Identity Verification Built for South Africa

Full KYC, biometric liveness, AML screening, and registry cross-checks — in one session, compliant with South Africa's regulatory framework.

Verification Flow

Four-Module Verification

Every session in South Africa runs through the same proven four-module flow — from document capture to AML screening — in under two seconds.

MODULE 01
ID Capture & Read
Optical capture and chip reading of accepted South Africa identity documents. OCR parsing returns structured data: name, ID number, date of birth, and expiry. Template-level fraud signals applied.
MODULE 02
Biometric Verification
Passive liveness (iBeta Level 1 PAD) confirms the user is present and not a deepfake, mask, or photo. 1:1 face match against the document portrait. 1:N duplicate check across enrolled users.
MODULE 03
AML Screening
Name and biographical data screened against 10,000+ global AML datasets including OFAC, UN, EU consolidated list, and South Africa-specific watchlists, PEP registers, and adverse-media sources.
MODULE 04
Registry Cross-Check
Identity data anchored against South Africa government and commercial registries. Detects discrepancies between submitted data and authoritative records. Ongoing monitoring available.
