About SectID

SectID is an Africa-focused compliance platform for banks, fintechs, SACCOs, payment service providers, telcos, and government teams running customer onboarding and AML compliance operations.
Key capabilities include:
- KYC identity verification with document capture, liveness checks, and biometric matching, including support for Kenyan, Ugandan, Rwandan, and Nigerian IDs.
- KYB business onboarding with registry lookups, UBO traversal, and beneficial ownership disclosure (local business registers where available).
- Sanctions, PEP, and adverse-media screening with match scoring plus case routing for reviews and escalations.
- Transaction monitoring with configurable rules, suspicious-activity alerts, and SAR packaging.
Applicants can submit documents via a hosted link, SDK, or REST API. The risk engine can recommend approve, review, or reject with rule attribution; the platform records actions in an append-only audit log and supports consent logs, DSR workflows, retention enforcement, and regulator-ready exports.
Available via Web dashboard and a versioned REST API, with TypeScript, React Native, iOS, and Android SDKs, plus HMAC-SHA256 signed webhooks and a sandbox mode.
Designed for regulated African onboarding and compliance teams that need a single workflow for KYC, KYB, AML screening, case management, and audit evidence. It is notable for its Africa-first positioning, including jurisdiction-aware routing for identity, registry, and storage providers, and a compliance artifact pack referenced for regulators such as CBK, ODPC, and CMA. SectID provides compliance technology and decision support; final regulatory responsibility remains with the customer.
