Country brief

How identity verification works in Mongolia.

The fraud surface and the frameworks an engineering or compliance lead needs before scoping an integration.
Fraud landscape
Three pressures shape Mongolian identity fraud: synthetic-ID and mule-account attacks exploiting the rapid growth of mobile banking and digital lending, forgery of the National Identity Card during regional cross-border flows, and informal-economy AML exposure across the mining and commodity sectors. Didit scores 200+ real-time fraud signals on every session, face morph, replay, injection, document tampering, device intelligence, IP geolocation.
Compliance frameworks
  • Law on Combating Money Laundering and Terrorism Financing (LCML/TF) 2013 (amended 2021)
  • Law on the Central Bank (Bank of Mongolia Act)
  • Law on Banking 2010 (amended 2018)
  • Law on Personal Data Protection 2021
  • APG (Asia/Pacific Group on Money Laundering), mutual evaluation framework
  • EAG (Eurasian Group on Combating Money Laundering and Financing of Terrorism), regional FATF-style body
Regulators

Who supervises identity verification in Mongolia.

These are the supervisors a Mongolia verification flow has to answer to. One Didit hosted flow + one audit log covers every one of them, no separate integration per agency.
  • BoM

    Bank of Mongolia (Монголбанк), central bank and primary supervisor of licensed commercial banks, non-bank financial institutions, and the national payment system. Sets CDD/KYC requirements for regulated financial institutions.

  • FRC

    Financial Regulatory Commission, supervises non-bank financial institutions, securities dealers, insurance companies, collective investment funds, and virtual-asset service providers (VASPs). Issues AML/CFT rules for non-bank regulated entities.

  • FIU

    Financial Intelligence Unit of Mongolia, sits within the General Intelligence Agency. Receives Suspicious Transaction Reports from all reporting entities under the Law on Combating Money Laundering and Terrorism Financing (LCML/TF). Maintains national AML designations.

FAQ

Common questions about Mongolia.

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 Mongolian regulator covers identity verification on a digital onboarding?

Four regulators sit on top of every Mongolian identity-verification flow:

  • Bank of Mongolia (BoM / Монголбанк), central bank and supervisor of licensed commercial banks and the national payment system. Sets CDD/KYC requirements under the Law on Banking 2010 (amended 2018).
  • Financial Regulatory Commission (FRC), supervises non-bank financial institutions, securities firms, insurers, and virtual-asset service providers (VASPs) under its implementing AML/CFT rules.
  • Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) of Mongolia, within the General Intelligence Agency. Receives Suspicious Transaction Reports under the Law on Combating Money Laundering and Terrorism Financing (LCML/TF) 2013 (amended 2021).
  • State Registration Authority (SRA), issues and maintains the National Identity Card and civil registration numbers under the Law on Personal Data Protection 2021.

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

Does Didit cover Mongolia's EAG and APG compliance obligations?

Yes. Mongolia is a member of both the Eurasian Group on Combating Money Laundering and Financing of Terrorism (EAG), the regional FATF-style body covering Central Asia and Mongolia, and the Asia/Pacific Group on Money Laundering (APG). Both memberships impose mutual-evaluation-aligned AML/CFT obligations on Mongolian regulated entities.

Didit covers the full compliance stack on one workflow:

  • AML Screening ($0.20 per check) against 1,300+ global lists including EAG designations, APG mutual-evaluation outputs, FATF high-risk jurisdictions, UN Security Council Consolidated Sanctions, and OFAC SDN.
  • Ongoing AML monitoring ($0.07 per user / year) with daily re-checks and webhook alerts on new hits, satisfying the periodic-review obligation under the LCML/TF 2013 (amended 2021).
  • Full KYC workflow, ID Verification + Active Liveness + Face Match, at $0.33 per session.
How long does it take to integrate Didit in Mongolia?

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, 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 Mongolia stack at zero cost before flipping production traffic.

What does the Mongolia verification cost end-to-end?

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.

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