Prometeo Expands Account Verification Into a Global Trust Layer With 110+ Country Coverage and New Risk Intelligence
MONTEVIDEO, Uruguay -September 29, 2026- Prometeo, the infrastructure layer that gives businesses transactional certainty in global money movement, today announced Account Verification Boost, a set of upgrades and new capabilities designed to help businesses validate accounts, counterparties and payment risk with greater control and coverage.
The launch brings together three developments:
Expanded account verification coverage across more than 110 countries and five continents.
Risk Intelligence, a new endpoint that provides structured reputational and regulatory information on a company or individual using a legal name and Tax ID.
Account Verification V2, an enhanced validation engine for high-volume onboarding, payout and payment workflows.
“Companies operating across borders need more than a basic yes-or-no account check,” said Ximena Aleman, Co-Founder and Co-CEO of Prometeo. “They need to know that an account is valid, that it belongs to the intended holder and, increasingly, that the company or person behind it is appropriate to engage with. That’s the shift we’re building, not just connecting businesses to the rails, but giving them operational certainty over every transaction that runs through them. With this launch, Prometeo goes deeper, wider and further; strengthening the validation layer itself, extending coverage around the world and adding intelligence about the counterparty behind the account.”
Prometeo’s AI-native solution expanded coverage allows businesses, including banks, payment providers, remittance and foreign exchange companies, marketplaces and treasury teams, and AI agents to use one API and consistent validation logic across markets.
Risk Intelligence is a new reputational and regulatory risk endpoint available as an add-on to Account Verification or as a standalone solution for onboarding and due diligence. It provides structured data on company identity and legal status, ownership, sanctions and regulatory signals, adverse media and corporate registry information. The solution is currently available in Brazil, Peru, Ecuador and Chile, with coverage expanding to Argentina, Colombia, Mexico and the United States. By structuring information from sources such as tax records, corporate registries, sanctions and watchlists, Risk Intelligence is designed to accelerate investigations and support dynamic KYB workflows before a transaction is executed. It complements a customer’s internal compliance policies and decision-making processes.
Account Verification V2 adds configurable workflows, normalized responses, request traceability, sandbox support for migration from V1 and resilient routing across eligible data sources. Customers can select the countries, data points and validation methods relevant to their use case, including account, account-holder name, ID and currency checks, with synchronous or asynchronous operation. The platform also assigns a unique ID and standardized response to each request, making it easier for product, engineering and operations teams to diagnose issues and manage exceptions. Smart routing can redirect requests to another eligible data source when one provider is unavailable, reducing dependency on a single source.
Together, these capabilities are designed to help businesses reduce preventable payment rejections, manual reconciliation and operational friction before funds move.
