Checks

The gateway to ComplyCube's client verification services.

Checks enable you to run various types of verifications against your clients. You can perform the following types of checks:

• Standard AML Screening

• Extensive AML Screening

• Document Check

• Identity Check

The checks API allows you to create, update, validate, and retrieve checks. You can retrieve a specific check as well as a list of all your client's checks.

All checks are asynchronous.
