Identity verification (KYC) for banks in Côte d’Ivoire and the WAEMU zone

Supported identity documents

• Côte d’Ivoire: biometric national ID card (CNI), passport, driving licence, residence card, CNAM (CMU) health card and proof of address.
• Senegal, Burkina Faso, Mali, Guinea, Togo, Benin, Niger and Ghana: national ID card and passport.
• Any country: passports and documents with an ICAO 9303 machine-readable zone (MRZ), whatever the issuing country.

The checks run on every file

• AI field extraction and MRZ reading, with the visual zone cross-checked against the MRZ.
• MRZ check digits and the document number format, where the country allows it.
• Face match between the selfie (or the video) and the document photo.
• Liveness: challenge-response in the browser with nothing to install, or video from the mobile app.
• Reading the electronic chip (NFC) of Ivorian passports and residence cards from the mobile app: the chip photo is used for the face match.
• Detection of tampering, recompression and documents seen before.
• Sanctions screening (UN, OFAC, European Union, United Kingdom) and politically exposed persons.

Your analyst makes the decision

Every file arrives with a risk score and the reasoning behind it: which check passed, which failed and why. The analyst approves, rejects or asks for more.

Every access and every decision is written to a hash-chained audit trail that your auditors and the authorities can read back.

In the browser, in your app or by API

Customers can verify from their phone’s browser. A mobile SDK adds auto-capture, NFC chip reading and video liveness. An API plugs Verita into your existing account-opening journey.
