Identity verification
built for Somalia

Didit is the infrastructure layer for identity and fraud. One Application Programming Interface (API), 25+ composable modules across four product lines:

• 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.

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.
• Access. Sandbox in one click, self-serve from day one, production keys on signup.
• Developer experience. Public docs, Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, and native SDKs for Web, iOS, Android, React Native, and Flutter. Integrate in 5 minutes.
• User experience. Highest pass rates in the market, sub-2-second inference, country-specialised capture flows, 48+ languages.
• Flexibility. One /v3/ API composes 25+ modules across KYC, KYB, Transaction Monitoring, and Wallet Screening.
• AI-era fraud. 200+ real-time fraud signals, deepfake, injection, synthetic-ID, document forgery, face-morph, device intelligence, replay.

Common in fintech and mobile-money, the same architecture fits marketplaces, remittance, and any vertical where you need to know who someone is and what they are doing.

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, $0.20 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.

Three bodies sit on top of every Somali identity-verification flow:

• Central Bank of Somalia (CBS), sets KYC, AML, and payment-system requirements under the Central Bank of Somalia Act 2011 (as amended). Supervises licensed banks and mobile-money operators.
• Financial Reporting Centre (FRC Somalia), the Financial Intelligence Unit. Receives Suspicious Transaction Reports under the Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Financing of Terrorism Law (2016).
• NAMLC, the National Anti-Money Laundering Committee issues the Targeted Financial Sanctions list mandatory for every Somali entity screening.

Somalia is FATF grey-listed (Increased Monitoring), enhanced due diligence is required on all Somali-connected transactions. UN Security Council sanctions (UNSCR 733/1992 and successors) screening is mandatory.

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

Somalia carries elevated risk on three vectors regulators explicitly require enhanced due diligence for:

• FATF grey list (Increased Monitoring), Somalia was placed under FATF Increased Monitoring. All regulated entities must apply enhanced due diligence for Somalia-connected transactions per FATF Recommendation 19.
• UN Security Council arms embargo (UNSCR 733/1992 and successors), mandatory sanctions screening including al-Shabaab-linked designations.
• OFAC SDN designations, US Treasury SDN entries for Somalia-nexus entities including terrorism-financing networks.

Didit screens against 1,300+ lists including all FATF, UN Security Council, OFAC, and NAMLC sources by default on every session, no additional configuration needed.

The same document + biometric + AML session works for both mobile-money onboarding and traditional banking KYC.

Somalia's mobile-money operators (Hormuud EVC Plus, Salaam, Dahabshiil) and the growing CBS-licensed banking sector all need the same underlying identity layer:

• Document OCR reads Somali National ID Cards, passports, and Somaliland travel documents.
• Active Liveness + Face Match confirms the user is present and alive, critical for mobile-first flows where the entire session happens on a smartphone.
• AML Screening screens every user against NAMLC TFS, UN Security Council Consolidated Sanctions, OFAC SDN, and FATF grey-list-flagged sources.

One POST /v3/session/ endpoint, one JSON report, works for mobile-money onboarding and bank account opening alike.

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, or Replit Agent.
• 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 Somalia stack at zero cost before flipping production traffic.

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 Somalia surcharge. 500 verifications free every month, no credit card.
