About

Sanctum Key is KYC and KYB verification built for Kenya first. The Android and iOS SDK reads the Kenyan national ID, including the barcode, and matches a selfie; the API, webhooks and dashboard add PEP and sanctions screening, case management, escalation and an audit trail your regulator will accept. A ready-made Android app lets a SACCO or lender start the same day without an integration project. Pricing is public and per check, with no platform fee.

AI Summary

Sanctum Key provides KYC and KYB verification for African fintechs, specifically designed for the Kenyan market. The solution includes an Android SDK for ID verification, PEP and sanctions screening, and offers a ready-made app for immediate use without integration.

A source that found nothing is a measurement. A source that has not run is a gap. Neither means the launch lacks the thing.
