The Compliance Gap

Payment infrastructure teams can move money — but can they prove why?

Reconstructing the decision trail for a single flagged payment takes hours of log-diving across systems. Bank partners, auditors, and enterprise customers are asking for more.

Without Kontext

Scattered evidence, manual reconstruction

  • Logs scattered across 4+ systems with no linkage
  • "We think we checked" — no proof screening ran
  • Hours to reconstruct a single flagged payment
  • No exportable evidence for examiner review
  • No record of which system or agent authorized the payment decision
With Kontext

Structured evidence, examiner-ready in seconds

  • Every payment decision linked in one evidence trail
  • Cryptographic proof that screening checks ran
  • Patented tamper-evident audit trail with digest chain integrity
  • Export a complete case packet for any transaction
  • Configurable policy controls for payment thresholds and approval workflows
Command Center

What Gets Captured

The evidence package for a single payment

Every programmable payment generates a structured compliance record with full decision context — from intent to execution to export.

Who It Serves

Built for the teams that own compliance liability

From the compliance team running daily reviews to the CEO presenting controls to the board.

Compliance

Prove every check ran. Export audit-ready evidence for examiner review and bank partner due diligence.

Risk & Fraud

Anomaly detection flags unusual patterns before they become incidents.

Internal Audit

Patented tamper-evident digest chain proves no records were altered after the fact.

Payments Product

Add compliance controls without rebuilding your payment stack. Works across stablecoin, card, and banking rails.

Platform Engineering

One SDK integration. Works whether payments are triggered by autonomous agents, orchestration systems, or direct API calls.

Assess Your Stack

Can your stack explain why a payment was allowed?

Assess one payment flow in under 5 minutes. See your evidence gaps, audit readiness score, and a remediation roadmap — no signup required.

One Integration

One integration. Full evidence trail.

Wrap your payment call once — whether it's triggered by an autonomous agent, an orchestration engine, or a direct API call. Kontext records the decision context around every transfer or payout.

payment-handler.ts
const result = await ctx.verify({
  txHash: transfer.hash,
  chain: 'base',
  amount: '28000',
  token: 'USDC',
  from: sender,
  to: recipient,
  agentId: 'treasury-v2'
});

What happens automatically

1

OFAC sanctions screening runs

Against latest SDN list, result recorded with timestamp

2

Intent context is hashed and bound

SHA-256 hash of payment purpose, scope, and limits

3

Evidence joins patented tamper-evident chain

Each event linked cryptographically to the previous

4

Optional on-chain anchoring

Anchor digest to Base for independent verification

5

Audit-ready export available

JSON or CSV case packet for any transaction

agentId identifies the autonomous system or service account that authorized the payment — captured in every evidence record.

Integration

Drop into your existing payment flows

SDK, CLI, or direct API integration — however your team builds, Kontext fits.

$WHAT IS KONTEXT

Compliance evidence SDK for programmable payments. One call — verify() — captures intent, runs OFAC screening, logs the payment into a tamper-evident digest chain, and returns a structured compliance result. Works across stablecoins, ACH, wire, card, and SEPA rails.

$INTEGRATE IN 3 STEPS
  1. 1. npm install kontext-sdk
  2. 2. Kontext.init({ projectId: '...', environment: '...' })
  3. 3. await ctx.verify({ txHash, rail, amount, currency, from, to, initiator })
$STABLECOIN PAYMENT

Examiner Questions

Three questions your examiner will ask

"Were the counterparties screened?"

OFAC Cleared

Both addresses screened against SDN list v2026.03.18. Result: no match. Check completed in 42ms with full provenance recorded.

"Was this payment authorized for this purpose?"

Intent Verified

Intent hash binds payment purpose (invoice-payment), amount ($28K), and daily limit ($50K). Hash verified against execution parameters.

"Has this audit record been modified?"

Chain Intact

Patented tamper-evident digest chain verified. Position #1,847. Any modification would break the cryptographic link to all subsequent records.

Audit & Incident Response

When someone asks “what happened?”

When audit, compliance, or a bank partner asks what happened with a payment, Kontext gives you:

Complete event trail

Every action from payment initiation through final disposition, linked in sequence.

Exact decision inputs

The data the system had at decision time — amounts, counterparties, thresholds, context.

Policy results at the time

Which screening checks ran, what rules applied, and whether they passed or flagged.

Approval history

Who or what approved, when, and under which authority — human or automated.

Linked execution evidence

Transaction hashes, payment references, and settlement confirmations tied to the decision.

Exportable case packet

One-click export of the full evidence package for examiner review or partner diligence.
