OKIAS review
Low-cost KYC API combining document, liveness, face-match and sanctions checks.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
OKIAS is an identity verification API for businesses adding KYC checks to onboarding and other user flows. It is aimed at developers and enterprise teams that need document authenticity checks, extracted identity data, active liveness challenges, selfie-to-document face matching and sanctions screening. Teams can use a hosted verification flow or capture documents and selfies in their own interface, then receive results through the API and signed webhooks. A manual review queue, risk scores and decision reason codes support borderline decisions.
The published pricing uses one usage-based plan, Pay as you go, at $0.15 per approved full KYC verification. One credit covers each approved verification, while declined, review and errored checks are not charged. New accounts receive 100 free credits, which is a finite credit allotment rather than an unlimited free plan. This structure suits teams that want to align spend with successful approvals, while monthly budgeting will depend on approval volume.
Integration options cover a hosted flow, embeddable SDK and REST API, with signed webhooks and idempotency support for application workflows. Verification includes MRZ and country-specific identity-number validation, document authenticity and tamper detection, active liveness with presentation-attack detection, and screening against OFAC, EU, UN and UK sanctions lists. OKIAS fits organizations seeking a focused, low-cost verification layer across web and API channels. Teams needing broader ecosystem coverage or support beyond email and documentation may prefer a provider with a wider operating scope.
