A screening checkpoint in customer onboarding

Built around your work

Connect the integration to the investigation.

A potential match can travel from an onboarding system to an operations queue in seconds, but a reviewer still needs the right context. SanctionsKit carries the selected coverage, match explanations, and source references with the result so teams can investigate the same evidence.

Screen at your chosen checkpoint

Call the screening API from customer onboarding or a party-review workflow. Keep screening outcomes and technical failures separate in your application logic.

Make exceptions reviewable

Route potential matches with the supporting fields and conflicts. Let reviewers record their reasons without changing the underlying screening outcome.

Understand repeat-screening costs

Use idempotency keys for safe retries and plan for completed subject screenings. Monthly caps avoid automatic overages as your workflow expands.

A practical use case

A new customer reaches the sanctions checkpoint.

For a wallet, payments platform, or fintech onboarding flow, screening belongs at the point where your policy requires it. Your system already has the identity details to submit.

The review challenge

An ambiguous response creates an ambiguous next step for the customer-facing application and the operations team.

How SanctionsKit helps

Keep potential matches, completed no-match results, and incomplete checks separate. Give operations the screening reference and evidence needed to investigate.

Put it into practice

Connect customer onboarding to exception review.

Explore source coverage
  1. 01

    Define the party to screen

    Map the customer or counterparty details your system actually knows to the subject contract. Keep identity verification as a separate step.

  2. 02

    Choose coverage and handle outcomes

    Select the sources your team needs, check availability, and create explicit paths for potential matches, no matches, and errors.

  3. 03

    Preserve the handoff

    Pass the screening reference into your operations workflow so reviewers can investigate and record a decision against the same result.

Evaluate the fit

Screening questions for fintech & payments.

Is this a transaction monitoring system?

SanctionsKit screens submitted subjects against selected sources. It does not evaluate transaction behavior, detect payment fraud, or replace a transaction monitoring system.

Can we use the same integration for customers and counterparties?

Yes. Model each person or organization as a subject and choose the relevant coverage for that screening. Your application determines where screening belongs in the payment journey.
