We are excited to bring you the latest updates from Prembly! Our team has been working diligently to introduce new verification endpoints, features, and improvements including expanding our verification capabilities across new regions and refining existing endpoints for better performance. Let’s get straight into all the details.
On Newly Launched Endpoints
We are thrilled to announce our newly deployed Zambian National ID verification endpoint! This seamless and secure tool allows you to verify customers using their national ID numbers effortlessly. With just a few clicks, you can now onboard any customer in Zambia, ensuring a smooth and efficient customer journey.

We just launched our Kenyan Individual Credit Reference Bureau Check endpoint, designed to take your credit assessments to the next level! With this endpoint, you can now easily confirm an individual’s credit history and repayment behaviour, allowing you to evaluate their creditworthiness more accurately.
In addition to launching major endpoints in July, we have dedicated time to ensure that our existing endpoints are running smoothly, meeting the speed and efficiency required for your business and identity checks. Here’s a summary of our updates:
To enhance clarity and user-friendliness, we have updated the names of several phone number-related endpoints:
- Phone Number Intelligence UK -> Phone Number Basic
- SIM Verification MTN Uganda -> Phone Number Basic
- SIM Verification South Africa -> Phone Number Basic
- SIM Verification Ghana -> Phone Number Basic
- Phone Number Status Check for Malta, Netherlands, Cyprus, UK, Germany, USA, Switzerland, India, Brazil, Portugal -> Phone Number Advanced
- Indonesian Phone Verification -> Phone Number Basic
- Phone Number Verification China -> Phone Number Basic
We’ve enhanced the nationality display on the business ownership report to reflect “Kenyan” for citizens and “Not Available” for non-citizens, replacing the previous “only valid citizenship details” response on the BRS endpoint.
Enhanced “Record Not Found” Response
In response to your feedback, we have improved the “record not found” response on the dashboard. It now provides more detailed information, making it easier for you to understand why a data response couldn’t be retrieved for any checks you run. We hope this update enhances your daily operations.
In the coming weeks, we will be deploying five new endpoints to support your expansion into the Tanzanian market. With these, verifying your Tanzanian customers and businesses will become simpler than ever with the following identifiers:
- Tanzania National ID
- Business Check-in Tanzania
- Phone Number Tanzania
- Zanzibar Resident ID
- Zanzibar & Tanzania Voters ID
New Updates On Identityradar
Recently, we launched new solutions to ensure that your transactions are secure and that your users’ or customers’ accounts remain protected from malicious actors. To help you meet these security needs, we have added the following products to our suite of security tools:
Sustain Compliance With our UFLPA Entity List Integration
This check integrates the Homeland Security List, specifically focusing on entities involved in forced labor as defined by the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act (UFLPA). With this, you can ensure that your customers or any individual onboarding on your platform complies with UFLPA regulations and avoids associating with entities flagged for forced labor practices.
Now Available! US Uyghur Forced Labor Sanctioned Security Checks
We released our Sanctioned Security Checks for the US market. This allows you to identify and avoid transactions involving sanctioned securities linked to forced labor under the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act. It ensures that your business stays compliant with US regulations and prevents the risk of financial penalties or reputational damage associated with engaging in transactions with these entities.
Now Live: PEP Transparency Portal from the General Controller of the Union
We are pleased to inform you that our PEP Transparency Portal is now available. This check provides access to a transparency portal that includes information on Politically Exposed Persons (PEPs). Specifically, it features data from the General Controller of the Union, helping you identify individuals with significant political influence who may pose a higher transaction risk. With this, you can easily enhance your due diligence processes by offering detailed insights into PEPs, enabling you to make informed decisions and mitigate potential risks.
New Background Checks Feature Update: Kenyan Candidates Can Now Pay via M-Pesa
We’re excited to introduce a powerful new feature that gives merchants greater flexibility and convenience in managing background check requests. Now, you can enable your candidates to cover the cost of their background checks with just the toggle of a button!
This feature is currently available exclusively through M-Pesa, making it a seamless option for businesses operating in Kenya. Simply toggle the option on your dashboard, and candidates will be able to make payments directly through M-Pesa, enabling a faster and more efficient background check process.
