How identity verification works in South Sudan.
- Fraud landscape
- Three pressures shape South Sudanese identity fraud: weak civil-registry infrastructure leaving large population segments without reliable documentation, mobile-money fraud on the rapidly expanding telecommunications and agent-banking networks, and AML pressure on cross-border remittance corridors with Uganda, Kenya, Ethiopia, and Sudan. Didit scores 200+ real-time fraud signals on every session — face morph, replay, injection, document tampering, device intelligence, IP geolocation.
- Compliance frameworks
- Anti-Money Laundering and Counter Financing of Terrorism Act 2012 (South Sudan)
- Bank of South Sudan Act 2011
- Financial Institutions Act 2012
- ESAAMLG mutual-evaluation framework
- FATF 40 recommendations
