Lookup

Mono Lookup is a powerful identity verification and data validation solution designed to help businesses securely confirm user and business information in real time. It is part of Mono’s broader open banking infrastructure, which enables companies to access financial data, process payments, and verify identities across Africa. At its core, Mono Lookup is a suite of APIs that allows businesses to retrieve and validate information using identifiers such as Bank Verification Number (BVN), National Identification Number (NIN), account numbers, tax IDs, and more. This makes it particularly useful for Know Your Customer (KYC) and Know Your Business (KYB) processes, where verifying identity quickly and accurately is critical. One of its biggest advantages is speed and automation. Instead of manual verification that can take hours or days, Mono Lookup enables real-time checks, allowing businesses to onboard users faster while reducing fraud risk. It supports a wide range of verification endpoints, including BVN, CAC (business registration), TIN, driver’s license, passport, address verification, and even credit history lookup. Another key strength is its accuracy and compliance.
