Introduction

thibit is Mozambique-first KYC/KYB verification as a service. You send a person to a hosted verification, and thibit reads their ID document, checks it for tampering, matches their selfie to the document photo, and returns a decision — accept, deny, or flag for review — with the per-check evidence.

It is engine-only and API-first. There is no case-management console and no workflow builder: compliance is served by webhooks plus a read-only verification log in the developer portal. You decide what a verification accepts; thibit runs it and tells you the result.

The two faces

thibit has exactly two integration surfaces:

  • Integrator API (/v1) — your backend creates a verification and gets back a hosted onboarding_url. You decide the accepted documents (country + type), send the link to your user, and receive the verdict by webhook or by polling.
  • Hosted onboarding — your user opens the link on their phone, captures the documents you allowed, and takes a selfie. They never need a thibit account.

The developer determines the surface; the applicant just follows the link.

Who it is for

  • The integrator (primary) — a developer at a fintech, marketplace, lender, or prop-tech app who wants a sandbox key, a clear /v1 API, and a working example in well under an hour.
  • The applicant — completes the hosted verification on their phone; no account.

What it verifies

  • Documents — Mozambican Bilhete de Identidade and DIRE (format-aware templates), and passports + national IDs from ~any country via ICAO 9303 MRZ check-digits and per-country number validation.
  • Authenticity — EXIF/metadata, Error-Level-Analysis, and pixel forensics.
  • Liveness — selfie-to-document face match.
