Why this exists

A four-person bookkeeping firm carries the same Wwft duty as a bank with a compliance department. The same screening, the same risk assessment, the same retention period, the same supervisor who may come knocking. Just without the apparatus to carry it out.

The software that existed was built and priced for the larger end of that market. We started at the other end: that is why there is a free account where no Dutch Wwft vendor offers one, and why the prices are simply on the site instead of behind a quote.

Starting at the smallest firm does not mean it stops there. Every plan carries unlimited users, the file counts run up to unlimited, and the same screening, classification and monitoring run whether you have ten clients or a thousand.

You have to be able to check us

A risk level you cannot explain is worth nothing in a review. So every classification comes out of a rule matrix published on this site rather than a language model: the same client with the same data gives the same outcome, today and in two years.

Which lists and registers we consult is written out too, per source, with the date it was last updated. And a check that could not run never comes out as “clear”: it is reported as incomplete.

Where your data lives

Client data sits on servers in Falkenstein, Germany. What else is in the chain and where it sits, we write out per vendor rather than saying one reassuring sentence about it.

Every plan carries a data processing agreement, the free account included.

What goes in comes back out

Every report exports as PDF and as JSON, whenever you want and without asking. The API hands you all of them at once. Your files are never in a format only we can read.

That is not a nicety. Your retention duty runs for five years after a client relationship ends, so you have to be able to reach them in five years. And the client data you started with is sitting in your own accounting package.
