What Hami System Sharif does

Hami System Sharif is a Tehran-based, privately held software services company founded in 2000 (as a working group within Sharif University of Technology's Advanced ICT Research Institute) and registered as a private joint stock company in 2009-2010. The company operates across five distinct service lines: large-scale custom software development (government portals, mobile applications, and enterprise systems), Internet Payment Gateway (IPG) services, non-face-to-face e-KYC identity verification (authorized by the Judiciary of Iran), digital certificate issuance (CSR), and inquiry web services connecting to Iran's National Information Exchange Center (NIX) and other national databases (Shahkar, SAMAN HODA, Sabt Ahval, Iran Post).

Its core technology stack is API-first and built on agile software development methodology, with image processing techniques underpinning the e-KYC workflow. Productized APIs include endpoints such as the Shahkar national ID/mobile lookup service. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is quote-based under multi-year enterprise contracts, with dedicated technical representatives assigned post-signature. Revenue mechanics span one-time project licenses, transaction fees (payment gateway, e-KYC, CSR), and usage-based inquiry fees.

Hami System Sharif primarily serves government agencies, financial institutions (including the Securities and Exchange Organization and Central Securities Depository), and large enterprises, with MCI/Hamkaran System as a decade-long anchor telecom client. Its stated forward strategy is to expand into B2C and B2B2C applications, targeting more than 5 million users by 1405 (2027), and to deliver AI-enabled next-generation banking services. The company employs 51-100 staff and is headquartered in Tehran.
