Validates an EU VAT number against VIES (European Commission) and returns whether it is currently valid, with the registered name and address when the member state provides them. Input: the full VAT number with country prefix, e.g. 'FR40303265045'. Light read: costs 0.2 credit.

Validates an IBAN offline: country-specific length and ISO 7064 mod-97 checksum, for 60+ countries. Returns valid true/false with the country and, when invalid, an actionable reason. This checks structure, not account existence. Light read: costs 0.2 credit.

    "iban": {
      "type": "string",
      "minLength": 5,

Screens a person or company name against open sanctions lists: OFAC SDN and OFAC Consolidated (US Treasury) plus the UN Consolidated List, aliases included. Returns potential matches with their list, programs and a similarity score, and always reports which lists answered, how many entries were screened and when each list was last published to us. Keep 'data_as_of' with the result: a screening record without the vintage of the list it screened against cannot be checked later. A match is a signal for enhanced due diligence, not a legal determination. Costs 1 credit.

      "type": "string",
