How identity verification works in Zambia.
- Fraud landscape
- Three pressures shape Zambian identity fraud: deepfake and synthetic-ID attacks on the mobile-money and fintech sector, NRC forgery across the older and newer card formats, and cross-border AML risk on the DRC, Zimbabwe, and Tanzania corridors. 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 Act 2010
- Anti-Corruption Act 2012
- Data Protection Act 2021
- Bank of Zambia Act 2013
- ESAAMLG Mutual Evaluation recommendations
- FATF 40 recommendations
