How identity verification works in Hungary.
- Fraud landscape
- Two pressures shape Hungarian identity fraud: deepfake and synthetic-eSzemélyi attacks on the wave of MNB-licensed neobanks and MiCA-supervised crypto exchanges, and cross-border forgery pressure as Hungarian banks onboard Romanian, Slovak, Serbian, and Ukrainian residents under AMLD6 mutual recognition. Didit scores 200+ real-time fraud signals on every session, face morph, replay, injection, document tampering, device intelligence, IP geolocation.
- Compliance frameworks
- Act LIII of 2017 (AML Act)
- AMLD6
- MiCA
- DORA
- GDPR / Info Act 2011
- EU Reg. 2019/1157 (eSzemélyi)

Common questions about Hungary.
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 Hungarian regulator covers identity verification on a digital onboarding?
Four sit on top of every Hungarian identity-verification flow:
- Magyar Nemzeti Bank (MNB), central bank and the single prudential supervisor for banks, payment institutions, electronic-money issuers, securities firms, insurers, and Crypto-Asset Service Providers under the Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA). Sets remote-onboarding requirements.
- Pénzmosás Elleni Hivatal, Hungary's Financial Intelligence Unit, inside the National Tax and Customs Administration (NAV). Receives Suspicious Activity Reports under Act LIII of 2017.
- Nemzeti Adatvédelmi és Információszabadság Hatóság (NAIH), supervises the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Info Act 2011. Governs how the verification data is captured, stored and disclosed.
- Gazdasági Versenyhivatal (GVH), Hungarian Competition Authority. Issues warnings + decisions referenced in AML screening.
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 Hungarian identities against an authoritative registry?
Yes, via the `hun_residential` Database Validation service on POST /v3/database-validation/.
- Source: combined consumer and public records.
- Price:
$1.14 per successful query. - Required inputs:
first_name,last_name,address,date_of_birth(date-of-birth required for stronger identity binding). - Returns:
address,date_of_birth,first_name,last_namematch scores. - Consent: not required.
The service is documented at docs.didit.me/api-reference/database-validation/hungary/residential. The eSzemélyi itself is captured + OCR-parsed + chip-read on the same session via the Identity Document Verification module.
Is Didit ready for an MNB Payment Institution authorisation in Hungary?
Yes. The Magyar Nemzeti Bank (MNB) authorises every Payment Institution (PI) and Electronic-Money Institution (EMI) in Hungary, every entity must run full Customer Due Diligence under Act LIII of 2017.
Didit covers the full stack on one workflow:
- Identity Document Verification + Active Liveness + Face Match 1:1 for the tier-1 onboarding check.
- `hun_residential` Database Validation for the authoritative proof-of-address.
- AML Screening ($0.20 per check) against the global pool plus Hungarian regulatory watchlists (NAV Canceled tax numbers, Hungarian Police Warnings, GVH SIE, National Assembly PEPs).
- Ongoing AML monitoring ($0.07 per user / year) for the periodic-review obligation, plus a Pénzmosás Elleni Hivatal Suspicious Activity Report evidence pack on every hit.
How long does it take to integrate Didit in Hungary?
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 + Hungary residential database, 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 Hungary stack at zero cost before flipping production traffic.
Which language does the hosted verification flow use for Hungarian users?
Hungarian, auto-detected from the user's browser / device locale. The hosted UI ships in 48+ languages; Hungarian users land on the Hungarian flow by default. English, German, Romanian, and Slovak are 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.
What does the Hungary 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,
