  • Liabilities: Liabilities are things that a business or owner owed to a non-owner (debt and business obligations).

  • Equity: Equity represents the value of the owner’s investment, including assets and liabilities. Equity accounts differ based on the type of company.

  • Revenues: Revenues represent the value of the goods or services provided.

  • Expenses: Expenses are the cost to the company that reflect the outflow of money.

Can a user create more than one account across different fintechs using the same phone number & Officially Valid Document (OVD)?

Yes. However, in case of different phone number or OVD number, the following usecases are possible:

Use-Case 1: A user uses the same phone number but 2 different OVD numbers to create 2 accounts in 2 different fintechs. In this case, the entry for that particular account holder will be expanded in the system by adding both the provided OVD numbers.

Use-Case 2: A user uses the same OVD number but 2 different phone numbers to try to create accounts in 2 different fintechs. In such a case, since suspicion over the authenticity of the user arises, an error message will be sent out to the user asking for a different phone number. If the user does not provide a different phone number, then an offline process involving the Ops team verifying the phone and OVD numbers will take place.
