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.

Chip-readable documents from Nigeria: Passport.

Business verification

Look up a company on the official register in Nigeria and get its registration details, status and the people behind it. Directors and owners can each be sent their own verification link.

Extra one-off checks available here: company and tax ID, TIN, and tax ID.

One platform

The same account, API and dashboard cover every step, from the first check to the ongoing work of compliance.

Identity Verification

Verify a person from their ID, a live selfie and, in five African markets, the government record. One SDK, one signed result.

Business Verification

Verify a company end to end: the registry record, its documents, and the owners and representatives behind it.

Address Intelligence

Capture a GPS-pinned address, corroborate it on arrival, and confirm residence with presence verification, re-confirmed on a schedule.

Face Search

Search every new selfie against the people you have already verified and your own face blocklist, then approve, review or decline by rule.

Compliance

Financial businesses in Nigeria answer to: Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Nigerian Financial Intelligence Unit (NFIU), and Nigeria Data Protection Commission (NDPC).

1

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.

2

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.

3

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.

4

Protect personal data

Each check records the consent given. You choose which fields are returned to you and how long documents are kept.
