How identity verification works in Finland.
- Fraud landscape
- Three pressures shape Finnish identity fraud: deepfake and injection attacks on Helsinki's neobank and crypto cluster (Holvi, Northcrypto, Coinmotion), document forgery against the Finnish driving licence and residence permit, and AML pressure on the high-velocity Nordic-Baltic payments corridor. Didit scores 200+ real-time fraud signals on every session, face morph, replay, injection, document tampering, device intelligence, IP geolocation.
- Compliance frameworks
- Finnish AML Act (Laki rahanpesun ja terrorismin rahoittamisen estämisestä)
- AMLD6
- MiCA
- DORA
- GDPR / Finnish Data Protection Act
- PSD2
- eIDAS 2.0

Common questions about Finland.
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 Finnish regulators sit on top of a digital onboarding flow?
Four supervisors sit on every Finnish identity-verification flow:
- Finanssivalvonta (FIN-FSA), Finnish Financial Supervisory Authority. Sets remote-onboarding requirements for banks, payment institutions, electronic-money institutions, and MiCA-licensed crypto-asset service providers under the Finnish AML Act (Laki rahanpesun ja terrorismin rahoittamisen estämisestä), Finland's transposition of AMLD6.
- Rahanpesun Selvittelykeskus, Finland's Financial Intelligence Unit, sitting inside the National Bureau of Investigation. Receives every suspicious activity report.
- Tietosuojavaltuutettu, Office of the Data Protection Ombudsman. GDPR supervisor.
- Arpajaishallinto / Poliisihallitus, Finnish Gambling Authority oversight. Supervises licensed gambling operators with mandatory KYC + AML controls.
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 Finnish identities against the Finnish Identity Card issuing agency?
Yes, via the `fin_national_id` Database Validation service (POST /v3/database-validation/ with services=fin_national_id).
- Source: Official issuing agency of the Finnish Identity Card.
- Coverage: ~100% of the adult population.
- Price:
$2.10 per successful query. - Required inputs:
first_name,last_name,date_of_birth,national_id(the henkilötunnus). - Returns:
identification_number,first_name,last_name,full_name,date_of_birth,name_match_score.
Two complementary services round out the surface: `fin_consumer_2` (combined consumer + household records, $0.97) and `fin_consumer` ($0.09, ~10% coverage). All three are documented at docs.didit.me/api-reference/database-validation/finland/.
Is Didit ready for MiCA-licensed Finnish crypto-asset service providers?
Yes. Finanssivalvonta authorises crypto-asset service providers under MiCA with mandatory KYC + AML controls per the Finnish AML Act.
Didit covers the full stack on one workflow:
- Identity Document Verification + Active Liveness + Face Match 1:1 for the tier-1 onboarding check.
- `fin_national_id` Database Validation against the Finnish Identity Card issuing agency, the source check Finanssivalvonta and the Rahanpesun Selvittelykeskus expect.
- AML Screening ($0.20 per check) against the global 1,300+ pool plus Finnish regulatory watchlists and EU Consolidated Sanctions.
- Wallet Screening (KYT) at $0.15 per check for the on-chain exposure assessment MiCA + Travel Rule require.
- Ongoing AML monitoring ($0.07 per user / year) for the periodic-review obligation under the Finnish AML Act.
How long does it take to integrate Didit in Finland?
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 + thefin_national_iddatabase check, 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 Finland stack at zero cost before flipping production traffic.
Which language does the hosted verification flow use for Finnish users?
Finnish, auto-detected from the user's browser / device locale. The hosted UI ships in 48+ languages; Finnish users land on the Finnish flow by default. Swedish is live as Finland's second official language, and English is 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.
What does the Finland 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,
