COURE

What COURE does

COURE Technologies Inc. is a private platform services provider incorporated in the United States in 1998 and operationally headquartered at Plot 5a, Block 10A, Admiralty Way, Lekki Phase 1, Lagos, Nigeria. The company offers a single integrated platform called ANQ (All Number Query) that delivers real-time data insights for intelligence, security, and compliance. Its underlying technology aggregates African telecom operator signals — MNP, DND, active status, SIM Swap, roaming, and IR.21 data — and exposes them through four product modules: Routing Solutions, KYC Services, Fraud Prevention, and an API Marketplace. A single API is designed to allow enterprise clients to go live in a few days.

COURE serves enterprise customers in three verticals: Financial Services (banks, fintechs), Telecommunications (mobile network operators), and Insurance. Named geographic coverage includes South Africa, Nigeria, Ghana, Tunisia, Morocco, Côte d'Ivoire, Kenya, and Senegal, with stated reach across all African countries and extensions to other continents. The platform is positioned as compliance-first, explicitly aligned with GDPR, NDPR, and PCI DSS standards, which is a meaningful differentiator for regulated financial-services and insurance procurement. The company maintains a formal GSMA partnership and an integration ecosystem that spans the major African mobile operators (MTN, Airtel, Glo, 9mobile, Telkom), global messaging and communications platforms (Infobip, Mitto, Cequens, Lleida, Hollatags, Mediafon, Montymobile, Horisen, Payvantage, Connect, Xconnect), and identity and credit data providers (Neustar/TransUnion, Creditregistry, Verifyme).

The business model is API-based recurring revenue: COURE monetizes via subscription and per-query data services delivered through ANQ, with no publicly disclosed pricing tiers. GTM is hybrid — a self-service "Get Started" portal at stganq.coure-tech.com coexists with a sales-led "Request Demo" motion targeting enterprise buyers. Marketing relies on the corporate website, organic social on Facebook, Instagram, X, and LinkedIn, and email newsletter capture. Notably, no funding rounds, institutional investors, parent entity, customer logos, named leadership titles, or revenue figures are disclosed in available source material; these are data gaps relevant to any investor-grade assessment of scale and momentum.

• Smile Identity: Pan-African KYC and identity-verification API platform serving banks, fintechs, and telecoms across Nigeria, Kenya, South Africa, and beyond. Direct competitor to COURE's KYC and fraud-prevention modules with a similar API-first GTM and African footprint.
• Telesign: Global digital-identity and communications-API company offering phone-number intelligence, fraud prevention, and verification — the closest international analogue to COURE's number-based routing, KYC, and fraud-prevention stack.

Broad incumbents

• Onfido: Global identity-verification provider offering document, biometric, and fraud-risk checks to regulated enterprises. Comparable on KYC and fraud-prevention modules, but operates at a much larger global scale than COURE.

Emerging players

• Stitch: South African financial-data API offering bank-account aggregation, payments, and identity for African fintechs. Comparable in API-first model and African enterprise customer base, but focused on financial-data rather than telco-number intelligence.
