Onboard a client lawfully, in one link.
Client screening and onboarding: one secure link takes a client through intake, identity, screening and an advisory risk rating, and leaves you a decision-ready file. Pay per client vetted, with no monthly fee.
Firms whose FICA work arrives with the client.
Verify is for a firm that already has its risk policy in order and wants take-on to stop eating afternoons: conveyancing, estates, commercial work, anywhere a new matter means a new client to vet. If you also carry the firm-level duties that run without a new client, that is Comply.
FICA’s client due diligence duties bite when a business relationship is established: establish and verify identity, understand the purpose of the relationship, identify beneficial owners, screen for sanctions and politically exposed persons, and keep the record. Verify carries that work and evidences it. Your firm still complies; Onvett does not comply on your behalf.
Four stages, one link, no gaps.
Signed, expiring and single use. No client account, no password, nothing for the client to set up.
Individuals, companies, trusts and partnerships each get the questions their type requires, and nothing else.
Address capture and verification with Google Places lookup, so what the client types resolves to a real place.
Add your own questions to the form, in your own words, alongside the statutory ones.
Scrollable statement, explicit checkboxes, and South Africa storage consent on record.
Uploaded ID and proof of address are checked against the details entered and validated for authenticity.
The 13-digit number is validated as the client types, with a live read-back of date of birth, gender and citizenship.
The identity number verified against the DHA record, not just checked for a valid pattern.
A live selfie matched to the ID document, so the person onboarding is the person on the document.
Registration details, status and directors pulled from the registry rather than typed by hand.
Owners traced through layered entities and drawn as an ownership diagram, so the chain either reaches named people or says it did not.
UN, US OFAC and EU consolidated lists, fuzzy matched, with each list reporting its own status. A failed fetch always reads as not screened, never as clean.
Politically exposed clients route into EDD: source of wealth, senior sign-off, and the extra checks your policy sets.
Upload your risk policy, read an automated critique of its wording against a FICA requirement catalogue, then approve and freeze a version.
Every rating traces factor by factor to the frozen policy that produced it. Advisory only, never a decision.
Approve, request more information, decline, or record that CDD is impossible, with the section 29 consideration captured on that path.
Hand a file to another attorney with a notification, so nothing waits on one inbox.
Generated from the complete client record, on your letterhead, ready for the matter file.
Every action time-stamped, attributable and tamper-evident, for the day the FIC asks.
One itemised invoice per month, one flat fee per client vetted, no monthly fee. A quiet month costs nothing.
Multi-tenant isolation, encryption in transit and at rest, and all data stored in South Africa.
Screening at take-on does not discharge the duties that keep running.
Stated plainly, because a firm should know where the line is before it buys. These duties sit in Onvett Comply, which includes everything on this page.
See what Comply addsOne flat fee per client vetted.
No monthly fee, no minimum, no per-user charge. Entity fees are banded by how many people in the ownership chain get screened, so a simple company stays cheap.
Rates read live from the firm settings, so this table is always the current price list.
Verification checks are billed separately, at cost plus a small markup, and only when one actually runs. A firm on Comply pays 15 percent less on every per-client rate above.
