Our verdict on Pruva

Pruva provides identity and business verification through an API for businesses onboarding customers in African markets. Its checks query national registries for identifiers including Nigeria’s NIN and BVN, Ghana’s Ghana Card and Kenya’s KRA PIN. The product also covers face matching, liveness checks, document capture and AML screening. It is suited to teams that need registry-backed verification in these markets and can integrate an API; teams seeking a standalone verification interface should look elsewhere.

The workflow spans individual and business checks. Document capture includes OCR and expiry validation, while results include field-level match status and confidence. Pruva also checks faces against registry-held photos, applies liveness and spoof checks, and screens sanctions, PEP records and adverse media. Business verification includes director identity checks. Developers can test in a sandbox and receive verification events through webhooks. This breadth can support onboarding flows that need identity, business and compliance checks in one API, rather than a narrow document-only workflow.

The published plans show pay-as-you-go billing per verification, with a full sandbox, unlimited API keys, webhooks, real-time events and community support; rates are confirmed before going live. The custom plan adds volume discounts, negotiated per-product rates, dedicated infrastructure and an SLA, compliance reporting and audit logs, SAML SSO, role-based access and priority support with a named SLA. Smaller teams can start with the per-verification model, while organizations needing those controls or support commitments should consider custom terms. Pruva’s API-only format makes it a less natural fit for buyers who want a product operated through a standalone interface.
