What does Verifex screen against?

Verifex screens people and companies against sanctions and watchlists, including OFAC, UK Sanctions, the United Nations, and BIS. Coverage and update frequency vary by source; see the data sources page for details.

What does it mean that a decision can be replayed?

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.

What do the benchmark numbers mean?

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.

Defensible screening decisions, not just match scores.

Screen people and companies against the sources you choose. Get back a decision you can defend to an auditor: which sources it checked, which it could not, and the reasoning behind the result. Incomplete work never quietly reads as clear.

For compliance, risk, and engineering teams at fintechs and payments businesses.

A no-hit is not automatically a clearance.

A match score answers one question: did anything resemble this name? It cannot tell an auditor whether every in-scope source was checked, whether the lists were current, or whether an unavailable source was quietly treated as a pass.

Score-only responseno context

{
  "match_score": 0.0,
  "result": "clear"
}

Did every source respond? Was the list current? Was the candidate set complete? You cannot answer, and neither can your regulator.

Verifex result contractcoverage partial

{
  "verdict": "no_candidate_match",
  "coverage_status": "partial",
  "candidate_set_complete": true,
  "evidence_capsule_id": "9f2a4c7e…",
  "clearance_eligible": false
}

No candidate matched, but one in-scope source was unavailable, so coverage is partial and clearance is withheld. The gap is on the record, not hidden by a green result.

Four conditions before a clear can stand.

A no-hit only becomes eligible for your policy's clearance path once every condition below is satisfied. Any one that fails holds the result for review, automatically and visibly on the record.

01Was standard mode run?
Exact-only never earns a compliance clearance.
02Did every in-scope source respond?
A source that did not answer keeps coverage partial.
03Was the candidate set complete?
A truncated or capped candidate set cannot clear.
04Is the evidence record available?
The decision has to be reconstructable later.
Only then: eligible for your policy's clearance path.

The policy and legal decision stays yours. Verifex supplies the proof; it does not make your legal judgement.

Read the full contract

Know what was checked, and what was not.

Current, stale, and unavailable sources stay visibly distinct. A source that is frozen upstream or unreachable never quietly becomes a clean result. It is disclosed on the record and in the public catalog.

Current

Refreshing on schedule from the publisher.

Stale

Frozen or delayed upstream; flagged, not hidden.

Unavailable

No successful ingest; excluded from a clear.
