Country brief

How identity verification works in Myanmar (Burma).

The fraud surface and the frameworks an engineering or compliance lead needs before scoping an integration.
Fraud landscape
Myanmar faces elevated identity-fraud risk driven by a large unbanked population transitioning to mobile financial services, document-forgery attempts exploiting the dual NRC and newer biometric document formats, and cross-border flows with Thailand, China, and India creating synthetic-ID attack surfaces. Didit scores 200+ real-time fraud signals on every session, face morph, replay, injection, document tampering, device intelligence, IP geolocation, and applies the full OFAC SDN, UN Security Council, and EU Myanmar targeted-sanctions screening on every check.
Compliance frameworks
  • Anti-Money Laundering Law 2014
  • Financial Institutions Law 2016
  • Securities Exchange Law 2013
  • Counter Terrorism Law 2014
  • APG Mutual Evaluation Framework
  • FATF 40 Recommendations
  • OFAC Myanmar Targeted Sanctions (EO 14014)
Regulators

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

  • CBM

    Central Bank of Myanmar, prudential supervisor for banks, licensed financial institutions, and mobile financial service providers. Issues KYC and Customer Due Diligence requirements under the Financial Institutions Law 2016.

  • Myanmar FIU

FAQ

Common questions about Myanmar (Burma).

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 Myanmar regulator covers AML compliance for digital onboarding?

AML compliance in Myanmar is supervised by:

  • Central Bank of Myanmar (CBM), prudential supervisor for banks, financial institutions, and mobile financial service providers. Sets Customer Due Diligence requirements under the Financial Institutions Law 2016.
  • Myanmar Financial Intelligence Unit (Myanmar FIU), operates under CBM. Receives Suspicious Transaction Reports and enforces AML/CFT controls under the Anti-Money Laundering Law 2014.
  • OFAC (US Treasury), maintains the Specially Designated Nationals (SDN) list including Myanmar military-linked entities under Executive Order 14014. Every Didit session screens against the full SDN list.

Didit serves legitimate fintech businesses licensed under CBM, same POST /v3/session/ workflow, full OFAC/UN/EU sanctions screening, same SOC 2 Type 1 + ISO/IEC 27001 evidence pack.

Does Didit screen against US and EU Myanmar sanctions lists?

Yes, on every single session.

Didit's AML Screening ($0.20 per check) runs against 1,300+ global watchlists including:

  • OFAC Specially Designated Nationals (SDN), US Treasury designations on Myanmar military entities and associated persons under Executive Order 14014.
  • EU Myanmar Targeted Sanctions, Council Regulation (EU) 2021/1229 designations on military-linked entities and businesses.
  • UN Security Council Consolidated Sanctions List, global designations applicable to Myanmar counterparties.
  • Parliament of Myanmar (Burma), PEP Level 1 register.
  • Myanmar Union Parliament, PEP Level 3 officials.

Ongoing monitoring ($0.07/user/yr) re-checks every screened entity daily and fires a webhook on new hits, so a previously clean user who becomes designated is caught automatically.

Is Didit ready for CBM-licensed fintech onboarding in Myanmar?

Yes. CBM-licensed banks, financial institutions, and mobile financial service providers must run full Customer Due Diligence under the Anti-Money Laundering Law 2014 and Financial Institutions Law 2016.

Didit covers the full stack on one workflow:

  • Identity Document Verification (NRC + biometric passport) + Passive Liveness + Face Match 1:1 for the tier-1 onboarding check.
  • AML Screening ($0.20 per check) against the global pool plus Myanmar watchlists, including OFAC SDN, EU targeted sanctions, and parliamentary PEP registers.
  • Ongoing AML monitoring ($0.07 per user / year) for periodic-review obligations.
  • 500 verifications free every month, pilot the full Myanmar stack at zero cost.
How long does it take to integrate Didit in Myanmar?

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 + Passive 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 Myanmar stack at zero cost before flipping production traffic.

What does Myanmar 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 (includes OFAC SDN + UN + EU Myanmar sanctions). 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. 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.
