Liveness
On-device action capture from Android, iOS, React Native, and Flutter SDKs. Server-side scoring returns a 1–100 liveness signal with structured detail.
Identity & risk infrastructure
KYC, liveness, and fraud signals — built for emerging markets.
TrueNorth is the API platform fintechs use to verify users, screen against local blacklists, and validate phone numbers across Nigeria, Ghana, and beyond.
Products
One API. Four product lines.
Face compare
Submit an ID photo together with a completed liveness session and receive cosine similarity against the best captured frame. Successful checks are billed per call.
WhatsApp validation
Confirm a phone number is registered on WhatsApp. Useful for messaging delivery, contactability scoring, and channel verification.
Blacklist screening
Hit-rate lookups against Nigerian and Ghanaian blacklists. Submit a hashed phone or national ID; receive a deterministic match decision.
Why TrueNorth
Designed for the way fintechs ship in West Africa.
Built for the region
Local blacklist coverage, BVN-aware hashing, country-specific phone normalization. We start where global vendors stop.
Mobile SDKs that compile
Native Android (AAR), iOS (XCFramework), React Native, and Flutter packages — versioned, signed, and pinned to a release artifact you can audit.
Operational by design
Per-request trace IDs, structured error codes, transparent billing records, and audit logs out of the box. No surprises in production.
Developers
One API key. Deterministic errors. Replayable traces.
Send one Bearer API key in the Authorization header. Every response carries a stable code and request trace so production issues stay easy to diagnose.
