How identity verification works in Madagascar.
- Fraud landscape
- Three pressures shape Malagasy identity fraud: deepfake and synthetic-ID attacks on mobile-money platforms and digital-banking expansion, CIN forgery across the older paper and newer biometric card formats, and cross-border AML risk on the Comoros, Mozambique, and Indian Ocean island corridors. Didit scores 200+ real-time fraud signals on every session — face morph, replay, injection, document tampering, device intelligence, IP geolocation.
- Compliance frameworks
- Law 2014-005 on Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing
- Law 2016-056 on Banking
- Decree 2015-1036 on AML/CFT implementation
- Madagascar Cybercrime Law 2014-006
- ESAAMLG Mutual Evaluation recommendations
- FATF 40 recommendations
