Built around your work
We know how your organisation actually runs.
Due diligence in African nonprofits rarely sits with a compliance department. It sits with a programme officer, a finance lead or an executive director who is already doing three jobs. VerityScan is built for them.
Small teams, many hats
No compliance training needed. Plain language, clear next steps, and a second pair of eyes built into every decision.
Patchy internet, everyday phones
Light pages that load on mid-range Android phones and slow connections, so screening never waits for good Wi-Fi.
Budgets that come from grants
Plans sized for NPO budgets that fit a grant budget line, with no bank-sized licence fees.
Many languages, one workflow
English and French today, with Portuguese, Kiswahili and Arabic on the way. Names in any script are welcome.
Proportionate, never suspicious
Built on FATF Recommendation 8: risk-based checks on partners, and beneficiary screening off unless you choose it.
Evidence every donor understands
One clear certificate for each check, with what was searched, who decided and why, ready to share with funders and banks.
African names
Names are personal. Matching should respect them.
Global tools are tuned for European names and miss the people they should find, or flag the wrong ones. VerityScan understands how names work across the continent.
Every match shows exactly why it matched, in plain language, so your team can decide with confidence.

Lists and data
African lists alongside global ones, and only data you can trust.
A partner can be cleared internationally and still be listed at home. VerityScan checks both, and keeps the data clean.
02
Development bank debarments
World Bank and African Development Bank debarments, which matter for every grant that touches public money.
03
National lists
Domestic designations such as Kenya's are being added country by country, alongside South Africa and Nigeria.
Clean data, fewer false alarms
- Official and authoritative sources only, never Wikipedia or crowd-sourced data.
- Titles, legal suffixes and noise words are removed before matching.
- Duplicates in your partner lists are spotted and skipped, so each partner is screened once.
- Every result records the exact version of each list it searched.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
Do you cover national sanctions lists?
Yes, that is central to VerityScan. International lists and development bank debarments are live today, and national lists such as Kenya's are being added country by country. The Sources page always shows exactly what is covered and when it was last updated.
How do you handle African names?
VerityScan recognises spelling variants such as Mohamed, Mohammed and Mohamud, reads Arabic and Ge'ez scripts, handles surname-first order, Somali and Ethiopian naming, and titles such as Alhaji, Mzee and Sheikh. Every match explains why it matched.
Who is behind VerityScan?
VerityScan is developed and operated by DaySeven Holdings (Kenya) Limited, part of DaySeven Group. It is built and maintained by a team of African engineers, data specialists and compliance practitioners with more than ten years' experience delivering systems for African organisations.
Is this legal clearance?
No. Results are decision support. The platform finds and explains potential matches; your team decides, and every decision is documented and reviewed by a second person.
What does FATF Recommendation 8 mean for us?
Recommendation 8 asks for risk-based, proportionate measures for non-profits. It does not treat NPOs or beneficiaries as suspects. Screening your partners proportionately, and recording why, is what it expects.
What happens to the names we screen?
Your organisation remains the data controller and we act as your processor. Names are never sent to analytics, and trial searches are deleted after 90 days.
What do I get in the free trial?
Five single-name searches after you verify your email, with full explanations and a watermarked sample report.
Why are prices not listed?
Each plan is priced to your organisation's size and screening volume, so you only pay for what fits your budget. Request pricing and we'll reply within two working days.
