  • Compliance and risk screening for onboarding and due diligence, including AML/PEP and sanctions screening, plus FICA-supporting workflows with consent capture and audit-friendly records
  • Payments and business verification such as bank account verification (to confirm account ownership before payouts, refunds, or high-risk changes) and CIPC company and director checks for KYB
  • Operational checks for specific workflows, including driver’s licence verification, document verification, and vehicle specification lookup by number plate or VIN (technical specs only, no owner details)

Available on Web via a self-service dashboard and via a REST API (API docs: https://www.verifynow.co.za/api-docs).

It targets South African organisations in sectors such as banking and fintech, insurance, property, recruitment and HR, automotive dealers, telecoms (RICA-related checks), retail and marketplaces, and public sector or NGOs that need repeatable identity and risk checks.

Notable in the South African market for offering official Home Affairs-verified data access for SA ID and photo verification, plus a broad catalogue that also includes Nigerian ID verification and global AML screening coverage for cross-border compliance use cases.
