Wallet screening your fee earners can act on, and your clients can see.
A bespoke WalletShield report is prepared for your firm and your matter. One page, a red, amber or green flag with the action it implies, the reasons behind it in plain English, and what it means for the file. The full screening evidence sits behind it for the day the decision is questioned.
Built by Greengage, who bank crypto-native firms across the UK. Every report is screened by two independent providers against the OFSI, OFAC SDN, EU and UN consolidated sanctions lists, and carries the date and time it was run.
A dashboard is not a document.
Screening tools are built for a compliance team that lives in them every day. A professional firm has a different problem. A partner needs to decide something on a matter this week. The client is paying for the check. And in two years, somebody may ask what was done, why, and on what date.
That calls for a document, not a screen. It needs your firm's name on it, the matter reference, the person who asked for it, a finding, and a recommended action. It needs to be readable by somebody who has never opened a blockchain explorer.
That is what a bespoke report is. We run the screening and write it up for the matter.
Everything on one page, in the order a fee earner reads it.
- Prepared for your firm. The report opens with your firm name, the matter reference, the fee earner who requested it, and the purpose of the screening. It reads as a document produced for that matter, not a tool output forwarded on.
- The address and the network. The full address screened, and the chain it sits on: Bitcoin, Ethereum, BNB, Tron or Litecoin.
- A score, a flag, and an action. A risk score from 0 to 100, banded red, amber or green, with the action that band implies written next to it: proceed, review, or stop and refer to your MLRO (Money Laundering Reporting Officer, the person accountable for a firm's anti-money-laundering sign-off).
- Why this flag. Two or three sentences of plain English explaining the result. Nothing to interpret, nothing to convert.
- What drove the score. Three to five specific findings: which lists came back clear, where the value came from, how the transaction pattern reads, and whether both screening providers agree with each other.
- At a glance. Value screened, when the wallet was first seen, how many counterparties were analysed, and how many findings were returned.
- What this means for your file. The practical part. What to do now, what to record, and when to screen again.
- An audit footer. Report ID, the time screening completed, the lists checked, and the trace depth. The report stands on its own months later, without you in the room.
One page, or a half-page file note.
Both formats print on A4. The one-page version reads as a document. The half-page version ends on the fold line, so it files as a short note. Firms tend to have a strong preference once they see both, and we produce whichever suits your file.
A summary for the decision, the full evidence for the challenge.
Every bespoke report comes as a pack of two documents.
The bespoke one-pager. Prepared for your firm. This is the one that goes on the matter file, and the one you can put in front of the client who is paying for the check.
The full screening report. Three to four pages of the underlying evidence: every risk category, the exposure tables, the counterparty detail, the data sources and the methodology.
Most people only ever read the first. The second matters on the day somebody asks how you reached the conclusion, and being able to produce it yourself, from the file, is the whole point of having it.
Three formats, three departments.
A conveyancer and a disputes partner are different buyers inside the same firm. These are real reports in the real format, built on illustrative data.
Source of funds on a residential purchase — green, score 6
A deposit funded by a Bitcoin disposal, traced back to a registered exchange over a four-year holding period. What a clean result looks like, and why it is clean.
Counterparty on a share purchase settled in stablecoin — amber, score 58
The result that needs a judgement call, and how the report frames one without making it for you.
Asset tracing on a fraud claim — red, score 95
Direct exposure to a sanctioned address and a one-hop link to a ransomware cluster. The report telling you to stop.
Firm names, matters and addresses in the samples are invented, and every page is marked as illustrative. If it would help, we will prepare a sample carrying your own firm's name before we meet.
Built for the people who have to explain the check.
Law firms
Source of funds on conveyancing and residential property. Counterparty screening on corporate transactions settled in cryptoassets. Asset tracing in commercial disputes.
Accountancy and audit
Source of funds and source of wealth work, and client onboarding where cryptoassets are in the picture.
Corporate finance
Screening a counterparty on a transaction, and diligence on a target holding digital assets.
Insolvency and recovery
Identifying and tracing cryptoassets in an estate.
These look like four different jobs. They share one feature: you are running the check on somebody else's behalf, you have to justify the cost of it, and you have to be able to explain the answer to somebody who is not a specialist.
Four steps, and no integration project.
- Tell us the matter. The addresses, your firm and matter reference, the fee earner requesting it, and what the screening is for.
- We screen. Two independent providers, five chains, and the OFSI, OFAC SDN, EU and UN consolidated sanctions lists, traced to a depth of five hops.
- We write it up. Prepared for your firm, in the format your file needs, with the reasons in plain English and a recommended action.
- You file it. The one-pager goes on the matter, the full report sits behind it, and both carry the date the check was run.
What the report is, and what it is not.
We are Greengage. We bank crypto-native firms across the UK, so we built WalletShield to the standard our own compliance team accepts rather than a lighter version for people who only need the basics. We are publicly associated with CryptoUK and the Digital Pound Foundation.
Two things appear on every report we produce, because a professional reader deserves to see them stated rather than buried:
WalletShield is a screening tool, not advice. It reports what the blockchain and the sanctions lists showed at the time of the check. It does not determine whether you may act, and it is not legal or regulated advice. The decision on the file stays with your firm and its MLRO.
A screen is a point in time. Every report carries the date and time it was run, and says when to screen again. That date is a large part of what makes the check defensible two years later.
