Sanctions and PEP screening you can defend.

Verifex is a sanctions, PEP and AML screening API with a decision record behind every result. Screening checks people and companies against the sources you choose. Verifex Shield monitors transactions for fraud and AML risk and screens the counterparty in the same call. Both keep the evidence of what was checked, so a result can be explained to an auditor later.

Verifex screens people and companies against sanctions lists, PEP data and watchlists, including OFAC, UK Sanctions, the United Nations, BIS and multilateral debarment lists. 47 sources are catalogued. Coverage and update frequency vary by source; the data sources page shows the live state of each one.

Yes. The Free plan includes 50 screens a month with no credit card, so you can test the API and read real responses before you pay. Paid plans add more screens, more sources, evidence export and webhooks.

Shield is fraud and AML transaction monitoring. Each transaction gets one of five outcomes (clear, review, delay, escalate or block) with the rules that fired, a score, and a signed evidence record. Compliance teams can tune a rule, test it on past decisions and deploy it without engineering work. Shield is generally available and is switched on per account by Verifex, so talk to us to enable it.

Yes. Shield offers a SanctionScanner-compatible API with the same paths, fields and response envelope, plus Shield's own extensions. Most integrations change the base URL and the API key. A native API is available for new integrations.

Not on its own. A result is only eligible for your clearance path when standard mode ran, every in-scope source answered, the candidate set was complete and the evidence record is available. If any of those fails, Verifex holds the result for review and says why. The legal decision stays with your team.

No. A sanctioned person is someone you are legally barred from dealing with. A PEP (politically exposed person) is someone in public office, or close to one, who needs extra checks, not a ban. Verifex keeps the two apart: a PEP result never becomes a sanctions-grade result by itself.

Every screening records the data, matching evidence, source snapshot, and engine version behind the result, tied to a decision hash. That lets your team reconstruct and verify what was recorded (the versions, decision identity, and source provenance of a past decision) instead of relying on a screenshot or the final label alone.

They come from a benchmark of the deployed engine (Production Engine vNext, measured August 12, 2026) on the live corpus of 1,325,118 listed rows across 53 sources. On 5,000 adversarial negatives the engine produced 0 severe false positives (95% CI ≤ 0.077%); exact-name recall was 97.33% (95% CI 94.83–98.64%), all 300 sanctions positives were actionable, and none of the 150 PEP-only cases were served at sanctions-grade severity. A zero-event result is bounded by its confidence interval, not a guarantee of real-world performance. This is a self-administered vendor benchmark, not an independent audit.
