Identity infrastructure for African operators

Verify once.
Trust every time.

Sahihisha gives gaming and fintech operators in Africa one API for document checks, liveness, and watchlist screening — built to hold up under a regulator's eye.

The process

Four steps from ID to verdict

Sahihisha runs document, liveness, and screening checks in sequence — automatically, and in the order a compliance officer would expect.

01 / CAPTURE

Capture

A customer submits a national ID, passport, or Omang plus a live selfie through your app or our hosted flow.

02 / CROSS-CHECK

Cross-check

Document authenticity, face match, and liveness run automatically against the submission.

03 / SCREEN

Screen

Watchlist and politically-exposed-person screening runs across the relevant jurisdictions.

04 / SIGN-OFF

Sign-off

A verdict — verified, review, or declined — returns through the API in seconds, evidence attached.

What's inside

Everything a KYC review needs, called once

Built from the checks an African gaming or fintech compliance team actually runs — not a generic global template.

Document verification

IDs, and passports, checked for tampering and authenticity.

Liveness & face match

A live selfie is matched against the ID photo to stop stolen and synthetic identities.

Watchlist & PEP screening

Automatic checks against sanctions and politically-exposed-person lists.

Real-time API

Integrate once, verify in seconds — no manual queues on your side.

Audit trail built in

Every check is timestamped, stored, and formatted for a regulator's review.

Multi-market from day one

African coverage without a separate integration per country.

Built for regulated operators

Sahihisha is designed around the compliance expectations of gaming and fintech operators — not retrofitted onto a generic verification tool.

Records are retained with full provenance: who was checked, when, against which lists, and what the system decided — structured so your compliance team can produce it on request.

Data handling follows the international principles of Data Protection Acts and the equivalent expectations in all countries, with jurisdiction-aware retention rules per market.
