About BrimSage
Fintech for compliance and customer engagement
BrimSage is a fintech company based in Maseru, Lesotho. We start with the part of financial services that can't be skipped: knowing who your customer is, so money laundering and terrorist financing are stopped at onboarding.We also build ChatFlare, an AI chatbot for businesses. It takes orders and payments on WhatsApp and answers customers on Facebook and Instagram, all from one inbox.
Why we exist
The gaps we set out to close
Lenders, fintechs, and payment providers must meet anti-money laundering (AML) and counter-terrorist financing (CFT) obligations. Those obligations start with verifying each customer's identity before money moves, and being able to prove later that you did.
Most identity tools are built for other markets. They do well with an international passport but struggle with a local national ID, a patchy connection, or a lender who needs a decision in seconds rather than days. That leaves gaps that criminals can use. We built AttestID, our KYC verification API, to close those gaps.
ChatFlare is our AI-powered chatbot. It takes orders and payments on WhatsApp, and it replies to customers on Facebook Messenger and Instagram too. It answers only questions about your organisation, using your own knowledge base and FAQs, so it stays on topic. When a customer needs a person, ChatFlare hands the conversation to your team. Messages from every platform arrive in one live chat inbox. Our Restaurant POS handles payments at the counter.
What we offer
Our products and services
AML and CFT compliance
Every regulated financial service has to know who its customers are. Know Your Customer (KYC) checks come first in fighting money laundering and terrorist financing, so they are where we start.
Identity you can prove
AttestID checks government-issued IDs, matches a live selfie to the document photo, and keeps the evidence so you can show a regulator or auditor how each customer was verified.
Fraud caught across the network
Each verification is screened against past checks across the platform, so a stolen or reused identity can be flagged even if it was first used at another company.
AI ordering and payments on WhatsApp
ChatFlare is our AI-powered chatbot. Customers browse your catalogue and order products right inside WhatsApp, then pay by bank transfer, M-Pesa, or EcoCash without leaving the chat.
Support across every channel
ChatFlare also answers customer messages on WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, Instagram, and more. It answers only from your own knowledge base and FAQs, so it stays on your business. When a conversation needs a person, it escalates to your team, and every message lands in one ChatFlare live chat inbox.
Payments at the counter
Our Restaurant POS takes mobile money and card payments at the till and reconciles each one against its order.
How we work
What we hold ourselves to
Audit-ready by default
Decisions, evidence, and timestamps are kept for every check, so your compliance team can answer the question "how did you verify this customer?" without digging.
Built for local rails
We build for the IDs, networks, devices, and payment methods our customers actually use, and we design for those limits from day one.
We stay after go-live
Integration help, onboarding, and a real support line are part of the product. A compliance tool that nobody can run doesn't help anyone.
Honest about limits
We tell you what a product does and doesn't do today. KYC is one part of an AML/CFT programme, not the whole of it, and we'll be clear about where we fit.
Need KYC that stands up to an audit?
Whether you're a lender or fintech with AML/CFT obligations, or a developer who wants to build on AttestID, start a conversation.
