What is KYC onboarding?
KYC onboarding (know your customer) means verifying who a new customer is before their account opens. Monnai does it from what people already type: a phone number, an email, and details checked against official records where available, before any document or selfie.
How can we verify new customers without documents?
Check the details they type against the records that hold them. Government KYC uses official and regulated identity records; Consumer KYC uses credit, utility and public records. Each detail comes back as match, partial or no match, with nothing to upload.
Can a stolen identity pass a KYC check?
Yes. A real ID number in the wrong hands still matches the record, because every detail is real. Mobile KYC asks what the record can’t: is the phone number registered to the person on the ID? The mobile operator’s records answer, with nothing for your customer to do.
Why do real customers fail KYC checks?
Often because of messy data, not fraud: a missing accent, a shortened street name, two surnames in a different order. Monnai cleans names and addresses before matching, and shows a partial match as partial, so fewer good customers are rejected for a typo.
Which countries do Monnai’s KYC checks cover?
Government KYC checks official records in 10 countries on four continents today, through one API. Mobile KYC and Consumer KYC go country by country, where the records exist. Phone, email and digital footprint insights cover 200+ countries, filling the gaps where records are missing.
