FAQ

Common questions

What sanctions lists does VerifyChain cover? +
VerifyChain screens against 18+ authoritative sources including OFAC SDN, OFAC Non-SDN (SSI, FSE, CMIC), UN Consolidated, EU FSF, UK OFSI, AU DFAT, Canada SEMA, Switzerland SECO, Interpol Red Notices, FBI Most Wanted, DEA Fugitives, BIS Entity List, World Bank Debarred, Brazil CGU CEIS/CNEP, Mexico SAT, Argentina UIF, Japan METI, and FATF high-risk jurisdictions. All sources are updated daily.
How does name matching work for non-Latin names? +
Our engine uses ICU Transliterator to convert Arabic, Cyrillic, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Hebrew names to Latin script before matching. We then apply Jaro-Winkler similarity, Double Metaphone phonetic matching, and Levenshtein distance — giving a composite score that catches spelling variations and transliteration differences across languages.
What is the difference between Basic, Standard, and Premium tiers? +
Basic returns name match + risk score + label. Standard adds AI-generated compliance narrative (DeepSeek), adverse media screening (GDELT), and PDF report. Premium adds document upload, OCR extraction, webhooks, and custom risk thresholds.
How accurate is the FATF jurisdiction scoring? +
FATF high-risk jurisdictions (currently Iran, North Korea, Myanmar) automatically add +20 points to the risk score. Increased monitoring countries (21 jurisdictions including Venezuela, Pakistan, Nigeria) add +10 points. This follows FATF Recommendation 19 guidance for enhanced due diligence.
Do credits expire? +
No. Credits purchased separately (pay-as-you-go) never expire. Monthly plan credits reset at the start of each billing cycle. Unused subscription credits do not roll over.
Can I use VerifyChain for LGPD/GDPR compliance? +
VerifyChain processes only the name and metadata you submit — no biometric or sensitive personal data is stored beyond the verification record. All data is processed on servers in Brazil (Hostinger VPS). You control retention. For LGPD compliance, we recommend combining VerifyChain with your own consent management system.
Is there a free trial? +
Yes. Every new account receives 3 free verifications (Standard tier) — no credit card required. This lets you test the full pipeline including AI narrative and risk scoring before subscribing.
