Pass partner diligence with real evidence, not screenshots
Sponsor banks and enterprise partners ask hard questions about your payment controls. Kontext gives you examiner-ready answers backed by cryptographic proof.
What sponsor banks and partners usually ask
Every question maps to evidence Kontext captures automatically.
“Who approved this payment?”
Full approval chain with timestamps, authority level, and policy reference for every payment decision.
“What checks ran before funds moved?”
OFAC/SDN screening results, EDD threshold checks, and counterparty verification — all with proof they ran before execution.
“Can you prove this record hasn't been modified?”
Tamper-evident digest chain where every record is cryptographically linked. Any modification breaks the chain.
“Which policy version was in force?”
Exact policy rules evaluated at decision time — threshold values, approval requirements, screening configurations.
“Can you export the evidence?”
Structured case packets in JSON, CSV, or examiner-ready format with payment summary, policy checks, and integrity markers.
“How do you handle sanctions screening?”
Built-in OFAC SDN screening with timestamped results, list version tracking, and pluggable provider support for Chainalysis and OpenSanctions.
“Who or what initiated this payment?”
Initiation source tracking — whether human, workflow, API, or AI agent — with agent identity, instruction reference, and approval requirements.
A sample diligence packet for a single payment
Every payment decision produces a structured evidence record with policy checks, screening results, and cryptographic proof.

Where most payment startups fall short
- No tamper-evident proof that compliance checks ran before payment execution
- Audit trails reconstructed after the fact from application logs
- Screening evidence stored separately from payment records
- No structured export format — diligence responses built from screenshots
- Policy versions not captured at decision time, making retroactive review unreliable
When AI agents are part of the payment flow
If software agents can initiate, recommend, or influence payment actions, reviewers often need additional clarity on initiation source, control boundaries, approval requirements, and exception handling. Kontext packages this context into the same evidence workflow used for broader diligence and audit preparation.
Diligence prep before and after Kontext
- Weeks of manual evidence collection
- Screenshots and spreadsheets for reviewers
- No proof screening happened before execution
- Inconsistent formats across payment rails
- Re-do prep every time a partner asks
- Structured evidence packets generated automatically
- Examiner-ready exports replace ad hoc collection
- Cryptographic proof of screening sequence
- Unified evidence format across all payment rails
- Diligence responses backed by verifiable evidence
