Integrations: Verification and Screening, Built In

Identity verification (KYC)

Veriqua verifies individual customers electronically against authoritative Australian data sources, including the Australian Government's Document Verification Service (DVS), so a driver licence, passport or other government-issued document can be confirmed in the onboarding flow rather than checked by hand. Verification runs through our identity-verification partner's secure infrastructure, and every check — passed, failed or referred — is captured against the customer record as evidence.

Company and entity verification (KYB)

For non-individual customers, Veriqua connects to the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) and the Australian Business Register (ABR/ABN) to confirm company and entity details directly from source. Onboarding is customer-type-aware — individuals, companies, trusts, SMSFs and partnerships each follow the right path — so your team collects the correct information for the structure in front of them, not a one-size-fits-all form.

Beneficial ownership

Entity verification feeds Veriqua's Beneficial Ownership Register, which maps the ownership and control chain and surfaces the ultimate beneficial owners against the relevant control threshold. The chain is recorded as evidence, so you can show who really owns and controls a customer — not just that you asked.

Sanctions and PEP screening

Customers and beneficial owners are screened for sanctions and politically exposed person (PEP) exposure against the lists Australian reporting entities are expected to check — the DFAT Consolidated List, United Nations Security Council sanctions, and OFAC lists — with matches flagged for review and the screening result retained in the audit trail.

One evidence chain, hosted in Australia

What ties these together is the difference that matters most: it's one system, not several. A customer verified at onboarding, screened, risk-rated and (where needed) escalated leaves a single, connected, tamper-evident evidence trail — the record AUSTRAC expects you to be able to produce.

And it stays onshore. Veriqua is hosted in Australia, and its AI processing runs in Australia too — so customer data, verification results and screening outcomes don't leave the country to be checked. For an Australian reporting entity weighing a global platform against a local one, that's a deliberate design choice, not an afterthought.
