An Identity Verification API is a real-time tool that enables secure, automated verification of individual or business identities. These APIs simplify digital onboarding and help verify government-issued IDs like Aadhaar, PAN, Passport, Voter ID, and more—while ensuring compliance with KYC, AML, and CDD regulations. Protean RISE offers 100+ regulated APIs built for high-assurance identity verification across sectors.

Protean RISE streamlines onboarding by automating KYC workflows via APIs like Aadhaar e-KYC, PAN Verification, CKYC, and DigiLocker integration. It reduces documentation errors, improves turnaround time, and ensures regulatory compliance—enabling seamless onboarding across BFSI, NBFC, gaming, and eCommerce platforms.

Face Authentication APIs use AI-based facial recognition and deep learning models to match and verify identities in real time. Liveness Detection adds an extra layer to ensure the person is physically present—protecting against deepfakes and spoof attacks.

Penny Drop API validates the beneficiary’s bank account by initiating a ₹1 transaction. It verifies account status, IFSC accuracy, and ownership—essential for fraud prevention in digital lending and onboarding.

With DigiLocker integration, users can share Aadhaar and KYC documents digitally. It eliminates the need for physical document submission, speeding up onboarding while maintaining full compliance.

Manual KYC methods lead to documentation errors, delays, higher costs, and security risks. Protean RISE replaces this with automated workflows that reduce TAT by 50% and costs by up to 85%.

Protean RISE APIs for KYB validate businesses using GSTIN, Udyam (MSME), CIN/DIN, and PAN. These APIs are ideal for partner onboarding, credit underwriting, and B2B transactions.
