Website screening for merchant onboarding and monitoring.
Review a merchant's public website against your risk indicators before onboarding and during monitoring. Every review leaves a clear record of what was seen and when.
Findings
What you get
Turn website checks into evidence your team can use.
One review standard
Apply the same categories and evidence rules to every merchant, not one-off browsing.
Visible risk indicators
Spot products, claims, policies or behavior on the site that need a closer look.
A clear review trail
Record what was reviewed, what was found, who escalated it and the outcome.
How it works
Five steps from request to handoff.
Receive
Take in the merchant, domain and review reason.
Collect
Access the agreed public pages and supplied business context.
Review
Apply your indicator taxonomy and evidence rules.
Escalate
Send material, unclear or unreachable cases to human review.

FAQ
Common questions.
A finding is not a decision. Your team still decides whether to onboard or keep a merchant. Websites change and can differ from real business activity, so combine screening with your wider due diligence.
What does Website Screening review?
Accessible pages on the agreed domain, plus any business context you supply, checked against your risk indicators at a point in time.
Can screening confirm that a business is legal?
No. Website content alone cannot establish legality, licensing, ownership or how the business actually operates.
What happens when a site is unavailable?
The review records the limitation and routes the case according to your agreed manual-review policy.
Can it support ongoing monitoring?
Yes, where monitoring is in scope. Reviews run on a schedule or after triggers such as a domain change, complaint or dispute.
Does it work with eKYC?
Yes. Website findings and eKYC checks can run in one onboarding flow while staying separate evidence.
