Frequently Asked Questions
What does Checkbase do?
Checkbase provides an API that runs lightning-fast due-diligence checks on any New Zealand company. We combine official government filings, director linkages, insolvency events, and trusted media risk signals to deliver an instant credibility snapshot for each entity.
How accurate are the results?
We retrieve data directly from authoritative public sources and apply AI-assisted analysis to highlight potential red flags. While we aim for high accuracy, you should always verify critical facts with primary documents before making decisions.
What sources do you use?
We ingest information from New Zealand government registers, official company filings, director listings, court and insolvency publications, and other reputable public records. We do not rely on user-generated rumours or paywalled data.
Is my API traffic secure?
Yes — all requests are served over HTTPS. We never log sensitive payload bodies, and payment processing is handled externally by Stripe so no card details touch our servers.
Who is Checkbase for?
Lenders, legal teams, recruiters, procurement officers, start-ups, marketplaces — anyone who needs fast, reliable background checks on NZ companies before onboarding or transacting.
Can I download the results?
Absolutely. Each completed scan returns a JSON response and a link to generate a PDF snapshot.
