One call at onboarding for a complete screening record.
Sanctions, public office and negative news together, with one overall result.
When you need the full picture on a person, running three checks and stitching the results together is a chore. The IdentifyOrg background check runs AML sanctions screening, PEP screening and adverse media screening together, for a lower price than the three separately, and gives you one overall answer: Clear, Possible findings, or Review required. The detail of each check is included, so your team can see exactly what was found. Use it to onboard customers, vet agents, merchants and partners, or screen people for roles that handle money. It is not a criminal-records or credit check, and each result says what was checked.

}When the test convinces you, the developer section shows exactly how to connect it: the endpoint, the request and response, SDKs for your language and webhooks.
AML sanctions screening, PEP screening and adverse media screening, together.
No. It is not a criminal-records or credit check.
Yes. The bundle costs less than the three single checks together.
Yes. Each check is also available on its own, with its own price.
You still receive the sanctions and public-office checks. The news part is marked unavailable, you are not charged for it, and the overall result shows Incomplete if nothing was found, never Clear. Run the news check again later.
At least one check found something that a person should read and decide on. This is a screening aid: a match means a name (and birth year, when given) agrees with a finding and a person should confirm it, and a clear result means nothing was found by the checks described on this page. It is not a legal determination.
