Real-time AML/CFT sanctions screening built for African financial institutions. Proven in production. Priced for African fintechs.
African fintechs face tightening CBN, BoG, and BCC enforcement — but have no affordable, Africa-native sanctions screening solution. The options have been: overpay, underprepare, or build from scratch.
Built for European banks. No NFIU list. No understanding of African corridors. Completely out of reach for African PSPs and MFBs.
$50K–$200K to build. Then you still need to maintain list updates, build the compliance review workflow, and pass CBN examination.
Spreadsheet-based checks leave no audit trail. One regulatory examination finding can result in fines, licence suspension, or worse.
Production-proven. NFIU-integrated. CBN audit-ready. Live in 2 days via REST API. Built and operated by an African fintech — for African fintechs.
Every payment your platform processes passes through a 5-stage screening pipeline before funds move. Automated for 95% of transactions. Human review only when it matters.
Your platform calls POST /api/v1/screen with beneficiary name, nationality, amount, and corridor.
1.46M+ entries across OFAC, UN, EU, NFIU and 844K+ worldwide PEPs screened using fuzzy name matching in 1–3 seconds.
Composite scoring: name similarity, nationality, DOB, transaction velocity, country risk. 0–100 score returned in the same call.
PROCEED automatically. HOLD routes to compliance officer review with false positive management. BLOCK stops the transaction.
On BLOCK, compliance officer generates a goAML 5.0.1 XML report in one click — upload directly to NFIU's goAML portal.
Every decision logged with officer, timestamp, and reason. CBN and BoG examination-ready reports generated automatically.
Released 21–25 April 2026 across all production tenants. Backwards compatible with every existing integration. Wallet screening included on Growth and above; the rest available on every tier — no plan upgrade required.
Every PEP match now returns structured position, topic tags (role.pep, role.rca, role.head-of-state), and country of mandate as first-class API fields — no more parsing narrative remarks to determine risk tier.
When a match is found, related family members and close associates surface automatically — with each principal's list source, position, and nationality. 120,000+ structured relationships in the active index. Compliance officers see the full picture without leaving the review screen.
Screen the company plus declared UBOs, directors, and authorised signatories together. Worst-wins aggregation returns a single group decision with structured reasoning. Eliminates client-side aggregation boilerplate and satisfies institutional CDD workflows natively.
Screen blockchain wallet addresses against curated sanctions lists from OFAC, Israel NBCTF, US FBI Lazarus, and UK OFSI. 1,489 active sanctioned wallets across 18 chains — BTC, ETH, USDT-TRC20, USDT-ERC20, BSC, ARB and more. Combined wallet+entity screening returns a single decision with worst-wins logic, ready for Travel Rule workflows.
Documented in API Integration Guide v2.1, Operations Runbook v2.1, and Product Manual v1.3 — contact the team for the reference materials.
We screen against every major international list plus country-specific African regulatory datasets. Updated daily. No manual downloads. No missed updates.
Every global compliance vendor was built for European and US banks, then "expanded" to Africa as an afterthought. ScreenShield was built for African corridors from day one.
