Screen once, against every list.
One search checks a person or company against the UK, UN, OFAC and EU sanctions lists, the PEP data and HMRC’s deliberate tax defaulters. For a company, everyone behind it is screened too.
- People and companies
- Screen either by name, date of birth, nationality and country. One-off checks, or batches of up to 500 from a spreadsheet.
- Directors and beneficial owners
- Add directors, shareholders and beneficial owners with their ownership percentages. Each is screened and monitored, and their results count in the company’s risk rating (reg 28(4)).
- A date of birth rules out namesakes
- Someone who shares a name with a listed person, but not their date of birth, isn’t flagged. Fewer innocent customers end up in review.
- A risk rating from the facts
- Low, medium or high, built from country risk (FATF lists), PEP status, screening results, adverse information, sector, onboarding channel and ownership. It flags when enhanced due diligence is required.
- Adverse information
- HMRC’s deliberate tax defaulters are checked automatically. A guided adverse media check runs the searches a supervisor expects (news, court judgments, insolvency, regulator registers, Companies House) and records the outcome.
- A certificate for the file
- Every screening can produce a certificate showing what was checked, against which list versions, and the result.

You can screen on a name alone, but a date of birth makes a large difference. In our benchmark, ordinary names screened with a date of birth were flagged for review 6.5% of the time, against 12% by name alone.
No. It doesn’t verify passports or driving licences, run biometrics or verify addresses. Use it alongside an ID verification provider.
Yes. The REST API lets you screen one customer or a batch with scoped, rate-limited API keys, and signed webhooks tell your systems when a screening completes or a case changes.
