What data does the Prometiam Risk Intelligence API cover?

Company data across five countries: Spain from the official BORME registry (3.8M+ entities), France from BODACC (12.4M+ entities), the UK from Companies House (7.6M+ entities including 12M+ Persons with Significant Control), Ireland from the CRO (817K+ companies, company-level), and Poland from the KRS (732K+ companies, company-level), plus insolvency notices, sanctions and US export-control screening, and corporate event timelines. Data updates daily from primary sources.

Is the API GDPR-compliant and hosted in the EU?

Yes. All data is hosted in AWS eu-central-1 (Frankfurt, Germany). No data leaves the EU. The platform is GDPR-compliant, ISO 27001 aligned, and operates under EU data residency rules.

How is Prometiam different from Pappers, Societe.com, or Creditsafe?

Prometiam is API-first, EU + UK-native, and transparent: pricing is public (Free, €9.99, €29.99, €99.99, Enterprise), and data covers Spain (BORME), France (BODACC), the UK (Companies House), Ireland (CRO), and Poland (KRS) under one unified schema and a single API key. No per-user seat fees, no 'contact sales' for a quote.

What API endpoints are available?

GET /companies/search, /companies/{id}, /people/{id}, /notices/{id}, /company-events/search, /company-events/timeline, /search (insolvency), /records/{id}, /sanctions/screen, /coverage, and /account. Full docs at https://www.prometiam.com/risk-api/docs

How do I get an API key?

Sign up at https://www.prometiam.com/signup to receive an rk_live_ key. The Free plan includes 1,000 calls/month with no credit card required.

How much does the Prometiam Risk API cost?

Pricing is public and self-serve: Free (1,000 calls/month, no credit card), Starter (€9.99/month, 10,000 calls), Professional (€29.99/month, 100,000 calls with full sanctions screening), Scale (€99.99/month, 1,000,000 calls), and Enterprise (custom). All five countries are included in every tier at no upcharge.

What sanctions lists are screened?

Five consolidated lists in one trigram-fuzzy call with confidence scoring: EU consolidated, UN, US OFAC SDN, UK OFSI, and the French Registre des gels. Refreshed daily, with optional watchlist webhooks on the Professional tier and above.

What is the difference between Verifex and Prometiam?

Verifex is screening-first: sanctions, PEP, watchlist, and debarment screening with an audit-grade evidence trail, sourcing company data from the GLEIF LEI registry. Prometiam is registry-depth-first: it ingests official national registries (Spain BORME, France BODACC, UK Companies House, plus Ireland and Poland at company level) with directors, UK PSC beneficial owners, and corporate-event timelines. Both screen sanctions; only Verifex offers PEP.

Does Prometiam offer PEP screening like Verifex?

No. Prometiam does not have PEP or adverse-media data — this is where Verifex is genuinely stronger. Prometiam screens sanctions and US export-control lists (six sources, 44,000+ active entities) but not politically exposed persons. If PEP screening is a hard requirement, Verifex or a dedicated PEP provider is the better fit.

How does pricing compare?

Both publish self-serve pricing. Verifex runs in USD from a free 50-screen plan to $49 (Starter), $99 (Growth), $249 (Pro). Prometiam runs in EUR: Free (1,000 calls/mo), Starter €9.99, Professional €29.99 with full sanctions, Scale €99.99. The right pick depends on whether you are paying primarily for screening (Verifex) or for registry data plus screening (Prometiam).

Can Prometiam replace Verifex for KYB onboarding?

For EU + UK counterparties where you need real registry verification plus sanctions screening, yes — /companies/search, /companies/{id}, and /sanctions/screen cover that leg. But Prometiam lacks PEP and adverse-media, and it does not provide the decision-replay evidence workflow Verifex is built around. Many teams run both.

Is Prometiam GDPR-compliant?

Yes. Data is hosted in the EU (Frankfurt). Officer data is processed under GDPR Article 6(1)(c) (legal obligation of public registries) and Article 6(1)(f) (legitimate interest in fraud prevention).

Verifex Alternative

An honest comparison for teams weighing Verifex against Prometiam for KYB, company data, and sanctions screening. Verifex is a screening-first compliance API — the right choice if your priority is sanctions plus PEP screening with a defensible audit trail ("Evidence Capsule", decision replay, decision hashes), transparent per-screen pricing from $49/month, and continuous monitoring. Prometiam is a registry-depth API scoped to EU + UK with official national-registry data, public EUR pricing, and a free tier.

The core difference

Verifex sources its company/KYB records from the GLEIF LEI registry and screens them against sanctions, PEP, watchlist, and debarment lists — it explicitly does not pull from each country's official corporate registry. Prometiam ingests the official registries directly: Spain (BORME), France (BODACC), and the UK (Companies House), plus Ireland (CRO) and Poland (KRS) at company level. If you need real registry depth — directors, officers, UK PSC beneficial owners, corporate-event timelines — Prometiam is built for that. If you need PEP screening or audit-grade decision defensibility, Verifex is genuinely stronger.

What Prometiam covers

One schema over official registries for 5 countries, daily updates, corporate-event data, and sanctions plus US export-control screening across six sources (EU, UN, OFAC, UK OFSI, French gels, and the US Consolidated Screening List) covering 44,000-plus active entities. Also VIES VAT validation and GLEIF LEI lookup. Honest scope: no PEP data and no adverse-media — where Verifex leads.

Honest trade-offs

Prometiam: official EU + UK registry depth (5 countries), UK PSC beneficial owners, corporate-event timelines, public EUR pricing (€0 / €9.99 / €29.99 / custom), free tier, EU residency (Frankfurt). No PEP, no adverse-media.
Verifex: PEP screening, adverse-media / news screening, an audit "Evidence Capsule" with decision replay and hashes, continuous monitoring, per-screen USD pricing from $49/mo. Company data is GLEIF/LEI-based, not official national registries.
