed across Nigeria, powering the identity layer for FLEX, a live payment network with active users, and extending into the FLEX partner ecosystem including eDryv, where IDaaS serves as the underlying verification and routing infrastructure. Geographic expansion follows regulatory readiness, not market opportunity.

Operating principles
Infrastructure, not product

Betaglia does not compete with the institutions it serves. The company builds what institutions need to function, not what institutions sell.

Regulatory trust by design

Every system is built assuming regulatory examination. Audit completeness and data integrity are not features; they are requirements.

Quiet confidence

Infrastructure earns trust through performance and availability, not through marketing. Betaglia does not publish case studies. Institutions evaluate the system.

Engagement

Betaglia does not maintain an inbound sales process. Infrastructure engagements begin with a structured briefing conducted by the infrastructure team.
