How identity verification works in Ecuador.
- Fraud landscape
- Three pressures shape Ecuadorian identity fraud: deepfake and synthetic-Cédula attacks on the SB-licensed digital wallets and cooperatives that drove rapid financial inclusion through DeUna! and similar rails, Cédula document forgery across the chip and legacy formats, and AML pressure on the dollarised cash-remittance corridors. Didit scores 200+ real-time fraud signals on every session — face morph, replay, injection, document tampering, device intelligence, IP geolocation.
- Compliance frameworks
- Ley Orgánica de Prevención, Detección y Erradicación del Delito de Lavado de Activos
- LOPDP (Ley Orgánica de Protección de Datos Personales, 2021)
- JPRF Resolución 011-2014-F (CDD)
- Código Orgánico Monetario y Financiero
