How identity verification works in Singapore.
- Fraud landscape
- Three pressures shape Singapore identity fraud: deepfake and synthetic-NRIC attacks on the wave of MAS-licensed digital banks (Trust Bank, GXS, MariBank, ANEXT, Green Link), Singpass-credential-theft scams targeting onboarding flows, and Digital Payment Token Service Provider (DPTSP) onboarding pressure as MAS hardens crypto-exchange supervision under Payment Services Act amendments. Didit scores 200+ real-time fraud signals on every session — face morph, replay, injection, document tampering, device intelligence, IP geolocation.
- Compliance frameworks
- MAS Notice 626 (Banks — AML/CFT)
- MAS Notice 824 (Payment Institutions — AML/CFT)
- MAS Notice PS-N02 (DPTSP — AML/CFT)
- CDSA (Corruption, Drug Trafficking & Other Serious Crimes Act)
- Personal Data Protection Act 2012 (PDPA)
- Payment Services Act 2019
- FATF 40 recommendations
