Solutions
One platform, every check.
Customer and Entity Risk Assessment
Score customer and entity risk using configurable factors across geography, product, channel, and customer type, producing a risk rating that drives the level of due diligence.
Compliance as a Business
White-label MemberCheck's risk screening platform under your own brand, and turn your compliance expertise into a new revenue stream.
Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD)
Run deeper investigation on high-risk customers and PEPs, covering source of funds and wealth, adverse media, ownership, a documented risk rationale, and scheduled review.
Customer Identity Verification
Verify a customer's identity against authoritative sources, block impersonation with biometric liveness, and receive a clear identity opinion that feeds the same screening record used across the business.
Jurisdiction Risk Assessment
Assess country and jurisdiction risk using recognised indicators such as FATF lists, sanctions regimes, and corruption indices, and apply it to customer and transaction risk.
Know Your Business (KYB)
Verify business entities, map ownership structures, identify ultimate beneficial owners, and screen the entity and its owners against sanctions, PEP, and adverse media data.
PEP and Sanctions Screening
Screen customers, entities, and counterparties against global sanctions, PEP, watchlist, and enforcement data, with configurable matching and ongoing monitoring.
Transaction Monitoring
Detect suspicious activity with configurable rules and an AI risk score on every transaction, turn alerts into cases your team can resolve, and support suspicious matter reporting.
Capabilities
What you get.
Intelligent filters & fuzzy matching
Filters sift a large database of profiles for potential risk, and fuzzy matching catches spelling variants, phonetic similarity and alternative transliterations that a name-only check would miss.
Ongoing monitoring
Customers are re-screened automatically as sanctions, PEP and watchlist data changes, so a cleared customer is reviewed again the moment a new listing affects them.
Due diligence & case management
Every match carries its evidence, its assignee and the decision that closed it, so an audit answers what was screened and why without reconstruction.
Custom watchlists & whitelisting
Whitelist entities cleared as false matches to cut repeat false positives, or build custom watchlists tailored to your own risk profile.
Multiple users, multiple organisations
Add unlimited users at no extra cost, and run more than one organisation's screening from the same account — built for corporate groups and service providers alike.
API integration
Run single or batch scans through the MemberCheck REST API and get results back in real time, so screening runs inside your own systems rather than a separate portal.

Questions
Common questions.
How many sources do you screen against, and how often are they updated?
MemberCheck screens against over 1,000 sanctions, PEP, and watchlist sources, refreshed on a 24-hour cycle, covering 195 countries.
Can screening run in real time via API, or in batch?
Both. Screen a single customer at onboarding through the API for a sub-second response, or run your entire book in batch. Both paths use the same lists and the same matching logic.
How long does an identity verification check take?
Most identity verification checks complete in seconds, fast enough to run inside a live onboarding flow. Response times vary with the country and document type being verified.
Do you support multiple users and organisations on one account?
Yes, at no extra cost. Multiple team members can use the platform simultaneously, and the same account can manage screening for more than one organisation — built for corporate groups and service providers managing several clients.
In their words
What compliance teams say.
The experience of using the MemberCheck service has been excellent, particularly due to the batch scan feature. It is very easy to use, and the delivery of results is remarkably fast, no matter the number of cases scanned. I was also impressed by the recently added feature, which enables us to preview the batch file before scanning. We can now predetermine if there are any issues with the details of our batch file.
We at Paynetics are delighted to share our great experience with Membercheck as a service provider for our AML screening processes, which proved to be a reliable partner, understanding our business needs, providing uninterrupted service and excellent client support. Amongst all providers we have partnered with, Membercheck has one of the most comprehensive approaches towards PEPs & Sanctions and has supported us in creating a controlled and fully compliant infrastructure for our fintech solutions.
Fexco operates in nearly 8 pacific countries & our FX system does not have an inbuilt PEP screening & due to the large number of transactions that we process MemberCheck is perfect for us. Also, it easy for me to conduct training as it's simple & straight forward.
I have been using MemberCheck for over a year, initially using its classic interface. The features I particularly like are being able to stay on the same page to view multiple profiles using four different viewing options, and the ability to drag-and-drop a file in order to perform batch scans. Overall, I have enjoyed the new MemberCheck experience and I highly recommend transitioning to its new modernised platform.
DDH Graham has used the MemberCheck service for more than five years and it has become an essential part of the toolkit we use in providing a leading edge administration service to our superannuation clients. Seamlessly integrated into our member registry platform, MemberCheck provides us and our clients with the security that all of our AML compliance goals are being met.
