ScreeningHub

ScreeningHub screens people and companies against PEP, sanctions, law-enforcement and adverse-media watchlists using an API or hosted form. Results include a pass, review or hit decision, confidence scores, matched records and an audit log. The service describes its matching as fuzzy and aware of transliterations and aliases. Its listed sources include OFAC, EU consolidated, UK HMT, UN, Interpol and more than 30 national regimes, with lists refreshed within minutes of publication. Growth and Enterprise continuously rescreen profiles and send a webhook when a previously cleared profile matches a new list version. Developer resources include REST endpoints, typed SDKs and a sandbox with realistic fixtures. An MCP server works with compatible agents using an existing API key, with scopes, per-call audit trails, optional human approval for mutating tools and per-key rate limits. EU data residency is available on all plans; Enterprise includes a single-tenant managed option. A free plan includes 100 screens per month. Starter costs €79 a month, and Growth costs €319 a month. Pure on-premise installation is reviewed case by case.

ScreeningHub combines watchlist screening with review details and developer access. It focuses on PEP, sanctions and adverse-media screening rather than replacing an identity-verification provider.

ScreeningHub may suit fintechs, EMIs, banks and regulated institutions screening people or companies. Its Starter plan is described for pilots and early-stage fintechs, while Growth and Enterprise target larger or regulated organizations.

ScreeningHub is a compliance screening service for checking people and companies against PEP, sanctions, law-enforcement and adverse-media watchlists. It suits fintechs, EMIs and regulated teams that need API-driven decisions and audit trails. Its scope is deliberately narrower than identity verification, so it works best as a screening component alongside a separate verification provider.

Overview

Each screening response returns a pass, review or hit decision, confidence scores, matched records and an audit log. That combination gives compliance staff a documented route from an initial match to a case decision instead of forcing them to interpret an unstructured search result. Confidence scores can prioritize work, but they do not remove the need for appropriate human review.

The service can be used through REST-based integration or a hosted form. Its European Union headquarters and EU data residency option will matter to organizations with regional handling requirements.

Key features

ScreeningHub describes its matching as fuzzy, transliteration-aware and alias-aware. Those approaches are useful when the same person appears under spelling variants, different scripts or known aliases. Coverage includes OFAC, the EU consolidated list, UK HMT, UN, Interpol and more than 30 national regimes, with lists refreshed within minutes of publication. That is a broad watchlist base for cross-border screening, although it remains focused on PEP, sanctions and adverse media rather than identity proofing.

REST endpoints, typed SDKs and a sandbox with realistic fixtures give development teams a defined path from integration to testing. Batch screening is available for larger record sets, and selectable list management lets an organization choose the sources relevant to its policy rather than screening against an inflexible bundle.

Growth and Enterprise continuously rescreen profiles and send a webhook when a previously cleared profile matches a new list version. This is the important distinction for ongoing compliance: Starter can screen a case, while the higher tiers can surface a later change without waiting for a manual rerun.

ScreeningHub also offers an MCP server for MCP-aware agents such as Claude, Cursor and Codex, using an existing API key. API-key scopes, per-call audit trails, optional human approval for mutating tools and per-key rate limits provide controls for teams introducing agent access. Those controls make the integration more governable than an unrestricted automation credential.

Pricing

Free tier — free, billed at 100 screens per month, with no credit card required. It is suitable for a small proof of concept or low-volume evaluation, but the 100-screen ceiling makes it unsuitable for production workloads.

Starter — €79 a month, billed at €79 per month for 2,500 screens. It includes sanctions, PEP and adverse-media screening, the REST API, hosted dashboard, audit-ready logs and email support. Additional screens cost €0.04 each. This is the practical entry point for pilots and early-stage fintechs that need a real integration, but it lacks the continuous monitoring, webhooks and SLA offered higher up.

Growth — €319 a month, billed at €319 per month for 25,000 screens. It adds ongoing monitoring for 10,000 profiles, webhooks, bulk batch screening, configurable match thresholds, a 99.9% uptime SLA and priority support. Overage is €0.02 per additional screen. Scaling fintechs and EMIs get substantially more operational coverage, while teams below the quota may find the fixed price hard to justify.

Enterprise — custom pricing, with volume pricing from €0.005 per screen. It provides unlimited screens and profiles, EU data residency with a single-tenant option, SSO/SCIM and role-based access, a dedicated success manager, a custom DPA, a 99.99% SLA and quarterly model and data audits. Banks and regulated institutions that need procurement, tenancy and governance controls are the clear audience; organizations wanting a transparent self-serve price should look at the lower tiers.

Free trials are offered, while the published plan terms do not state a separate trial duration or renewal schedule.

Platforms

ScreeningHub is offered as an API, a web experience and a self-hosted deployment option. Pure on-premise installation is reviewed case by case, so teams requiring guaranteed fully offline deployment should confirm fit before committing. Enterprise can use a single-tenant managed deployment.

Who it's for

Starter fits pilots and early-stage fintechs that need auditable screening without a large monthly commitment. Growth is aimed at scaling fintechs and EMIs where recurring monitoring, batch operations and service-level assurance are central. Enterprise is designed for banks and regulated institutions with identity, access, residency and audit requirements. It is not a replacement for an identity-verification provider.

Pros and cons

Pros

• Pass, review and hit outcomes include confidence scores, matched records and an audit log, supporting documented case handling.
• Fuzzy, transliteration-aware and alias-aware matching, plus broad multinational list coverage, suits cross-border screening.
• Growth and Enterprise monitoring can notify systems through webhooks when list versions create a new match.
• MCP scopes, per-call auditing, approval controls and per-key rate limits make agent access easier to govern.
• Enterprise adds single-tenant deployment, SSO/SCIM, a 99.99% SLA and quarterly audits for highly regulated environments.

Cons

• The free tier's 100 screens per month is too small for sustained operational use.
• Continuous monitoring and configurable thresholds begin at Growth, so Starter users must accept a more limited workflow.
• Pure on-premise deployment is case-by-case rather than a standard option.
• Screening does not replace identity verification, requiring another provider in a complete onboarding stack.

Verdict

Choose ScreeningHub if you need watchlist screening that developers can integrate, compliance staff can audit and higher tiers can monitor continuously. Its strongest case is the combination of broad list coverage, structured decisions and governed automation. Look elsewhere if you need identity verification, guaranteed pure on-premise deployment or a very small, low-cost workflow beyond the free tier.
