AML and PEP screening,
worldwide, in one call.
Screen people and companies against global sanctions lists, PEP databases, watchlists and adverse media in every jurisdiction. Runs standalone or inside your KYC and KYB flows, with ongoing monitoring. €0.50 per screening.
Why it matters
Screening is a legal obligation, not an option.
AML directives apply to you
Banks, fintechs, crypto providers, law firms, notaries and many other obliged entities must screen customers under AMLD4/5/6 and FATF-aligned national laws, before and during the relationship.
Lists change daily
Sanctions regimes are updated continuously. A customer who was clean at onboarding can appear on an EU, UN or OFAC list tomorrow; one-off checks are not enough.
False positives cost hours
Naive name matching floods compliance teams with false alerts. Smart, transliteration-aware matching keeps review queues manageable without missing true hits.
How it works
Four steps from name to cleared file.
1. Identify the subject
Screening uses the verified identity from KYC or KYB, or standalone input: name, date of birth, nationality or company details, so matches are precise.
2. Screen every list
One call checks global sanctions lists (UN, EU, OFAC, UK HMT and more), PEP databases at all levels, enforcement watchlists and adverse media.
3. Review scored matches
Potential matches are scored and explained: which list, which name variant, what evidence. Clear-cut cases can be auto-resolved by policy.
4. Monitor continuously
Enable ongoing monitoring and WeVerify re-screens your customers as lists change, alerting you only when something new appears.

Transliteration-aware matching
Fuzzy matching across scripts, Latin, Cyrillic, Arabic and more, with scoring that reduces false positives without missing true hits.
Audit-ready reports
Every screening produces a timestamped, sealed report of the lists checked, matches found and resolutions, ready for your regulator.
Compliance
Built for obliged entities.
AMLD4/5/6 aligned
Screening and record-keeping match the customer due diligence and ongoing monitoring duties of the EU anti-money-laundering directives.
