Program Management from Onboarding to Exam
NGO & CHARITY
A mission-driven and underserved banking market
Nonprofits, charities, and NGOs, including organizations that move funds internationally or operate in higher-risk jurisdictions, are often difficult to bank. Concerns about fund diversion, sanctions exposure, and limited visibility into how money is ultimately used have led many institutions to de-risk the sector entirely, even though the vast majority of these organizations are legitimate and mission-driven.
For financial institutions, this represents a large, mission-aligned customer base. Green Check gives your institution the tools to onboard, monitor, and report on NGO and charity relationships with the same rigor you’d apply to any other high-risk vertical, so you can serve this sector safely and defensibly.

Filling the critical gaps of existing AML systems
We don’t replace your AML system. We efficiently run the high-risk program around it.
Green Check brings transaction data in from your core, compares it against each customer’s expected activity, and adds the due diligence, monitoring, reporting, and relationship management for an efficient, compliant, and defensible program. For the most scrutinized verticals such as cannabis, it goes further, comparing deposits against the business’s own point-of-sale data and state rules and regulations in near real time.
Platform Capabilities
Everything your high-risk program needs, in one place
Five capabilities mapped directly to the pain points compliance teams raise most, led by due diligence and monitoring.
| Capability | Using legacy solutions | Using Green Check |
|---|---|---|
| License & Credential Tracking | Licenses, FinCEN registrations, and policies tracked in spreadsheets, with manual renewal reminders. | ✓Stop tracking licenses in spreadsheets. Keep every FinCEN registration, license, and policy current, with multi-stage renewal reminders so nothing lapses. |
| Due Diligence | EDD has no repeatable process; risk assessments live in spreadsheets with no system of record. | ✓Make due diligence repeatable. Structured onboarding and scheduled ongoing due diligence, backed by a true system of record, with distinct templates per vertical. |
| Account Monitoring + Advanced Insights | Ongoing monitoring is resource-intensive, with no portfolio-level view of compliance posture. | ✓Turn account monitoring into intelligence. Automated review cycles consolidate the period; advanced insights flag activity that strays from expected behavior over time. |
| Regulatory Reporting | Executive and portfolio reporting on high-risk customers is largely absent. | ✓File with confidence. Automated FinCEN filing for SARs and CTRs, plus portfolio reporting filterable by industry, ready to hand to an examiner. |
| API Suite | Compliance data lives in a silo and gets re-keyed by hand into the core and other systems. | ✓Connect Green Check to the systems you already use. APIs push onboarding data, business details, and documents downstream, with no rekeying. |
Our partnership with Green Check allows us to operate an effective, efficient and transparent line of business that is unique to our bank, and this new set of features gives us amazing insights into our program as it grows along with this rapidly expanding industry.
