AMANI

What AMANI does

Amani Ai is a Dubai-headquartered, privately-held identity verification and biometrics platform founded in 2019 that consolidates the full KYC, KYB, and AML compliance workflow into a single proprietary stack. The company serves regulated enterprises—primarily crypto exchanges, banks, and fintechs in Türkiye and the broader EMEA region (Anadolubank and CoinTR are named customers)—and is expanding into UK Right to Rent, gig economy, gaming, and DNFBP verticals. Amani's product portfolio spans nine modules: Amani Veritas (automated IDV onboarding suite), Amani Vida (468-point 3D biometrics and passive liveness detection), Amani Video (agent-assisted WebRTC video KYC), Amani Vista (AML sanctions/PEP/adverse-media screening), Phone & Email Verification, Address Verification, Amani e-Sign, Bulk Upload & Data Migration, and Amani Studio (the central client portal). Underlying capabilities are 100% in-house, covering 13,000+ document types across 247 countries and 138 languages, with disclosed technical benchmarks of 99.8% fraud detection accuracy and a face liveness False Match Rate of 1/8,000,000 at 98.8% success rate. Certifications include UK DIATF (IDSP), PAS 1296:2018, NIST, GDPR, and PCI Level 1.

The business is monetized through per-transaction verification fees (approximately $1 per verification versus $2-3 for many competitors) and annual enterprise packages with volume-based pricing between 10,000 and 1 million verifications; SMBs receive a three-month free trial. Distribution combines a direct enterprise field-sales motion with an API-first/PLG developer motion supported by SDKs across Android, iOS, Flutter, and React Native, plus a partner presence on GitHub. Amani operates from a DIFC Innovation Hub headquarters in Dubai and a regional office in Istanbul, targeting both EMEA expansion and selected APAC markets including Singapore and Hong Kong. The company is founder/management-owned with no disclosed external funding rounds and an 11-50 employee headcount.
