March was an engaging month for our Product and Engineering teams, as we engaged in some key product developments, ensuring that we continuously solve the needs of our customers and businesses across emerging markets. This month, we bring you massive updates in background checks.
Our March product update edition has some exciting updates, including new endpoints, data sets, and other significant product enhancements, and we are thrilled to share all the latest developments with you. Let’s dive right in.
NEW ENDPOINTS ON IDENTITYPASS:
Introducing Nira Ugandan Identity Verification Endpoint
Big News for businesses operating in Uganda. We’ve released our Nira Ugandan ID Verification Endpoint, enhancing your ability to conduct secure and reliable transactions in Uganda. With this new endpoint, you can verify the status of Ugandan identity numbers with unprecedented ease and accuracy, using basic information like name, date of birth, document ID, and national IDs.
Kenyan Business Ownership Verification Endpoint
Introducing our advanced Kenyan Business Ownership Verification Endpoint. This feature enables you to verify a business’s registration number by cross-referencing it with the Kenyan Business Registration Service (BRS). With this endpoint, you can reliably confirm the accuracy and legitimacy of a company’s registration information, preventing the onboarding of incorrect or fraudulent businesses.
To use this, kindly log in to your dashboard, click on business verification, and select Kenya and business ownership check.
New Documentation Page Layout Now Live!
We’re thrilled to introduce a fresh, streamlined approach to our documentation page. Our team has revamped the layout to provide a smoother, more intuitive experience. Now, you’ll find guides organized by regions (APAC, EMEA, NA, and LATAM), making navigating our solutions and endpoints more accessible.
We’re eager to hear your feedback on these improvements!
API Pricing Now Available On Your Dashboard
We’ve made an exciting update based on valuable feedback from our customers regarding the ease of accessing our pricing information! We’ve introduced a dedicated pricing section directly within the Identitypass dashboard. You can find the pricing details for all our endpoints, including our global offerings.
To check it out, head to the subscriptions tab and select ‘pricing.’ We’re confident this enhancement will make your experience even smoother and more transparent.
