Five Things That Break Screening in Crypto

The pressures differ by business model. Choose one to see what applies.

Interactive

Score your screening coverage and exposure

Set your business model, the checkpoints where screening runs today, and the exposure factors present in your user base. The scorecard combines both into one read: how covered you are, and how much coverage the exposure you carry actually calls for.

Screening Across the Full Customer Lifecycle

Six moments where a designated party can reach the platform. Select one to see what gets screened, and what it costs to miss it.

One API Call, Across Every Counterparty

Fast enough for real-time onboarding

Roughly 350 ms average response against 100+ sanctions, PEP, adverse media and criminal watchlist sources, so the check runs inside signup rather than behind it.

Continuous monitoring of the whole user base

Lists refresh every 60 minutes. The user base is re-screened automatically and a webhook fires the moment a customer or counterparty is designated.

Matching built for a global user base

NLP-based matching handles transliteration, non-Latin scripts, nicknames and spelling errors, with an adjustable threshold so you decide where auto-clear ends and review begins.

Audit trail your banking partner accepts

Every alert, clear and override timestamped against the list snapshot used, exportable to CSV or JSON for a regulator, an auditor or a bank partner review.

The practical guide to sanctions screening

How screening programs are built, tuned and defended: list selection across OFAC, EU, UN and HMT/OFSI, thresholds you can defend in an examination, false-positive management, and the evidence examiners ask for.

Selecting a suitable screening vendor

The evaluation criteria that separate providers: list coverage and refresh cadence, match-quality benchmarking, latency under load, data residency, and the commercial terms that bite at volume. Includes an RFP question set.
