Question 1

What does Didit ship?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 2

How is Didit different from a single-product Know Your Customer (KYC) vendor?

Accepted Answer

**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.

Question 3

What does it cost? Is anything actually free?

Accepted Answer

**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.

Question 4

Which Costa Rican regulator covers identity verification on a digital onboarding?

Accepted Answer

Three sit on top of every Costa Rican identity-verification flow:

- **Superintendencia General de Entidades Financieras (SUGEF)** — sets remote-onboarding requirements for banks, financial cooperatives, EMIs and currency-exchange entities under **Acuerdo SUGEF 12-10** and **CONASSIF Acuerdo 12-21** (Customer Due Diligence).
- **Instituto Costarricense sobre Drogas (ICD)** — Costa Rica's Financial Intelligence Unit equivalent. Receives Reportes de Operación Sospechosa under **Ley 8204** (Estupefacientes, Sustancias Psicotrópicas, Drogas de Uso No Autorizado, Actividades Conexas, Legitimación de Capitales y Financiamiento al Terrorismo).
- **Agencia de Protección de Datos de los Habitantes (PRODHAB)** — supervises **Ley 8968 (Protección de la Persona frente al Tratamiento de Datos Personales)**. Governs how the verification data is captured, stored and disclosed.

Didit ships the hosted flow + the audit log + the watchlist coverage to satisfy all three at the same time — same `POST /v3/session/` workflow, same JSON report, same SOC 2 Type 1 + ISO/IEC 27001 evidence pack.

Question 5

Does Didit cross-check Costa Rican identities against the Tribunal Supremo de Elecciones?

Accepted Answer

**Yes — via the `cri_cedula` Database Validation service** (`POST /v3/database-validation/` with `services=cri_cedula`).

- **Source:** Tribunal Supremo de Elecciones (TSE) — the authoritative Costa Rican civil registry and electoral authority.
- **Price:** `$0.20 per successful query` — among the cheapest authoritative-source checks in Central America.
- **Required inputs:** `personal_number` (the Cédula, 9-12 digits).
- **Returns:** `identification_number`, `first_name`, `last_name`, `full_name`.
- **Consent:** Not required.

Question 6

Is Didit suitable for SUGEF Category-1 banks on Acuerdo 12-21 onboarding?

Accepted Answer

**Yes.** SUGEF and CONASSIF rolled out **Acuerdo 12-21** as the unified Customer Due Diligence framework for all supervised entities — banks (including state-owned banks), cooperatives, EMIs, currency-exchange houses and SUGEVAL-registered broker-dealers.

Didit covers the full stack on one workflow:

- **Identity Document Verification** + **Active Liveness** + **Face Match 1:1** for the tier-1 onboarding check.
- **`cri_cedula`** Database Validation against the TSE — the authoritative-source check SUGEF expects.
- **AML Screening** ($0.20 per check) against the global pool plus Costa Rican regulatory watchlists.
- **Business Verification (KYB)** with UBO chain extraction under **Ley 9298** (UBO registry — the Registro de Transparencia y Beneficiarios Finales, RTBF, run by the Banco Central).
- **Ongoing AML monitoring** ($0.07 per user / year) for the periodic-review obligation.

Question 7

How long does it take to integrate Didit in Costa Rica?

Accepted Answer

**5 minutes to a working sandbox, a weekend to a production flow.**

- Sign up at `business.didit.me`, grab an API key, call `POST /v3/session/` with a `workflow_id` that wires ID Verification + Active Liveness + Face Match + AML + TSE Cédula cross-check — done.
- AI-agent path: paste the integration prompt at `docs.didit.me/integration/integration-prompt` into 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 Costa Rica stack at zero cost before flipping production traffic.

Question 8

Which language does the hosted verification flow use for Costa Rican users?

Accepted Answer

**Costa Rican Spanish — auto-detected from the user's browser / device locale.** The hosted UI ships in 48+ languages; Costa Rican users land on the Spanish flow by default. English is also live on the same flow for cross-border or expat users.

The document-recognition layer is decoupled from the UI layer — capture works in any language, and the admin console can be set independently to whichever language your compliance team prefers.

Question 9

What does the Costa Rica verification cost end-to-end?

Accepted Answer

Per-module public pricing — pay only for what runs on the session:

- **ID Verification** — `$0.15` per document check.
- **Passive Liveness** — `$0.10`. Active Liveness — `$0.15`.
- **Face Match 1:1** — `$0.05`. Face Search 1:N — **free**.
- **AML Screening** — `$0.20` per check. Ongoing AML — `$0.07 per user / year`.
- **`cri_cedula`** (TSE) — `$0.20` per successful query.

The **full KYC bundle** (Identity + Passive Liveness + Face Match + IP Analysis) is **`$0.33`** — same anchor price worldwide, no Costa Rica 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.
