Southeast Asia is rapidly becoming one of the most dynamic digital economies in the world, driven by modern national digital identity infrastructure. Today, we're excited to announce that Hopae Connect is deepening its reach in the region by launching support for two major national identity rails: the Philippines National ID and Indonesia's NIK with Biometric Matching.
With a single integration, Hopae Connect customers can now instantly verify over 280 million identities across Southeast Asia’s two largest populations.
Philippine National ID
Coverage: 90M+ holders
Format Support: Physical cards, paper IDs, and digital formats
The foundational national identity credential in the Philippine National ID provides trusted identification across public and private sectors. Hopae Connect now enables seamless automated verification for any Filipino holding a physical card, paper ID, or digital credential.
How it works: By scanning the official QR code located on the ID, Hopae Connect extracts and verifies the holder's authoritative personal data directly, confirming card authenticity and eliminating manual document reviews.
Indonesia NIK + Biometric Match
Coverage: 190M+ individuals
Assurance Level: High-assurance identity binding via facial biometric match
The Nomor Induk Kependudukan (NIK) serves as Indonesia's universal national identification number, underpinning banking, employment, and government services.
How it works: Hopae Connect validates key attributes—including name, date of birth, and NIK number—against official government records. To ensure the highest level of security, Hopae Connect pairs attribute validation with a selfie-to-reference facial match. This upgrades verification from simple data validation to true biometric identity binding, mitigating fraud and impersonation risks.
One API, Global Identity Reach
Expanding into new international markets traditionally required navigating fragmented vendor ecosystems and building custom integrations for every country. Hopae Connect changes that paradigm.
By unifying global identity rails into a single standardized API, Hopae Connect drastically reduces engineering overhead while expanding your global market reach.
280M+ new identities unlocked across the Philippines and Indonesia
Zero added friction for existing Hopae Connect integrations
