No account, no card. Result in a few seconds.
We query ANAF, the Romanian tax authority, at the time of the check. We do not keep the CUI you enter.
What you learn about a company
Not a list of features, but answers to the questions you ask yourself before entering a business relationship with a Romanian company.
Can I work with them without tax surprises?
VAT payer, cash-accounting VAT, split VAT, e-Factura registration, tax inactivity.
- VAT and e-Factura status
- VIES — intra-EU VAT
How are they doing financially?
Turnover, net profit, number of employees, year-on-year trend, indicative risk indicator.
- MFP — filed financial statements
- Score 0–100, with every point explained
Are they insolvent or in court?
Insolvency proceedings from the Insolvency Proceedings Bulletin and court files from ECRIS.
- BPI — insolvency
- ECRIS — court files
Who is behind them?
Directors, shareholding structure and links between companies, from public registers.
- ONRC — management and shareholders
- NGO Register — associations and foundations
Is anything being said about them?
Mentions in the Romanian press over the last 12 months, and contracts with public institutions.
- GDELT — press, indicative
- SEAP/SICAP — public contracts
All data come from official public sources. PepCheck gathers them, puts them together and keeps each one with its source and date — the decision about the business relationship remains yours.
PEP screening works differently. On purpose.
A company check uses public data about a legal entity. PEP screening searches for individuals — people who are not our customers and have no way of knowing they are being searched for. That is why we do not open it to everyone.
What we ask for first
A one-time declaration, signed by a director of the organisation: that you have a legal basis for screening, that you use the results only for AML/CTF purposes and that you accept the data processing terms. It is recorded with the date, time and IP address.
It is not a formality. In an inspection the question is not only did you check?, but were you entitled to check? The declaration answers the second question, and the audit trail the first.
More than 470 lists, one search
International sanctions, politically exposed persons, wanted lists, financial debarments and beneficial ownership registers, through OpenSanctions.
Phonetic matching, not just literal
Finds transliterations and diacritics spelled differently — Gheorghiu and Gheorghiou lead to the same person.
A match is not an accusation
Lists contain namesakes, and politically exposed status means enhanced due diligence, not guilt. We show you the score and the source, so you can decide.
Certificate for negative results
When there is no match, you can issue a document confirming the check, with the date and the lists consulted.
Two ways to work with us
You start company checks on your own, in a few minutes. For PEP screening and AML services we talk first, because both require a contractual framework.

Who is required to do this
Romanian Law 129/2019 requires a wide range of reporting entities to know their customers. If you are on the list, checking is not optional — and proof that you did it matters as much as the check itself.
Non-bank financial institutions
Non-bank lenders, pawnshops, payment and money transfer services.
Liberal professions
Lawyers, notaries, bailiffs, chartered accountants, auditors and tax advisers.
Real estate and high-value goods
Real estate agencies, dealers in precious metals and stones, auction houses.
Gambling
Licensed operators, for checking players and payments.
Company service providers
Those who set up companies, provide registered offices or act as directors for others.
Anyone who wants to know who they work with
Company checks do not require you to be a reporting entity. PEP screening does.
Today's check expires
A customer who was clean at onboarding can become insolvent eight months later, or end up on a sanctions list without telling you. Nobody re-checks a whole portfolio by hand — that is why we do it, every month.
- ✓ Automatic re-screening of the entities on your list
- ✓ An in-app alert and a summary e-mail only when something has changed
- ✓ Full history: what it was last month, what it is now
Example of a monthly result
| Level | Entity | What changed |
|---|---|---|
| Supplier B | Insolvency proceedings opened | |
| Customer C | Director changed | |
| Customer A | No change |

Frequently asked questions
Can I check a company without creating an account?
Yes — the box at the top of the page. PEP screening requires an account and a
declaration on the legal basis, because it processes data about individuals.
Why does PEP screening require a declaration?
Because the person searched for is not our customer and does not know they are
being searched for. The legal basis for the search is yours — usually the customer
due diligence obligation under Law 129/2019. The declaration is proof that you have
it, and it is recorded with the date and time.
Which data sources do you use?
Only official public sources: ANAF for tax data at the time of the check,
MFP and ONRC via data.gov.ro, OpenSanctions for PEP and sanctions,
portal.just.ro and ECRIS for court files, SEAP/SICAP for public contracts,
VIES for intra-EU VAT, the NGO Register and the GDELT Project for press coverage.
Does a match mean the person is in trouble?
No. Lists contain namesakes, and politically exposed status is not an accusation —
it means the business relationship requires enhanced due diligence. We show you the
score and source of every match, and the decision remains with the reporting entity.
How up to date are the data?
ANAF data are queried at the time of each check, as published at that moment.
Sanctions and PEP lists are updated daily. ONRC, MFP and SEAP are synchronised
periodically from data.gov.ro.
What does adverse media mean?
Mentions of a person or company in the Romanian press over the last 12 months,
through the GDELT Project. Results are indicative and do not constitute evidence.
What happens to my data?
They are visible only to your organisation. You can export everything we hold about
you in JSON format and delete your account at any time, directly from the application.
Searches remain anonymised in the audit trail, because Law 129/2019 requires it to be kept.
