Danaya is a SaaS compliance and identity verification platform for financial institutions and other regulated businesses in Côte d’Ivoire and BCEAO member states that need to meet KYC, KYB, and AML requirements.

Key capabilities include:

  • KYC identity verification using OCR on official identity documents (such as national ID cards and passports) and cross-checks against local and governmental databases.
  • KYB business verification for B2B onboarding using company documents like RCCM and DFE, plus verification of legal representatives via document and database checks.
  • AML screening to assess compliance risk with sanctions lists, PEP screening, and adverse media checks.
  • Face-match and liveness using facial recognition to compare selfies with ID documents and help reduce identity fraud.

Available on Web (app.danaya.africa), Android (Danaya mobile app), and via REST API with developer documentation, including Web & Mobile SDKs, webhooks, a sandbox, and integration guides.

It targets banks, fintechs, microfinance institutions, insurers, gaming and casino operators, real estate firms, notaries, and mobility and delivery companies that require compliant onboarding and verification workflows.

Notable in the Francophone African market context, the platform focuses on local compliance needs in Côte d’Ivoire and across BCEAO markets, combining document OCR with local database verification and AML screening for regulated onboarding.
