NFC chip verification
Our iOS and Android SDKs read the chip inside the document over NFC. The chip's data is signed by the issuing country, and we check that signature on our servers, so a forged or altered document is caught even when the photo page looks right. The chip's portrait can also be matched to a live selfie.

Compliance
Financial businesses in Côte d’Ivoire answer to: BCEAO and CENTIF.
Know your customer
Verify identity before an account is used, keep the evidence, and apply more checks where the risk is higher. Workflows let you choose which IDs you accept and what happens on a mismatch or an expired document.
Screen and keep watching
Screen customers against sanctions, politically exposed person and adverse media lists, re-screen them on a schedule, and score transactions and account activity as they happen.
Investigate and report
Alerts roll up into cases with an audit trail, and suspicious activity reports can be drafted from a case and reviewed by a second person before filing.
Protect personal data
Each check records the consent given. You choose which fields are returned to you and how long documents are kept.
