Company Verification
Retrieve live company data directly from official corporate registries — legal name, registration number, incorporation status, jurisdiction, and registered address — without manual document requests.
UBO Detection
Automatically map ownership hierarchies and identify ultimate beneficial owners. The system follows shareholding structures and officer roles to surface individuals with significant control.
Sanctions and PEP Screening
Once a company and its key stakeholders are identified, screen them immediately against global sanctions lists, PEP databases, and adverse media sources within the same workflow.
Ongoing Corporate Monitoring
Companies change. Ownership structures shift, legal status updates, and new risks emerge. Sanction Scanner re-screens corporate entities and their owners automatically so you're not relying on point-in-time checks.
From company name to compliance decision in seconds
Registry data and risk intelligence in one place. Search once, get everything.
Enter a company name with optional filters for jurisdiction, incorporation date, and legal status.
The system connects to official corporate registries and returns structured company information including registration details, legal form, and current status.
Officer roles, shareholding data, and group structures are analysed automatically to identify UBOs and connected parties.
Every company and individual surfaced in the ownership map is screened against sanctions lists, PEP databases, and adverse media in real time.
Results are presented in a single consolidated company profile. Take compliance actions, link findings to case management, assign reviewers, and log your decision — all from one view.
Built for teams that can't afford gaps in corporate due diligence
Automated UBO identification
The system follows ownership chains beyond the registered company layer, surfacing the individuals who ultimately control the entity — not just the names on the filing.
Integrated AML screening within the KYB workflow
Sanctions, PEP, and adverse media checks run automatically on every company and individual identified. No separate tool, no manual handoff.
Case management integration
Link KYB findings directly to your case management workflow. Set match status, assign users, add tags, and maintain a full audit trail without switching platforms.
Batch and API support
Run single checks manually or push bulk verification through the API. Both modes use the same data sources and return structured, audit-ready results.
Full audit traceability
Every verification action, match decision, and status change is logged automatically. Regulatory review-ready without additional preparation.
Custom risk actions and tagging
Apply internal risk classifications, assign cases to team members, and tag entities for follow-up — all configurable to your compliance workflow.
Fits your onboarding stack without rebuilding it
Sanction Scanner's API connects KYB verification directly into your existing onboarding platform, CRM, or compliance system. Corporate data retrieval, UBO mapping, and screening all happen within your workflow — not in a separate tool your team has to context-switch into.

Know Your Business is the process of verifying the identity, ownership structure, and risk profile of a corporate entity before establishing a business relationship. It is required under FATF recommendations and EU Anti-Money Laundering Directives, and it applies to any regulated business onboarding corporate clients, vendors, or partners.
KYC focuses on verifying individuals. KYB focuses on verifying businesses — and because businesses have ownership structures, it includes identifying and verifying the individuals who ultimately control the entity. In practice, KYB typically triggers KYC checks on the UBOs and key officers identified.
A Ultimate Beneficial Owner is the individual who ultimately owns or controls a company, either directly or through a chain of ownership. Regulators require UBO identification because corporate structures can be used to obscure who actually controls a business. Without identifying the UBO, a sanctions or PEP check on the registered company alone is insufficient.
Sanction Scanner connects to corporate registries across 11 countries for direct company data retrieval. For risk screening — sanctions, PEP, and adverse media checks on the companies and individuals identified — coverage extends to 220+ countries.
