How identity verification works in Israel.
- Fraud landscape
- Three pressures shape Israeli identity fraud: deepfake and synthetic-Teudat-Zehut attacks targeting the Bank of Israel's licensed payment-service providers and Israel Securities Authority-registered crypto custodians, Teudat Zehut and Driving Licence template forgery across the legacy and biometric formats, and AML pressure on cross-border stablecoin and remittance corridors under NBCTF and Ministry of Finance terror-financing designations. Didit scores 200+ real-time fraud signals on every session, face morph, replay, injection, document tampering, device intelligence, IP geolocation.
- Compliance frameworks
- Prohibition on Money Laundering Law 5760-2000
- Privacy Protection Law 5741-1981 (Amendment 13, 2024)
- Payment Services Law 5779-2019
- Financial Service Providers Law (crypto supervision)
- IMPA orders on financial institutions and DNFBPs
- FATF 40 recommendations

Common questions about Israel.
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 Israeli regulator covers identity verification on a digital onboarding?
Four sit on top of every Israeli identity-verification flow:
- Bank of Israel (BoI), prudential supervisor for banks, credit-card companies, payment service providers, and licensed-payment-service providers under the Payment Services Law 5779-2019.
- Israel Securities Authority (ISA), supervises securities firms and licenses crypto custodians and digital-asset service providers under the Financial Service Providers Law.
- Israel Money Laundering and Terror Financing Prohibition Authority (IMPA), Israel's Financial Intelligence Unit. Administers the Prohibition on Money Laundering Law 5760-2000 and receives Suspicious Activity Reports.
- Privacy Protection Authority (PPA), enforces the Privacy Protection Law 5741-1981 (and the 2024 Amendment 13 reform). Governs how the verification data is captured, stored, and disclosed.
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 screen against the Israeli NBCTF and Ministry of Finance sanctions lists?
Yes, on every AML Screening call.
- Didit screens names against the global pool of 1,300+ sanctions, PEP, and adverse-media lists.
- Plus every Israeli national list IMPA expects an obliged entity to monitor, NBCTF Associations and Terrorist Organizations, NBCTF Seizures, NBCTF Declarations On Activists, Ministry of Finance Designated entities and individuals, plus the Knesset, Cabinet, and Ministry-level PEP registers.
- AML Screening costs
$0.20per check; Ongoing AML monitoring costs$0.07 per user / yearand re-checks every customer daily, what IMPA-supervised institutions need for the periodic-review obligation under the Prohibition on Money Laundering Law.
Does Didit cross-check the Teudat Zehut against the Israeli population register?
The Teudat Zehut is captured, OCR-parsed, and validated for template authenticity on every session, and Didit pairs that with biometric Face Match 1:1 against the document portrait and Active Liveness against deepfakes.
- The Israeli population register direct lookup runs through Bank-of-Israel-supervised data partners on Enterprise. Talk to sales to wire that into your workflow.
- For the standard hosted KYC, the OCR + biometric + AML stack is what every Bank-of-Israel-licensed payment-service provider, ISA-registered crypto custodian, and licensed credit-card issuer ships to production today.
How long does it take to integrate Didit in Israel?
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 Israel stack at zero cost before flipping production traffic.
Which language does the hosted verification flow use for Israeli users?
Hebrew, auto-detected from the user's browser / device locale. The hosted UI ships in 48+ languages with full right-to-left support; Israeli users land on the Hebrew flow by default, and English, Arabic, and Russian are live on the same flow for cross-language teams.
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 Israel 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 Israel 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.
