Tramatch International Ltd, a faith-based matchmaking platform, has announced new measures to combat online dating scams and protect its users. During a webinar on Wednesday, co-founder Mr. Elijah Bassey shared details about these advanced security features aimed at creating a safer online dating experience.
Bassey emphasized that online dating scams pose a significant challenge in the dating world. With many fraudsters using stolen images to create fake profiles, safeguarding users has become crucial. Tramatch was designed specifically for individuals seeking serious, long-term relationships, and the company is committed to keeping its users safe.
To enhance security, Tramatch has introduced a mandatory identity verification process. Every user must upload a profile picture and complete a liveness test using their device’s camera. This process ensures that the uploaded images match the real identity of the user, which helps significantly in combating online dating scams.

“We stand out from our competition by taking security a step further,” said Bassey. “Our advanced security measures detect and prevent fraudulent activities, allowing users to focus on finding meaningful relationships.”
Additionally, Tramatch has launched location-based matchmaking, enabling users to connect with verified matches nearby. This feature reduces the risks associated with long-distance deception and fosters authentic relationships based on shared faith and values.
With over 200,000 registered users, Tramatch supports individuals who value traditional marriage structures and seek committed, enduring relationships. Bassey outlined several key security measures the platform has implemented, including Know Your Customer (KYC) verification and AI-driven fraud detection.
“These measures set Tramatch apart from other platforms where unverified users can exploit the system,” he stated. By enforcing KYC, Tramatch ensures that users are real, verified individuals, which significantly reduces risks like catfishing, fraud, and identity theft—all common issues in online dating scams.
Bassey urged Nigerians to be cautious when dating online and to choose platforms that prioritize security and transparency. He also mentioned that Tramatch is collaborating with relevant authorities to identify, flag, and report fraudulent activities, further reinforcing its commitment to user safety.
With the global dating market projected to grow from $11.32 billion in 2025 to $21.71 billion by 2034, Tramatch aims to play a significant role in providing a safe environment for individuals seeking meaningful relationships. Bassey reiterated the platform’s commitment to user safety and trust through the ongoing implementation of advanced KYC verification and AI-driven fraud detection to fight against online dating scams.
Founded in 2023, Tramatch International welcomes Muslims, Christians, Hindus, Jews, and LDS members who value traditional marriage definitions, whether monogamous or polygamous. The platform believes that traditional marriage structures can provide stability for families even in today’s rapidly changing world.
