Question 1

What does Didit ship?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 2

How is Didit different from a single-product Know Your Customer (KYC) vendor?

Accepted Answer

**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, tourism, and remittance — the same architecture fits marketplaces, hospitality, and any vertical where you need to know who someone is and what they are doing.

Question 3

What does it cost? Is anything actually free?

Accepted Answer

**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.

Question 4

Which Cape Verdean regulator covers identity verification on a digital onboarding?

Accepted Answer

Three sit on top of every Cape Verdean identity-verification flow:

- **Banco de Cabo Verde (BCV)** — central bank and supervisor. Sets KYC and AML requirements for banks and payment-service providers under BCV Instruction No. 1/2018 and the underlying **Law 31/VIII/2013 on AML/CFT**.
- **UIF Cabo Verde** — Financial Intelligence Unit. Receives Suspicious Transaction Reports under **Law 31/VIII/2013**.
- **GIABA** — the West Africa FATF-style regional body. Cape Verde is a full member; GIABA mutual evaluations guide the AML/CFT compliance standard every regulated entity must meet.

Personal-data handling is governed by the **Lei n.º 133/V/2001 on Data Protection** (as amended), enforced by the CNPD.

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

Question 5

How does Didit handle verification for the large Cape Verdean diaspora?

Accepted Answer

**The diaspora flow routes through the same hosted session as in-country users — no separate integration needed.**

The Cape Verdean diaspora — predominantly in Portugal, the Netherlands, France, and the United States — presents Cape Verdean Bilhetes de Identidade and passports as their primary identity documents. Didit:

- Captures and OCR-parses Cape Verdean BIs and passports (MRZ + chip read on e-Passports) on any device, globally.
- Runs Active Liveness + Face Match to anchor the session to a live biometric regardless of where the user is located.
- Screens against 1,300+ global lists including GIABA, FATF, UN Security Council, and OFAC SDN sources.

The same `POST /v3/session/` endpoint and workflow handles both in-country and diaspora users — no country-specific configuration needed.

Question 6

How long does it take to integrate Didit in Cape Verde?

Accepted Answer

**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 Cape Verde stack at zero cost before flipping production traffic.

Question 7

Which language does the hosted verification flow use for Cape Verdean users?

Accepted Answer

**Portuguese — auto-detected from the user's browser / device locale.** The hosted UI ships in 48+ languages; Cape Verdean users land on Portuguese by default (the sole official language), with Cape Verdean Creole support available through the Portuguese flow.

The document-recognition layer is decoupled from the UI layer — capture works in any language, and the admin console can be set independently to whichever language your compliance team prefers.

Question 8

What does the Cape Verde verification cost end-to-end?

Accepted Answer

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 Cape Verde surcharge. **500 verifications free every month**, no credit card.
