Crypto Startups & Small Fintechs
API-first sanctions/PEP checks for onboarding and ongoing monitoring.
Why this segment is under pressure
Sanctions compliance is a gating factor for banking access and licensing. Recent enforcement actions show expectations for geo-controls, IP screening, KYC alignment and ongoing sanctions monitoring. As volumes scale, engineers need low-latency APIs, webhooks and reason codes to automate decisions while keeping humans-in-the-loop.[1]
Startups look for pay-as-you-grow pricing, quick sandbox access, and clear list refresh cadences. Product teams aim to reduce false positives without missing true matches; compliance teams need defensible logs and exports for banks and regulators.
Common challenges we see
- High-volume onboarding with latency constraints
- Webhook-driven change management
- Budget sensitivity at early stages
How MatchAudit helps teams like yours

Recommended workflows
Most teams start with dashboard checks, add CSV batches as volumes rise, and then move to API/webhooks for full automation. For this segment, we typically recommend:
- API for KYC/KYB
- Webhooks for reviews
- Batch for backfills
