🌎ONU Background Check

Service for querying criminal records with the ONU.

Endpoint

https://api.verifik.co/v2/onu

This API provides a simple and efficient way to verify whether an individual or entity is listed on the United Nations sanctions list. By submitting identifying details such as a full name or document information, users can quickly determine if a person or organization is subject to international sanctions. This is particularly useful for ensuring compliance with global regulations and conducting thorough due diligence in KYC (Know Your Customer) and AML (Anti-Money Laundering) processes.

Use Cases

• International Compliance: Ensure your business operations comply with United Nations sanctions by verifying the identity of individuals and entities.

• Risk Assessment: Reduce financial and reputational risks by identifying sanctioned persons or organizations before engaging in transactions.

• Regulatory Requirements: Essential for industries such as banking, finance, and insurance to meet global KYC and AML regulatory standards.
