Verification, Tracing & Risk Services with Controlled Scope.
Inquiry Group provides verification, tracing, identity, banking, consumer-risk, commercial and compliance-related support for legitimate business, onboarding, fraud-prevention, due-diligence, collections and other properly supported enquiries.
Start with the reason for the enquiry — then select the appropriate report.
Verification is not a one-size-fits-all search. Different use cases require different information, authority and source conditions. Inquiry Group assesses the purpose first and then identifies what can appropriately be processed.
Identity, KYC & Compliance
Identity verification, onboarding support, AML/PEP screening, watchlist-related checks and associated compliance workflows.
Banking, Property & Tracing
Selected banking verification, property-linked searches and lawful tracing services for supported business or recovery purposes.
Consumer Risk & Collections
Consumer-risk, affordability, credit-related and collections-support information where the applicable requirements are satisfied.
Company & Commercial Risk
Company, director, trust and commercial-risk reporting for supplier, account-opening, contracting and due-diligence environments.
Identity Verification, KYC & Compliance
Support for identity confirmation, onboarding controls and selected compliance screening where the request has an appropriate purpose and any required authority or supporting information is available.
South African ID Verification
Verification support relating to core identity information where confirmation of supplied South African identity details is required.
Biometric Verification
Selected identity-matching support for environments where stronger identity confirmation is appropriate and available.
KYC Support
Know Your Customer support for onboarding processes where identity, supporting documents and customer information require structured review.
AML & PEP Screening
Screening support relating to anti-money-laundering risk, politically exposed persons, sanctions and associated watchlist information.
Watchlist Monitoring
Ongoing or repeated screening support where continued visibility may be more appropriate than a once-off check.
Driver’s Licence Data Support
Selected South African driver’s licence data or barcode-related verification support where relevant to a legitimate onboarding workflow.
Identity, KYC, AML, PEP and related services remain subject to the applicable request purpose, source availability and any required authority, onboarding information or supporting documentation.
Banking, Property & Tracing Services
Selected verification and tracing services can assist where a legitimate business, recovery, due-diligence or investigation-related purpose requires additional identity, location, banking or property-linked information.
Bank Account Verification
Verification support for supplied banking details in appropriate payout, supplier, onboarding, refund-control or fraud-prevention contexts.
Bank Statement Analysis
Selected statement-analysis support where supplied financial records require structured review and the required authority is in place.
Deeds & Property Searches
Property-linked information for suitable asset-tracing, due-diligence or formal enquiry purposes.
Person Name Search
Name-based search support where additional identifying information is required for an appropriate tracing or verification matter.
Contact-Linked Verification
Selected contact-linked tracing or verification where a known number or contact point forms part of a legitimate enquiry.
Consumer & Expanded Tracing
Different trace levels may assist with locating updated contact, address, employer or related information, depending on the permitted service and data returned.
Tracing, banking and property searches are not unrestricted access tools. Requests are assessed against the reason for enquiry, available authority and the rules applicable to the requested information.
Consumer Risk, Collections & Credit Support
Consumer-risk information may support affordability review, collections preparation, repayment-risk assessment and other permitted credit-related decisions where applicable requirements are satisfied.
Express Credit Score
Selected score-based consumer-risk support where an initial risk indication is appropriate and permissible.
Affordability Assessment
Affordability-related outputs supporting repayment or financial suitability review in appropriate structured contexts.
Consumer Credit Reports
Consumer credit-reporting support where the request falls within the applicable prescribed or permissible purpose and authority requirements.
Collections Snapshot
Collections-focused information that may assist with file assessment, repayment-risk review and recovery decision-making.
Default-Related Checks
Selected adverse or default-related information where such access is permitted and relevant to the matter.
Debt-Recovery Support
Suitable tracing, collections and consumer-risk outputs may be combined to support more informed lawful recovery preparation.
Consumer credit information is not a general public-access product. Some requests may require a prescribed purpose, consent or other authority before processing can take place.
Commercial, Company & Trust Risk Services
Company and entity reporting can support supplier vetting, business onboarding, director checks, trust validation, commercial credit review, contracting and broader due-diligence processes.
CIPC Director Information
Director-linked reporting support to assist in confirming the individuals connected to a registered company.
Business & Company Reports
Entity-linked information to support confirmation of company details, registration information and due-diligence review.
Business Quick Vetting
Summary-level business review for situations where a preliminary understanding of an entity is required before deeper due diligence.
Trust Information Support
Trust-linked information for appropriate verification of trust details, trustee relationships or entity status.
Commercial Credit Reports
Commercial risk and credit-related reporting support for suitable supplier, account, lending or business-decision environments.
Entity Due-Diligence Support
Selected company, director, trust and commercial-risk information may be combined for broader entity assessment where appropriate.
Commercial reporting can be useful for supplier screening, partnership assessment, account-opening controls, contract decisions and other legitimate business-risk processes.
Sensitive information requires a controlled request process.
Depending on the service, Inquiry Group may need a clear purpose, identity details, a mandate, consent, supporting documents or other information before the request can be assessed or processed.
The request should explain why the information is required and the context in which it will be used.
Certain services may require written instruction, mandate or other evidence of authority before processing.
Certain consumer, credit or identity-related services may require consent or another recognised lawful basis before they can proceed.
Identity details, business details, onboarding records, recovery documents or other supporting records may be necessary.
Report availability and processing remain subject to the relevant source, platform and service conditions.
Verification support is not unrestricted access to personal information.
The strongest operating position is simple: legitimate purpose, appropriate authority and the correct service for the enquiry. Requests that cannot meet the applicable requirements should not be treated as ordinary searches.
Appropriate verification use cases
The service may support properly framed business, onboarding, compliance, due-diligence or recovery requirements.
- Business and supplier due diligence
- Customer or contractor onboarding checks
- Fraud-prevention and identity-verification processes
- Legitimate debt-recovery and tracing matters
- Permitted consumer-risk and affordability assessment
- Commercial entity and director verification
What the service is not
Sensitive information cannot be treated as an unrestricted search product or used to bypass legal, contractual or provider restrictions.
- No unrestricted “search anyone” facility
- No improper personal-data enquiries
- No guarantee that every requested search will qualify
- No guarantee that every source will return data
- No bypass of applicable privacy or credit-information requirements
- No circumvention of platform or source restrictions
What are you trying to establish?
Start with the legitimate information need rather than choosing a report blindly. Inquiry Group can then determine the appropriate route and what supporting requirements may apply.
Identity and onboarding verification.
Where you need to confirm supplied identity information or support a KYC, AML, PEP or onboarding process, provide the purpose of the check and the information already available.
Lawful tracing for supported matters.
Where a legitimate matter requires updated contact, property or related tracing information, send the existing information and explain the purpose of the enquiry.
Consumer-risk and collections support.
Credit-related information requires a properly framed purpose. Explain the financial or recovery context and any authority or consent already available.
Commercial and entity due diligence.
Supplier, contractor, partner and company checks can combine relevant registration, director and commercial-risk information according to the purpose of the enquiry.
Purpose first. Authority second. Processing only after the requirements are clear.
Sensitive searches should not begin with a report name alone. The matter is first assessed so the correct service and any supporting requirements can be identified.
Send the type of information required, the reason for the request and the basic details already available.
Determine whether the request fits the relevant service and what mandate, consent, documentation or authority may be required.
Confirm the appropriate report or search, the available scope and any outstanding information required before processing.
Once the required information and authority are in place, the request can be processed subject to source and service conditions.
Sensitive enquiries require clear boundaries.
Availability depends on the service requested, the purpose of the enquiry, available supporting information and the rules applying to the underlying source.
Can anyone request a trace or personal-information search?
Do some searches require consent?
Can Inquiry Group perform business due diligence?
Are tracing services available for debt recovery?
Can you verify bank account details?
Do you provide consumer credit information?
Is every report guaranteed to return information?
What should I send with my enquiry?
Tell us what you need to establish — and why.
Send the service required, the purpose of the enquiry and the information already available. Where consent, mandate, supporting documentation or another requirement applies, that can be identified before processing begins.
