Onvett Comply

The duties that never stop, carried in the background.

Your full FICA practice in one place: everything in Verify, plus the firm-level duties that run whether a new client arrives or not, with the evidence already built when the regulator asks. Per seat, per month.

Who it is for

Firms that carry the whole FICA burden, not just take-on.

Comply is for the firm whose compliance officer is answerable for the risk programme itself: the business risk assessment, the employee screening, the monitoring, the registers and the returns. If your only FICA work arrives with a new client, Verify is enough.

Includes everything in Onvett Verify

Intake links, adaptive forms, SA ID and Home Affairs verification, biometrics, CIPC lookup, beneficial ownership mapping, sanctions and PEP screening, the advisory RMCP rating, decision recording, annexures and the audit trail. All of it, at per-client rates 15 percent below Verify.

What Comply adds

Eleven statutory duties, each with its evidence.

Screening a client at take-on does not discharge the duty to keep screening them. These are the obligations that run continuously, with the citation each one answers to.

Business risk assessment of the firm
GN 7A para 183B

Assess your own money-laundering and terrorist-financing risk before choosing controls, in a structured assessment the firm can show and revisit.

Risk policy governance
GN 7A paras 181A, 181C, 190

Approval recorded by the person with the highest authority in the firm, non-delegation asserted on the record, and review at the interval your own policy states.

Policy distribution and training records
GN 7A para 183F

Make the policy available to every employee and record who was trained on it, and when.

Employee screening
Directive 8 of 2023

Screen every employee against the sanctions lists and record a competence and integrity assessment for each one.

Ongoing monitoring
GN 7A para 198

Every client is re-screened automatically whenever the sanctions lists change, and the attorney is alerted.

Screening at take-on alone does not discharge this duty. It is the sharpest reason Verify alone is not compliance.
Periodic review
GN 7A paras 46, 47, 127

Keep client information current and re-evaluate risk ratings at the intervals your firm sets, with the review recorded.

Cash threshold reports
s28, reg 24(4)

A register of reportable cash transactions, with the three-working-day clock running from the moment one is recorded.

Your firm files with the FIC. Onvett keeps the register and runs the clock.
Risk and Compliance Return
Directive 11 of 2026

A pre-filled worksheet evidencing the firm’s answers, assembled from what the product already holds.

Your firm submits the return. Onvett pre-fills the worksheet.
FIC registration record
reg 27A(3)

The firm’s registration details held on record where an inspector expects to find them.

Retention clocks
GN 7A para 175

Five years from the end of each business relationship, which means recording when the relationship actually ended, not guessing later.

Off-site storage disclosure pack
GN 7A para 170

The disclosure required when records are held off-site, assembled from the storage arrangements already on file.

Conveniences, not duties
Your own letterhead on generated documents

Annexures and certificates carry your firm’s brand. Nothing in the Act requires it. It saves reformatting.

Follow-up information requests

Ask a client for the two things still outstanding, on a link that shows them nothing else. A convenience, not an obligation.

Onvett never files anything with the FIC.

Cash threshold reports and the Risk and Compliance Return are filed by your firm, through the FIC’s own channels. Onvett keeps the register, runs the three-working-day clock and pre-fills the worksheet, so the filing takes minutes and the evidence is already assembled. Your firm complies. Onvett carries the workload and evidences it.

Comply pricing

A seat for each person, and cheaper clients.

A monthly subscription per seat, counted from your own user list, plus per-client fees at 15 percent below Verify. Support seats cost less because every person who touches a file should have their own login, and an audit trail is only worth having if it names the right person.

Monthly subscription
Fee-earner seat (owner or attorney)R350 / month
Support seat (staff)R200 / month
Seats are counted from your own user list, and billed whole rather than pro-rated.
Support seats cost less on purpose, so nobody shares a login and the audit trail names the right person.
Seats, client fees and verification checks arrive as separate lines on one monthly invoice.
Per-client rates on Comply15% below Verify

Entity, 11 to 15 beneficial ownersR518R440,30
Entity, 16 or more beneficial ownersR1 090R926,50

Rates read live from the firm settings. Verification checks are billed separately, at cost plus a small markup, and only when one actually runs. Seats, client fees and checks appear as separate lines on one monthly invoice.
