Will transaction screening slow down my payment flow?

No. Verifex is designed for real-time screening, and for most payment flows the response is imperceptible to the end user. For ultra-low-latency requirements, consider asynchronous screening where you hold the transaction briefly while the API responds.

Can I screen both sender and recipient?

Yes. You can make two sequential API calls or use the batch endpoint to screen multiple parties in one request. Both approaches return structured evidence for each screened entity.

What happens if a beneficiary is a confirmed match?

The API returns verdict: confirmed_match, risk_level: high or critical, and recommended_action: block. Your system should implement the block according to your compliance policy. Verifex provides the evidence; you make the final decision.

Do you support batch file screening?

Yes. The POST /v1/screen/batch endpoint accepts up to 100 names per request (plan-gated). Returns individual results for every entry with Evidence Capsule IDs.

Use cases

Built for payment velocity.

Real-time payments

Screen every beneficiary before payment execution. Low-latency responses keep user-facing delay minimal. Block or flag high-risk transfers before they leave your system.

Cross-border remittance

Remittance services face dual-jurisdiction compliance. Screen sender and recipient against OFAC, UN, UK, and local lists in one call before funds are released.

Crypto on/off-ramps

Fiat-to-crypto and crypto-to-fiat transfers require sanctions screening at both ends. Integrate at the transfer initiation point and block before blockchain confirmation.

Payroll and treasury batch

Upload a batch of beneficiary names and receive structured results for every entry. Auto-approve clears, flag reviews, and block confirmed matches.

Capabilities

What the API delivers.

Real-time latency

Sub-second response time in real-world use. Screen every payment without adding perceptible delay to the user experience.

Batch screening

Submit up to 100 beneficiaries in a single request for file-based payment workflows. Ideal for payroll, remittance, and treasury batch files.

Real-time webhook alerts

Subscribe entities to a watchlist and receive near real-time notifications when their risk status changes due to sanctions list updates.

Explainable decisions

Every match includes structured confidence scores, source attribution, and match rationale. Compliance teams can inspect — not just trust — the result.

Throughput for volume

Built for high-throughput payment processors. A horizontally scalable architecture with no per-seat licensing or enterprise procurement friction.

Reviewable evidence

Every transaction screen is logged with timestamp, list version, match evidence, and decision hash. Exportable for compliance review and regulatory inquiry.

Developer experience

Integrate in minutes.

One POST request per beneficiary. Structured response with verdict, risk level, and recommended action.
