How identity verification works in Zimbabwe.
- Fraud landscape
- Three pressures shape Zimbabwean identity fraud: deepfake and synthetic-ID attacks on mobile-money platforms and informal-remittance corridors, National ID forgery across the older and newer card formats, and cross-border AML risk on the South Africa, Zambia, and Mozambique corridors under FATF enhanced monitoring. Didit scores 200+ real-time fraud signals on every session, face morph, replay, injection, document tampering, device intelligence, IP geolocation.
- Compliance frameworks
- Money Laundering and Proceeds of Crime Act (MLPCA) 2013
- Cybersecurity and Data Protection Act 2021
- Banking Act (Chapter 24:20)
- FATF enhanced monitoring, Zimbabwe under observation
- ESAAMLG Mutual Evaluation recommendations
- FATF 40 recommendations

Common questions about Zimbabwe.
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 Zimbabwean regulator covers identity verification on a digital onboarding?
Four bodies govern every Zimbabwean identity-verification flow:
- Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe (RBZ), central bank and prudential supervisor for banks and payment service providers including mobile-money operators.
- Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU Zimbabwe), Zimbabwe's Financial Intelligence Unit. Administers the Money Laundering and Proceeds of Crime Act (MLPCA) 2013 and receives Suspicious Transaction Reports.
- ZIMRA, Zimbabwe Revenue Authority, cooperating with FIU Zimbabwe on financial-crime investigations.
- Ministry of ICT, enforces the Cybersecurity and Data Protection Act 2021 governing how identity-verification data is processed on Zimbabwean residents.
Note: Zimbabwe is subject to enhanced FATF monitoring, compliance teams should apply heightened due diligence on Zimbabwean-user onboarding flows. Didit's watchlist coverage and ongoing monitoring capability are specifically designed for enhanced-monitoring jurisdictions.
