Trust & safety
Safety isn’t a feature here. It’s the seal.
Every layer of MarmacMart — verification, fraud detection, escrow, and in-person safety — was designed before a single product listing.
Identity verification
Who can sell on MarmacMart
NIN verification
National Identification Number checks confirm every individual seller is a real, traceable person.
BVN verification
Bank Verification Number checks tie a seller’s identity to a legitimate financial history.
CAC verification
Business sellers are checked against Corporate Affairs Commission registration before listing as a business.
Fraud detection
What runs quietly in the background
AI fraud detection
Listings, messages, and account behaviour are continuously screened for patterns associated with scams.
Device fingerprinting
Bad actors banned under one account are flagged if they return under a new one from the same device.
Reverse-image checks
Product photos are checked against known stolen or duplicated images before a listing goes live.
In-person safety
When you meet a buyer or seller
Encrypted chat
Buyer–seller messages are encrypted, keeping negotiation and order details private.
Safe-meeting suggestions
For local pickups, MarmacMart suggests well-lit, public meeting points.
In-app SOS
A one-tap SOS is available during in-person exchanges, built for situations that need urgent attention.
