Beneficiary registration and payouts checked against the national register
Cash-transfer programmes lose money when the same person registers twice under different names. With RDCPASS, international institutions, NGOs and their implementing partners check each beneficiary against the national register at registration, so a second attempt is caught before anything is paid. Each distribution leaves a record you can show donors.
- Beneficiaries registered against the national identity
- Duplicate registrations caught before payment
- Vetting of staff and partners

The challenges
Duplicate registrations drain budgets
Someone enrolled under two names, or at two sites, collects support twice. Other households get less as a result.
Proving who received support
Donors expect evidence that each transfer reached a real, eligible person. Lists and signatures rarely provide it.
Partner and diversion risk
Programmes run through local partners, suppliers and staff. Each of them has to be screened against sanctions lists and confirmed as legitimate.
How RDCPASS helps
Beneficiary registration and deduplication
Each beneficiary is checked against the national identity when they register. The same person cannot then be enrolled again under another name or at another site.
Verified cash transfers and distributions
At the distribution point, or inside the mobile-money flow, a live face match confirms that the person collecting is the registered beneficiary.
Face identification where no ID is presented
Where a beneficiary cannot present an identifier, 1:N face identification can find their certified identity. It is reserved for justified cases and requires enhanced due diligence.
Staff, partner and supplier vetting
Verify implementing partners and suppliers by RCCM, ID NAT or NIF. Organisations and individuals can also be screened against sanctions and PEP lists.

Frequently asked questions
How does RDCPASS stop duplicate beneficiaries?+
Each beneficiary is checked against the national identity at registration. Every person has one certified identity, so the same individual cannot be enrolled a second time under another name or at another site.
Can we verify an existing beneficiary list?+
Yes. Submit beneficiary identifiers in batches of up to 10,000 records. Each is confirmed against the national identity, and duplicates are flagged before the next payment cycle.
What about beneficiaries who have no document with them?+
In justified cases, 1:N face identification can find a person’s certified identity from a live photo. It requires enhanced due diligence, and every request must state a reason, which is audited.
How are programmes billed?+
Either fund a prepaid wallet for each programme, or take the Enterprise plan with one monthly invoice in USD or CDF. Building and testing in the sandbox is free.
