How identity verification works in Bangladesh.
- Fraud landscape
- Three pressures shape Bangladesh identity fraud: deepfake and synthetic-NID attacks on the wave of Mobile Financial Service (MFS) wallets (bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay) where Bangladesh Bank requires e-KYC for every new account, BFIU Domestic Sanctions screening pressure across scheduled banks and PSPs, and Bangladesh Bank's tightening Customer Due Diligence expectations as the country exits the FATF grey-list scrutiny period. Didit scores 200+ real-time fraud signals on every session — face morph, replay, injection, document tampering, device intelligence, IP geolocation.
- Compliance frameworks
- Money Laundering Prevention Act 2012
- Anti-Terrorism Act 2009 (amended)
- Bangladesh Bank BFIU Master Circular
- Bangladesh Bank MFS Regulations
- BSEC Securities Markets Regulations
- Personal Data Protection Act (draft, 2023)
- FATF 40 recommendations
Who supervises identity verification in Bangladesh.
Bangladesh Bank
Central Bank of Bangladesh — prudential supervisor for every scheduled bank, Mobile Financial Service (MFS) provider, Payment Service Provider (PSP) and Microfinance Institution. Sets remote-onboarding rules under the Money Laundering Prevention Act 2012 and the BFIU Master Circular.
BSEC
Bangladesh Securities and Exchange Commission — securities supervisor for stock-exchange members, asset-management companies and the emerging digital-asset landscape.
BFIU
Bangladesh Financial Intelligence Unit — Bangladesh's FIU, housed in Bangladesh Bank. Receives Suspicious Transaction Reports under the Money Laundering Prevention Act 2012 and operates the BFIU Domestic Sanction List.
NID Wing
National ID Wing of the Bangladesh Election Commission — issues every NID and Smart NID. The authoritative civil-registry authority and the operator of the NID verification service used by Bangladesh Bank-supervised institutions.
BRTA
Bangladesh Road Transport Authority — issues Driving Licences and regulates motor-vehicle registration. Driving Licence data is used as supplementary identity proof on KYC flows under BFIU Master Circular guidance.
Four modules. One verification.

Match the face. Prove it's a real person..
Selfie confirmed live and matched against the ID portrait.
- Duplicate check: 1:N face search across existing users. Free.
- For higher-risk flows (a Bangladesh Bank-regulated scheduled bank, a Mobile Financial Service (MFS) provider opening a new bKash / Nagad / Rocket / Upay wallet, a BSEC-regulated broker), swap to an active liveness check that asks the user to turn or blink — $0.15 instead of $0.10.
- Selfie on any phone or laptop camera
- Mobile-handoff QR when the user starts on desktop
Screen for sanctions, PEPs, and adverse media.

- Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) Bangladesh — enforcement targets and debarred persons.
- Bureau of Anti-Corruption (Bangladesh) — predecessor enforcement register.

- Bangladesh Bank PEP references — persons of regulatory concern across scheduled banks and MFS providers.
- Anti-Terrorism Act 2009 Designated Entities — terrorist organisations and individuals designated under Bangladesh law.
- NCB Interpol Bangladesh — internationally wanted persons with Bangladesh red notices.
Severity-scored. Ongoing monitoring ($0.07/user/yr) re-checks daily and fires a webhook on new hits.

NID Wing cross-check ships through partner integration.
Bangladesh does not currently expose a public consumer-grade NID verification API to cross-border KYC vendors — the NID Wing's Porichoy service is licensed only to Bangladesh Bank-regulated entities and approved domestic Payment Service Operators under bilateral data-sharing agreements.
- The hosted flow already covers NID / Smart NID capture + OCR + biometric face-match against the document portrait — the operational baseline the BFIU Master Circular expects.
- Didit ships Database Validation for 40+ countries; if you hold a Porichoy / NID Wing integration as a Bangladesh Bank-regulated entity, the Enterprise tier includes BYO-source onboarding so the lookup runs inline with the rest of the verification flow.
