    KYC onboarding · €0.39 per check

    Screen a new customer for €0.39, criminal watchlists included.

    Criminal and wanted-person lists are an add-on almost everywhere else, and most vendors will not tell you what a check costs until you have sat through a sales call. We run 51 sanctions sources, 16 criminal watchlists and a PEP domain of 750,000+ records from 134 public sources in the same €0.39 check. The run is stored as a point-in-time PDF and never recalculated when a list moves.

    Evidence 1 — Sanctions screen

    p. 02 / 08

    51 sanctions sources. Zero hits. The easy half.

    A Quick Check runs 51 sanctions sources in one pass — OFAC, EU, UN, UK, DFAT, SECO, Canada and the national and sectoral lists behind them. Al-Rashid Trading FZE matches none of them. The exhibit shows ten of the fifty-one.

    "No sanctions match. The ownership chain and the media are where this case turns."

    Who really owns this company?

    Corporate layers exist to obscure control. The €14.90 Deep Research Report follows owners and officers through them and cites a source URL for every entity and every relationship it draws.

    The verdict

    p. 05 / 08

    One run, €0.39, and a PDF that still says this in two years.

    Sanctions, PEP, criminal watchlists and the ownership chain land in one report. The snapshot is stored as it stood today and is never recalculated when a list moves, so the file an examiner opens is the decision you actually made.

    From a name to an evidence PDF, in five steps

    p. 06 / 08
    1

    Enter the name

    Type the counterparty in the script it was written in. Country, registration number and date of birth narrow the candidate set; the name alone starts the run.

    2

    Run the check

    Quick Check screens 51 sanctions sources, 16 criminal watchlists and 750,000+ PEP records in one pass, deterministically, and sends nothing to an AI model.

    3

    Read the candidates

    Full Search adds alias and transliteration matching and an AI review that explains every candidate in words and flags the false positives. You get reasoning, never a bare score.

    4

    Make the call

    Your team dispositions each candidate: proceed, escalate to enhanced due diligence, or decline. ScreenVeritAI issues no verdict and records the one you issue.

    5

    Export the evidence

    The PDF reproduces the screening as it stood on the date it ran, source by source, and stays that way after the lists change.

    Questions

    p. 08 / 08
    01What does a €0.39 Quick Check actually screen?
    Sanctions, politically exposed persons and criminal or wanted-person lists, in one run: 51 sanctions sources, a PEP domain of 750,000+ records from 134 public sources, and 16 criminal watchlists. It is deterministic and sends no data to an AI model. Adverse media is a separate €0.99 check, or part of Full Search at €5.90.
    02What do I need before I can screen a new customer?
    A name and a country. Registration numbers, dates of birth and known aliases narrow the candidate set, and none of them are required to start. Company or individual, in any script.
    03Do you screen criminal watchlists, or is that an add-on?
    They run on every check, the €0.39 one included. Most vendors sell wanted-person lists as a separate feed or skip the domain entirely, which is why a clean sanctions result says less than buyers assume.
    04The name is not in Latin script. Now what?
    Enter it as it was written. Full Search expands the query, generates transliterations and alias variants, reviews every candidate it finds, and writes down why each one was kept or dropped.
    05Will the report still make sense to an auditor in two years?
    The screening is stored as a point-in-time snapshot and exported as a PDF that reproduces the result as it stood on the date it ran. It is never recalculated when a list changes. The file an examiner opens is the decision you actually made, not today's recomputation of it.
    06Can I run this from our onboarding system?
    Yes. POST /api/v1/search with an X-API-Key header returns 202 Accepted and a search id, then you poll GET /api/v1/search/{search_id}. Batch upload takes CSV or XLSX at the same per-check rate.
    07Does a no-match result mean the customer is clean?
    No, and we will not print that word. A no-match result means no match was found in the checked sources on that date. The scope is published source by source on the coverage page, so you can see what was searched and what was not.
    08What does it cost to screen a hundred new customers?
    €39, at €0.39 a Quick Check, with no platform fee and no minimum. Adverse media adds €0.99 a name, Full Search is €5.90 and the Deep Research Report is €14.90.
    Key terms
    KYC (Know Your Customer)
    The obligation to identify a customer and assess their risk before onboarding them. Everything else in an AML programme sits on top of it.
    CDD (Customer Due Diligence)
    The standard onboarding set: identity, ownership and a risk assessment. AML regulation requires it for every customer, not only the interesting ones.
    EDD (Enhanced Due Diligence)
    The deeper pass for higher-risk relationships — PEP exposure, adverse media, high-risk jurisdictions — and it needs senior sign-off before the relationship opens.
    UBO (Ultimate Beneficial Owner)
    The natural person who ultimately owns or controls the entity, usually at a 25% threshold. Identifying them is mandatory under AML regulation, and it is where corporate layers do their work.
    PEP (Politically Exposed Person)
    Someone holding or recently holding a prominent public function. The status extends to family members and close associates and triggers enhanced due diligence.
    Adverse Media Screening
    A search of news and public records for fraud, corruption and sanctions evasion. It often surfaces a problem months before any authority designates anyone.
