About Onfido
Onfido technology is now part of Entrust Identity Verification. Its document and biometric services can assess an identity document and compare the person presenting it with the document. Confirm the exact product, API version and checks enabled under your provider agreement.
For a remittance operator this is usually the onboarding check that sits at customer sign-up. It is a different kind of control from ongoing sanctions and PEP screening, which continues throughout the relationship — most operators need both.

How Remitz integrates Onfido
Confirm supported services and connector status during scoping. Existing compatible connections can reduce development work; your quotation identifies included configuration, testing and any additional development. Provider fees are separate.
For an agreed implementation, you supply your provider credentials through the agreed secure process. Remitz configures supported connections and tests the launch scope with you, including rejected requests, status updates and reconciliation records. New API services may require additional development.
Remitz does not resell, introduce or provide Onfido services. You hold the commercial relationship with Onfido directly, complete their onboarding and due diligence, and supply your own API credentials.
Remitz connects those credentials to a connector that is already built and already running in production for other operators — which is why this step is configuration rather than development. See step six of the launch process for where it sits in the timeline.

Bring your provider shortlist, target services and launch requirements. We will discuss compatibility and identify what needs technical validation or a separate quotation. Provider onboarding and approval remain outside Remitz’s control.
