ThisIsMe

ThisIsMe offers a comprehensive suite of identity verification and compliance services, built around a powerful 'ecosystem' of over 45 solutions. Key offerings include FICA Express for one-click compliance, robust Identity and Address Verification, and Bank AVS for fraud mitigation and account detail validation. They also provide crucial PEP and Sanctions screening, Business Verification against CIPC data, and newly launched services for verifying refugees/asylum seekers via NIIS data and leveraging SAFPS fraud intelligence. These services enable end-to-end customer onboarding, ongoing AML monitoring, and dynamic risk rating, all designed to ensure businesses meet regulatory requirements and secure transactions efficiently.

ThisIsMe targets a broad spectrum of businesses, from small enterprises navigating FICA compliance for the first time to large institutions with complex regulatory demands. Their solutions are particularly valuable for industries such as Banking, Insurance, Payments, Forex, iGaming, Wealth Management, Crypto, Real Estate, Legal, Motor Vehicle Dealers, and High-Value Goods Dealers, all of whom face stringent KYC and AML obligations. The platform is designed to alleviate pain points related to fraud, manual onboarding processes, and compliance audits, allowing businesses to streamline operations, reduce customer drop-off, and increase revenue.

To facilitate seamless integration into diverse business workflows, ThisIsMe provides a customizable API for automated operations. This allows enterprises to integrate verification services directly into their customer onboarding, payment, lending, and claims systems for real-time screening. For clients with lower volume needs or those conducting manual reviews and investigations, the full service ecosystem with over 45 services is accessible via their web-based Partners Platform. Additionally, for managing large datasets and meeting re-screening obligations, ThisIsMe offers Batch Data Services to process client databases efficiently.

Compliance is at the core of ThisIsMe's offerings, with a strong emphasis on meeting South Africa's FICA (Financial Intelligence Centre Act) and international AML/CFT (Anti-Money Laundering / Countering the Financing of Terrorism) requirements. The company guarantees the use of 'high-quality, universally respected data' to ensure successful FIC audits and avoid non-compliance fines. Their AML solutions are powered by Acuris, a reputable data provider, ensuring adherence to the highest international standards. Furthermore, ThisIsMe acknowledges local data protection regulations like POPI (Protection of Personal Information Act) and PAIA (Promotion of Access to Information Act) in its legal framework, and its proprietary technology is protected by multiple registered patents in South Africa.

ThisIsMe operates on a flexible pricing model, primarily offering pay-as-you-go services with clearly defined per-check rates for its core offerings. For example, FICA Express is priced at R22.00 per check, Identity Verification at R15.60, PEP and Sanctions at R7.80, and Bank AVS at R4.40. The company also provides discounted pricing options for bulk data services and through its API. For larger enterprises or specific compliance demands, custom solutions and more favorable 'Partners Plus' agreements are available, indicating a tiered approach to cater to different business scales and needs.

ThisIsMe distinguishes itself through its comprehensive and localized '45+ service ecosystem' tailored specifically for the South African regulatory landscape, including pioneering solutions for FICA compliance digitalization. They offer market-leading pricing across their services, making advanced identity verification accessible to a wider range of businesses. Unique features like NIIS-powered verification for refugees and immigrants, and SAFPS fraud intelligence integration, provide unparalleled depth in customer due diligence and fraud prevention. The company's decade-long experience and commitment to 'accessibility' for newly regulated industries further solidify its position as a complete and trusted partner in anti-financial crime.
