Verified buyers, sellers and tenants for property transactions
Agencies, developers, property managers and notaries often have to take a party’s word for who they are. RDCPASS checks buyers, sellers, tenants and landlords against the national register. For high-value deals, it also gives you a documented anti-money-laundering file.
- Buyer, seller, tenant and landlord KYC
- Corporate parties verified with beneficial owners
- Sanctions and PEP screening on transactions

The challenges
Identity fraud in property deals
Fake owners sell land they do not hold, and tenants rent under borrowed names. Buyers and landlords pay for it.
Property attracts money laundering
Large purchases, often paid in cash or made through companies, are an easy place to hide where the money came from.
Companies hide who is behind a deal
When the buyer or seller is a company, the agent rarely knows who owns or controls it.
How RDCPASS helps
Buyer and seller KYC
Check each party to a sale against their certified identity, and use a selfie to confirm that the person signing is its holder.
Tenant and landlord verification
An estate agent can check a prospective tenant before handing over the keys, and confirm that the landlord they represent is who they claim to be.
Corporate buyers and sellers
Look companies up by RCCM, ID NAT or NIF and identify their officers and beneficial owners before the deal goes any further.
AML checks on transactions
Screen every party and beneficial owner against sanctions, PEP and adverse-media lists. On long-running deals, monitoring can stay on.

Frequently asked questions
Can we verify a buyer who lives abroad?+
Yes. KYC Validation confirms the certified identity from an RDCPASS ID or passport, and Face Recognition uses a selfie to confirm that the person on camera holds it. The buyer does not need to come in.
What if the buyer is a company?+
KYB Verification checks the company by RCCM, ID NAT or NIF and returns its officers and beneficial owners. You can then screen them with AML & CTF Screening.
Can we keep monitoring the parties to a long sale?+
Yes. AML & CTF Screening can monitor each party and alert you if their sanctions or PEP status changes before the deal closes.
Is RDCPASS suitable for a small agency?+
Yes. On Pay as you go you pay only for the checks you run, from a prepaid wallet topped up by M-Pesa, Orange Money, Airtel Money, card or bank transfer.
