The problem
Fraud is common across Latin America, and foreigners doing business there have almost no way to check who they are dealing with. The data exists — police records, attorney general filings, business registries — but it is scattered, inconsistently formatted, and effectively unsearchable.
What it does
Verificaa normalises that data and puts a single lookup in front of it. Enter a person or a business, get back what the public record actually says.
An AI layer sits on top to flag patterns a human would miss: identities that appear across unrelated filings, businesses registered days before a transaction, documents that do not reconcile.
Engineering notes
- Data-mining pipeline that crawls open Colombian and LATAM data and normalises it
- Integrations with police, attorney general, and business databases
- REST API with key management for developer access
- Custom PHP dashboard with a complex user management system
- LLM-driven fraud detection infrastructure
Result
Users have reported the platform helping in two cases where someone's safety was at risk, alongside a steady stream of prevented financial loss.
