With this service, the calling apps can KYC a customer's generic ID number and specify the ID type. This service will only return a True/False match of the supplied customer details if it matches what is saved against their ID correctly. If authorization details are required by a provider, apps will have to provide this. OnePipe will in turn forward to the provider’s dedicated implementation.

This services basically just determines if the details passed for an ID match what is on record for that ID.

Commercial model

At agreed settlement cycles, the host will debit the configured beneficiary account of the app for the use of this API and share that fee with all participants. Fees will be determined by the provider.

Special configuration notes

OTP override: All providers of this service should implement OTP, but support the configuration of otp_override such that based on this configuration, they could be instructed to bypass the OTP requirement for an app.
SMS handling: All providers that need to execute OTP validation can use the Send SMS and Send Email services on OnePipe to send their OTP.
