Data coverage
Real data from official sources. AI organises it.
Every finding in a VerityRadar report links to its original source. We query official government lists, court systems, and corporate registries directly – then use AI to cross-reference and structure what's found.
Court Records & Legal Actions
Bankruptcy filings, criminal proceedings, civil judgments, and regulatory enforcement actions across Australia, the US, UK, and EU member states.
Directors & Key Personnel
Cross-referenced against ASIC, Companies House, SEC EDGAR, and equivalent registries in 70+ countries. Flags directorial connections to flagged entities.
Adverse Media
Structured monitoring of 10,000+ news sources, regulatory announcements, and government publications – filtered for relevance, not keyword-matched noise.
Corporate Registries
ASIC, ABN Lookup, Companies House, SEC, and 50+ national registries. Surfaces beneficial ownership, related entities, and registration history.
Banned & Debarred Lists
World Bank debarment, UN vendor ineligibility, EPLS/SAM.gov, and sector-specific exclusion lists from financial regulators in 30+ countries.
The problem
Pass/fail screening doesn't protect you. It just creates the illusion that it does.
Legacy tools return a red or green flag. No context. No source links. No explanation of what was found or why it matters. When a regulator asks you to justify your onboarding decision, a checkbox isn't a defence.
Legacy Screening Tool
- ✗ Returns a pass/fail result with no explanation of findings
- ✗ No source links – you can't verify what was actually checked
- ✗ Single database or aggregator – coverage gaps you don't know about
- ✗ No risk categorisation – a PEP and a UN-sanctioned entity look the same
- ✗ Audit trail, if it exists, is buried and hard to export
- ✗ Enterprise pricing and 6-month onboarding – for a 10-person firm
VerityRadar
- ✓ Structured risk report with categorised findings, risk level, and key flags
- ✓ Every finding links to its source – OFAC, DFAT, WorldBank, court records
- ✓ 2,000+ official sources across 120+ jurisdictions – real data, not aggregated noise
- ✓ Risk is categorised: sanctions, PEP, adverse media, debarment – each surfaced separately
- ✓ Full audit log, exportable PDF, screening status workflow – built for regulators
- ✓ Starts at $599/mo AUD. No contract. No 6-month implementation.
The difference isn't just the result. It's being able to explain the result.
How it works
Three steps. One defensible risk report.
No configuration. No data science team. No waiting.
Step 01
Submit an entity or individual
Enter a name, company, or upload a list. VerityRadar accepts individuals, corporate entities, and key personnel. No templates to fill in. No integration required to start.
Step 02
We query 2,000+ official sources
VerityRadar checks OFAC, DFAT, EU and UN sanctions lists, global court records, corporate registries, adverse media, PEP databases, and debarment lists – across 120+ jurisdictions, simultaneously. The AI organises the findings. It does not generate them.
Step 03
Receive a structured risk report
In about a minute – or up to three for complex sanctions reviews – you get a risk-level rating, categorised findings, personnel flags, and source links, all in one report. Export as PDF. Store in the audit trail. Move on.
What you now have: a sourced, timestamped, exportable risk report – the kind that satisfies AUSTRAC, satisfies your managing partner, and satisfies you.
Who it's for
Built for firms where compliance isn't a department – it's your responsibility.
You're a 5–50 person advisory, legal, or transaction firm. Compliance obligations have grown. Your team hasn't. You need AML/KYC screening that gives you a defensible answer – fast – without a $100k enterprise contract.
M&A Advisory
Screen counterparties, vendors, and target company directors before signing NDAs or executing transactions. Get a sourced, auditable risk report – not a pass/fail flag – that holds up to client and regulator scrutiny.
Boutique Legal Firms
Tranche 2 is coming. Lawyers engaged in conveyancing, corporate structuring, and trust services will be captured. Know which clients require enhanced due diligence before the obligation is formal – and document it.
Transaction Advisory
Before you commit resources to a deal, know who you're working with. VerityRadar surfaces director flags, debarment history, and adverse media in one report – so you're not surprised in due diligence.
Corporate Compliance Teams
Run vendor, counterparty, and staff onboarding through a single platform. Monitoring flags change events automatically. The audit trail satisfies AUSTRAC and internal governance requirements without manual documentation.
Pricing
Compliance intelligence priced for the firms that actually need it.
A single regulatory fine from AUSTRAC can run into hundreds of thousands of dollars. The reputational cost of onboarding a sanctioned client is harder to quantify. The cost of knowing, before you commit, is below.

Enterprise is the same platform – fully unlocked.
No separate product. No different interface. Enterprise access removes the limits on volume, adds monitoring and bulk processing, and opens the REST API – all within the same platform your team already knows.
Entity Monitoring
Screen once, stay current. VerityRadar monitors entities continuously and alerts your team when a status changes – new sanctions listing, adverse media hit, or directorial flag – without manual re-screening.
Bulk Import
Upload a CSV of clients, vendors, or counterparties and run screening across your entire list in one operation. Results are returned as individual reports, each with its own audit entry.
Private Watchlists
Add your own internal exclusion or monitoring lists. These are private to your organisation and applied to every investigation – alongside the 2,000+ official sources.
Team Management
Assign roles – admin, analyst, viewer – with granular permissions per team member. Suitable for compliance officers managing junior staff or multi-office firm structures.
Full Audit Trail
Every action – screening run, status update, export, user login – is timestamped and logged. Export the complete log at any time for regulatory examination or internal governance review.
Screening Status Workflow
Move investigations through a structured workflow. Assign, escalate, and resolve. Every status change is recorded against the entity – creating a documented decision trail from first screen to onboarding approval.

Why now
Australia's AML obligations just got significantly larger.
Australia's AML/CTF Act Tranche 2 reforms will extend anti-money laundering obligations to lawyers, accountants, real estate professionals, and other designated non-financial businesses – bringing Australia in line with FATF standards that most comparable economies implemented years ago. If your firm provides any of these services, your obligations are changing.
AUSTRAC has significantly increased its enforcement activity in recent years. Penalties for non-compliance are not theoretical: AUSTRAC's civil penalty regime allows for fines of up to $18 million per contravention. The direction of enforcement suggests the regulator is not inclined toward leniency for firms that cannot demonstrate documented due diligence processes.
FATF's mutual evaluation of Australia's AML/CTF regime adds an additional layer of pressure. Firms in Tranche 2 sectors that demonstrate proactive compliance are better positioned ahead of that process. The implication: the firms that build compliant screening processes now will be documenting compliance for years, not scrambling in response to enforcement.
1 July 2026: Tranche 2 expansion takes effect, extending AML/CTF obligations to lawyers, accountants, conveyancers, real-estate agents, and trust and company service providers.
API & Integration
Embed compliance screening in your product. Stop building it yourself.
VerityRadar's REST API returns a structured JSON risk report in about a minute for typical checks – up to three minutes for complex sanctions reviews – ready to render in your UI or trigger your own workflow logic. Most teams complete a working integration in under a day.
Building this internally means maintaining relationships with 2,000+ data sources, handling regulatory updates, and managing uptime. Most product teams price that at 6–12 months of engineering and six figures annually.
API Key Auth
Authenticate with a single API key. No OAuth flows. No SDK required. Works from any backend language or framework.
Structured JSON Results
Every response includes risk level, categorised findings, source references, and entity metadata – ready to map directly to your data model.
Batch Delivery
Submit bulk screening jobs and retrieve results through the API when they're ready. Async delivery options are available for planned enterprise rollouts.
Here's what a screening request looks like in production:
POST /v1/screen

Representative feedback from early users.
"The main difference for us is that the work now has a consistent shape. We still review the output carefully, but we're not starting from a blank page every time."
Senior Compliance Advisor · M&A Transaction Team
"What we found useful was the structure. The source links are there, the findings are grouped sensibly, and it gives the reviewer something concrete to work from instead of a loose collection of searches."
AML Compliance Officer · Transaction Advisory Services
"We don't need something overly complex. For a smaller team, this felt more practical than trying to fit an enterprise workflow into a firm that just wants clear screening evidence and a record of what was checked."
