Porichoy pioneered eKYC in Bangladesh and remains the reference for pure NID lookup. Teams outgrow it the moment they need liveness at scale, sanctions screening, or a developer-first workflow with a real sandbox.
KYC.bd is a full identity + AML + audit stack behind one endpoint. Porichoy is an NID API you compose the rest around.

Best fit for KYC.bd
Teams that need identity + liveness + AML + audit in one integration, priced in BDT.
When Porichoy is the better call
