Sahl Connect
Two ways in. Your customer links their bank account or wallet and authorises at their own institution, or you send the statements and payslips and Sahl OCR reads them. Credentials never reach us.

Verification
Income and identity confirmed against live bank transactions rather than a document a browser can edit. 98.5% accuracy.

Coverage
85+ Financial Institutions
Banks, mobile wallets and financial services across MENA and Africa, through one integration.
Built for how the region actually banks
Uneven bank coverage
What a bank returns varies by institution. The API normalises the response and tells you which fields it actually got, so you are never guessing at a gap.
Documents, not just connections
Where an institution is not reachable by API, Sahl OCR reads the statement or payslip directly and returns the same structured fields. Across much of the region that is the only route, so it is built as a first path rather than a consolation.
Multi-Language Support
Consent flows and reports in English, French and Arabic.
