Real Stories From Beta Explorers
How verified travel matchmaking turned single journeys into lasting bonds.
“I use Ineship both to date and to offer private airport transfers and guided photography tours with my SUV. Being able to set my own rates and have payments safely held in escrow changed the game for me!”
David O.
Host & Safari Photographer • Nairobi, Kenya
“As a solo female traveler visiting Lamu Island, having mandatory biometric verification meant I knew exactly who I was meeting for sunset dhow cruises. Zero awkwardness, 100% peace of mind.”
Elena R.
Digital Nomad • Barcelona, Spain
“I registered as a travel companion charging KES 3,500/day. I met a visitor heading to Samburu for 4 days; we planned the route together, and OgottoPay held the companion fee until we returned. Smooth and safe!”

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Ineship only for people who are traveling?
No! Ineship connects both locals and travelers. Local singles use it for verified dating. Local hosts use it to offer services like taxi rides, guest rooms, or guided excursions with custom rates. And locals can register as paid travel companions to accompany visitors or explore together.
Can I be into dating, act as a travel companion, and offer host services at the same time?
Yes! Ineship is built with a unified multi-role profile. You do not need multiple accounts. You can date while also accepting paid travel companionship bookings and listing host services like taxi transport or room stays with your custom declared fees.
What does the travel companion fee cover, and who pays for meals, transport, and hotels?
The companion rate declared on the app (e.g. KES 3,500/day) covers the companion's time, presence, and local guidance, held safely in OgottoPay escrow. Trip expenses (such as meals, local transport/fuel, and venue/park entry tickets) are paid by the traveler booking them. For overnight trips, the traveler must also provide or cover separate private accommodation for the companion.
How does ineship verify users and prevent catfishing?
Every user on ineship signs in with utambuliSSO and completes in-app biometric KYC verification directly on Ineship. This involves uploading a legitimate government passport or national ID card alongside a real-time 3D facial liveness scan. Profiles without verified KYC cannot message, list services, or book companions.
How does financial escrow work for bookings and companion fees?
When booking a companion or hiring a local host (for taxi, rooms, or tours), funds are deposited into an audited OgottoPay escrow account. Money is never disbursed upfront to private individuals; it is released only after both parties confirm milestone completion.
