Tramatch International Ltd, a faith-based dating platform, has taken a significant step in the fight against online dating fraud. Enhanced security measures have been implemented to protect its users.
The platform’s co-founder, Elijah Bassey, announced this during a webinar on Wednesday.
Bassey emphasized that dating fraud remains a significant challenge in the online dating ecosystem.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Tramatch was created for people seeking a serious, long-term relationship.
NAN also reports that Tramatch continues to employ advanced security measures, artificial intelligence-powered fraud detection, and a commitment to shared values.
This change comes as scammers are increasingly using stolen images to create fake profiles.
Bassey said the team has implemented a mandatory identity verification process.
“Each user must upload a profile photo and pass a liveness test using their device’s camera.”
We differentiate ourselves from the competition. We have enhanced security by ensuring that uploaded images match the user’s true identity. We are committed to providing a secure platform.
“Our advanced security measures detect and prevent fraudulent activity, allowing users to focus on finding fulfilling relationships,” she stated.
Bassey added that Tramatch offers a location-based matching service. This allows users to connect with verified profiles nearby, reducing the risk of remote fraud.
She emphasized that this feature promotes authentic relationships based on shared beliefs and values.
Our platform, with over 200,000 registered users, supports those who prefer traditional marriage structures and seek serious, long-term relationships.
Tramatch’s advanced security measures include Know Your Customer (KYC) verification, AI fraud detection, and location-based matching.
“These measures distinguish Tramatch from other platforms, which are often operated by unverified users.”
By implementing KYC, Tramatch ensures that users are real and verified individuals. This reduces risks such as catfishing, fraud, and identity theft, he stated.
Bassey urged Nigerians to remain vigilant when meeting online and prefer platforms that prioritize safety and transparency.
He added that Tramatch is working with relevant authorities to identify, report, and flag fraudulent activity. This underscores its commitment to user safety.
The global dating market is expected to grow from $11.32 billion in 2025 to $21.71 billion in 2034, and Tramatch will play a significant role in this growth.
“Our goal is to provide a safe platform for people seeking a meaningful relationship,” he said.
Bassey reiterated Tramatch’s commitment to user safety and trust. He highlighted the implementation of enhanced KYC verification and artificial intelligence fraud detection to combat online fraud.
NAN reports that Tramatch is an international platform that supports people who value religious and traditional definitions of marriage, whether monogamous or polygamous.
It welcomes Muslims, Christians, Hindus, Jews, and members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS) who seek strong, lasting relationships based on cultural and religious values.
Founded in 2023, Tramatch believes that traditional marriage structures provide a stable foundation for families, even in today’s ever-changing world.
