We build the screening layer for businesses that can't afford to miss a name.
Why we built it
OnSanctions started inside VerifyNow, the identity verification and compliance API we built for South African businesses. Our customers needed to rescreen all their customers every time a sanctions list changed. Two things stood in the way: per-check pricing made frequent rescreening expensive, and monitoring services wanted a full copy of their customer list.
So we wrote our own matching engine, pull each list from its publisher, and made two decisions. Price by the number of customers monitored, not by the check, so rescreening stays in the plan. Keep no readable copy of anyone's customer list.
What we believe
- Rescreening should be the default. A check is only as good as the list version it ran against.
- Your customers' data belongs in your systems. We screen it. We don't stockpile a readable copy.
- Compliance evidence should be exact. Every result says which dataset version it used and when.
- Prices should be published. Every band up to a million subjects is on our pricing page.
