FireID (Pty

FireID was established in 2011, when the founders acquired FireID (Pty) Ltd, a mobile security pioneer. This security business, subsequently spun off as FireID Security, became one of the first incubation projects under FireID. In the subsequent years, FireID has expanded into numerous sectors, spanning mobile security, low-cost banking, market research, mobile payments, digital currencies, gesture interaction and mobile field service. Our team has grown from an initial group of five to thirty-two. During this time we have remained focused on delivering innovative technology to the market. FireID has been debt free and profitable since its inception in 2011. We follow a strategy of sustainable, organic growth - avoiding debt or equity financing as a growth mechanism. When faced with a choice to acquire new skills, we prefer to grow skills in-house whenever possible and encourage our people to pursue learning in multiple areas of expertise. This approach has allowed us to contribute to diverse domains in a relatively short period of time.
