How identity verification works in Bangladesh.
- Fraud landscape
- Three pressures shape Bangladesh identity fraud: deepfake and synthetic-NID attacks on the wave of Mobile Financial Service (MFS) wallets (bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay) where Bangladesh Bank requires e-KYC for every new account, BFIU Domestic Sanctions screening pressure across scheduled banks and PSPs, and Bangladesh Bank's tightening Customer Due Diligence expectations as the country exits the FATF grey-list scrutiny period. Didit scores 200+ real-time fraud signals on every session, face morph, replay, injection, document tampering, device intelligence, IP geolocation.
- Compliance frameworks
- Money Laundering Prevention Act 2012
- Anti-Terrorism Act 2009 (amended)
- Bangladesh Bank BFIU Master Circular
- Bangladesh Bank MFS Regulations
- BSEC Securities Markets Regulations
- Personal Data Protection Act (draft, 2023)
- FATF 40 recommendations
Who supervises identity verification in Bangladesh.
Bangladesh Bank
Central Bank of Bangladesh, prudential supervisor for every scheduled bank, Mobile Financial Service (MFS) provider, Payment Service Provider (PSP) and Microfinance Institution. Sets remote-onboarding rules under the Money Laundering Prevention Act 2012 and the BFIU Master Circular.

NID Wing cross-check ships through partner integration.
Bangladesh does not currently expose a public consumer-grade NID verification API to cross-border KYC vendors, the NID Wing's Porichoy service is licensed only to Bangladesh Bank-regulated entities and approved domestic Payment Service Operators under bilateral data-sharing agreements.
- The hosted flow already covers NID / Smart NID capture + OCR + biometric face-match against the document portrait, the operational baseline the BFIU Master Circular expects.
- Didit ships Database Validation for 40+ countries; if you hold a Porichoy / NID Wing integration as a Bangladesh Bank-regulated entity, the Enterprise tier includes BYO-source onboarding so the lookup runs inline with the rest of the verification flow.

Common questions about Bangladesh.
What does Didit ship?
Didit is the infrastructure layer for identity and fraud. One Application Programming Interface (API), 25+ composable modules across four product lines:
- User Verification (KYC, know your customer), Identity Document Verification, liveness, face match, Anti-Money Laundering (AML) screening, Internet Protocol (IP) analysis. $0.33 per full bundle.
- Business Verification (KYB, know your business), registry, Ultimate Beneficial Owner (UBO), officers, entity AML, plus a linked KYC session per UBO.
- Transaction Monitoring, real-time rule engine, case management, Suspicious Activity Report (SAR) workflow.
- Wallet Screening (KYT, know your transaction), on-chain wallet risk at $0.15 per check, or bring your own screening provider and run it inside Didit.
Compose any module into a workflow with the visual no-code builder, ship in 5 minutes, 500 verifications free every month, forever.
How is Didit different from a single-product Know Your Customer (KYC) vendor?
Most identity vendors sell one slice, a KYC check, an Anti-Money Laundering (AML) list, a wallet screen. Didit ships the infrastructure underneath all of them, and the gap shows up on six axes:
- Pricing. Public price on every module, $0.33 for a full KYC, 500 verifications free every month, no minimums, no contracts. Single-product vendors hide six-figure minimums behind a sales call.
- Access. Sandbox in one click, self-serve from day one, production keys on signup. Single-product vendors gate the sandbox behind a contract, months to evaluate.
- Developer experience. Public docs, a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for Claude Code and Cursor, and native Software Development Kits (SDKs) for Web, iOS, Android, React Native, and Flutter. Integrate in 5 minutes with an AI agent or in a working afternoon by hand.
- User experience. Highest pass rates in the market, sub-2-second end-to-end inference, country-specialised capture flows, 48+ languages out of the box.
- Flexibility. One
/v3/Application Programming Interface (API) composes 25+ modules across KYC, Know Your Business (KYB), Transaction Monitoring, and Wallet Screening (KYT, know your transaction). A KYB session spawns a linked KYC for every Ultimate Beneficial Owner (UBO); a flagged transaction spawns a step-up KYC remediation, same session, same webhook contract, same audit trail. Single-product vendors sell one shape of KYC and stop there. - AI-era fraud. 200+ real-time fraud signals scored on every session, deepfake, injection, synthetic-ID, document forgery, face-morph, device intelligence, replay. Single-product vendors treat deepfake and injection detection as roadmap items, not defaults.
Common in fintech and crypto, the same architecture fits marketplaces, iGaming, mobility, and any vertical where you need to know who someone is and what they are doing.
What does it cost? Is anything actually free?
500 verifications free every month, forever, on every account. No credit card. No sales call. No expiry.
Above the free tier, every module has a public per-success price on didit.me/pricing, $0.33 per full KYC bundle, $0.15 per Identity Document Verification, $0.15 per Wallet Screening, $0.20 per Anti-Money Laundering (AML) Screening, $0.10 per liveness, $0.05 per face match, $0.03 per Internet Protocol (IP) analysis.
Pay-as-you-go, no minimums, no overage surprises. Volume discounts kick in automatically as you grow.
Which Bangladesh regulator covers identity verification on a digital onboarding?
Four sit on top of every Bangladesh identity-verification flow:
- Bangladesh Bank, central bank and prudential supervisor for every scheduled bank, Mobile Financial Service (MFS) provider, Payment Service Provider (PSP) and Microfinance Institution. Sets remote-onboarding rules under the Money Laundering Prevention Act 2012 and the BFIU Master Circular.
- Bangladesh Securities and Exchange Commission (BSEC), securities supervisor for stock-exchange members and asset-management companies.
- Bangladesh Financial Intelligence Unit (BFIU), Bangladesh's FIU, housed in Bangladesh Bank. Receives Suspicious Transaction Reports and operates the BFIU Domestic Sanction List.
- NID Wing of the Bangladesh Election Commission, issues every NID and Smart NID, and operates the Porichoy NID verification service used by Bangladesh Bank-supervised institutions.
Didit ships the hosted flow + the audit log + the watchlist coverage to satisfy all four at the same time, same POST /v3/session/ workflow, same JSON report, same SOC 2 Type 1 + ISO/IEC 27001 evidence pack.
Does Didit cross-check Bangladesh identities against the NID Wing?
Not directly as a cross-border vendor, and this is a market-wide constraint, not a Didit gap. The NID Wing's Porichoy verification service is licensed only to Bangladesh Bank-regulated entities and approved domestic Payment Service Operators under bilateral data-sharing agreements; it is not exposed as a consumer-grade API to cross-border KYC vendors.
What Didit covers today:
- NID and Smart NID capture + OCR + chip read, full field extraction including the 10 / 13 / 17-digit NID number, name (Bengali + Latin), address.
- Document authenticity check, confirms the card is genuine, not a forgery or screen capture.
- Face Match against the photo on the card, biometric proof of cardholder presence.
- AML screening against Bangladesh regulatory watchlists, Bangladesh Domestic Sanctions List, BFIU Domestic Sanction List, Anti-Corruption Commission, Bureau of Anti-Corruption, Jatiya Sangsad PEP register, Bangladesh Bank PEP references.
If you hold a Porichoy integration as a Bangladesh Bank-regulated entity, the Enterprise tier includes BYO-source onboarding so the lookup runs inline with the rest of the verification flow.
Does Didit screen against the BFIU Domestic Sanction List?
Yes, on every AML check. The Money Laundering Prevention Act 2012 and the BFIU Master Circular require every Bangladesh Bank-supervised institution to screen every customer against the BFIU Domestic Sanction List and the broader Bangladesh Domestic Sanctions List maintained by the Ministry of Home Affairs.
Didit's AML Screening module ($0.20 per check) ingests both lists alongside the global pool of 1,300+ sanctions, PEP and adverse-media lists, the Anti-Corruption Commission and Bureau of Anti-Corruption registers, the Jatiya Sangsad (Parliament) PEP register, and Bangladesh Bank PEP references. Ongoing monitoring ($0.07 per user / year) re-checks every customer daily and fires a webhook the moment a new hit appears, what the BFIU Master Circular periodic-review obligation expects.
How long does it take to integrate Didit in Bangladesh?
5 minutes to a working sandbox, a weekend to a production flow.
- Sign up at
business.didit.me, grab an API key, callPOST /v3/session/with aworkflow_idthat wires ID Verification + Active Liveness + Face Match + AML, done. - AI-agent path: paste the integration prompt at
docs.didit.me/integration/integration-promptinto Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Devin, Aider, or Replit Agent. The agent provisions the application, builds the workflow, wires the webhook, and runs a smoke test. - Five SDKs share the same session model: Web, iOS, Android, React Native, Flutter.
The first 500 verifications every month are free, forever, pilot the full Bangladesh stack at zero cost before flipping production traffic.
Which language does the hosted verification flow use for Bangladesh users?
Bengali and English (Bangladesh), auto-detected from the user's browser / device locale. The hosted UI ships in 48+ languages; Bangladesh users land on the Bengali flow by default, with English on the same flow for cross-border or expat users.
The document-recognition layer is decoupled from the UI layer, Bengali names on the NID / Smart NID / BRTA Driving Licence are preserved verbatim through OCR alongside the Latin transliteration. The admin console can be set independently to whichever language your compliance team prefers.
What does the Bangladesh verification cost end-to-end?
Per-module public pricing, pay only for what runs on the session:
- ID Verification,
$0.15per document check. - Passive Liveness,
$0.10. Active Liveness,$0.15. - Face Match 1:1,
$0.05. Face Search 1:N, free. - AML Screening,
$0.20per check. Ongoing AML,$0.07 per user / year.
The full KYC bundle (Identity + Passive Liveness + Face Match + IP Analysis) is `$0.33`, same anchor price worldwide, no Bangladesh surcharge. 500 verifications free every month, no credit card. Volume discounts auto-apply above the free tier; Enterprise adds a custom Master Services Agreement (MSA) and data-residency choice.
