Coverage by capability
Every check a regulated institution needs to onboard and monitor a customer — orchestrated into one platform, one case, and one audit trail.
Business verification (KYB)
Learn more →Authoritative company data pulled straight from the registry — registered address, status, directors, and beneficial owners — then cross-checked against the documents the applicant submits. Where a registry is thin or closed, we route to document-based verification rather than pretend the data exists.
Identity verification (IDV)
Learn more →Document authentication, biometric liveness, and face-match across 230+ countries through a vendor-agnostic plugin layer. Government-data and eKYC checks are used where a country exposes them, with automatic fallback to document + biometric capture where they do not.
Sanctions, PEP & adverse media
Learn more →Continuous screening against 200+ sanctions and watchlists — OFAC, UN, EU, HM Treasury, and jurisdiction-specific regimes — plus PEP and adverse-media checks at onboarding and throughout the relationship.
Business credit & financials
Learn more →Commercial credit scores, failure and delinquency probabilities, and trade-payment history from the major business bureaux — wired into the same risk model and EDD triggers as the rest of the case.

How we keep this defensible
Coverage numbers are easy to inflate and hard to defend. Ours are built on an expert methodology designed to hold up in front of an examiner.
Coverage means a working source, not a flag on a map
We only count a country as covered for a capability when there is a live, maintained source behind it — a registry connector, an IDV corridor, or a screening list. A coloured map is easy to draw and impossible to defend in front of an examiner.
Vendor-agnostic by design
No single vendor is best everywhere. We orchestrate the strongest registry, IDV, screening, and bureau source for each corridor behind one workflow, so coverage improves as the underlying market matures without you re-platforming.
Every check is evidenced and auditable
Each result is stored with its source, timestamp, and the raw payload it came from. A reviewer can always trace a decision back to the registry record, the document, or the sanctions hit that produced it.
Fail-closed where the data is thin
Some registries have no public beneficial-ownership data and some corridors have weak identity infrastructure. Rather than manufacture false confidence, the platform flags the gap and routes the case to enhanced due diligence.
Frequently asked questions
What does "coverage" actually mean here?
It means there is a working, maintained source behind a capability in that country — a company registry connector for KYB, an identity-verification corridor for IDV, or a sanctions/PEP/adverse-media list for AML. We deliberately avoid counting a market we cannot evidence, because coverage claims have to stand up to regulatory scrutiny.
Do you build all of these data sources yourselves?
No — and that is the point. First Mile Labs is vendor-agnostic. We orchestrate the best registry, IDV, screening, and credit-bureau provider for each corridor into a single case and a single auditable decision, rather than tying you to one data reseller whose coverage is strong in some regions and weak in others.
How often is screening refreshed?
Sanctions, PEP, and adverse-media screening run at onboarding and then continuously — entities are re-screened as lists update, not just once at the start of the relationship. Registry data can also be re-pulled on a schedule for perpetual KYB.
What happens in a country where beneficial-ownership data is poor?
The platform does not pretend the data exists. Where a registry has no usable UBO information, or a corridor has weak identity infrastructure, the case is flagged and routed to enhanced due diligence — document-based verification, additional identity capture, or analyst review — so the gap is handled explicitly rather than hidden.
Can you add a market that is not listed yet?
Yes. The country pages here cover our most-requested markets, but the underlying platform supports onboarding almost anywhere through its orchestration layer. If you operate in a corridor you do not see, we can walk you through exactly what registry, identity, and screening sources are available for it.
