How prepaid credits work
Prepaid screening credits provide a flexible way to pay for occasional or transaction-based checks without an ongoing monthly subscription. One screening credit is used for each person or organisation screened; alternate, translated and previous names for the same subject are included within the same credit.
Purchase once
Choose a prepaid package and receive an invoice in your selected billing currency. Credits are added to your Kyboa account after payment.
Credits do not expire
Unused screening credits remain available for future checks, making them suitable for irregular or transaction-based screening requirements.
No monthly reset
Your remaining credit balance carries forward and is not replaced or refreshed at the start of each month.
Top up when needed
Purchase another package whenever your balance is running low. Additional credits are added to your existing account balance.
Prepaid screening credit accounts do not receive a recurring monthly allowance. Your balance reduces by one credit for each person or organisation screened and increases when additional credits are purchased.
Are prepaid credits right for me?
Prepaid credits are designed for organisations with legitimate but irregular screening requirements, particularly where checks are needed at a specific transaction, contract or engagement stage.
Real estate and property transactions
Screen buyers, sellers, counterparties, companies or associated individuals when a property transaction takes place.
Legal and professional services
Perform checks when preparing contracts, handling client matters, advising on transactions or beginning a new professional engagement.
Occasional business screening
Suitable for organisations that need proper screening reports and audit records but do not have predictable monthly screening credit usage.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about billing periods, screening credit allowances, plan changes and Premium Registry Credits.
Do prepaid screening credits expire? Show answer Hide answer
No. Unused prepaid screening credits remain available in your Kyboa account until they are used.
Are unused prepaid screening credits refundable? Show answer Hide answer
No. Prepaid screening credit purchases are non-refundable once the credits have been added to your Kyboa account.
Are prepaid screening credits different from Premium Registry Credits? Show answer Hide answer
Yes. Prepaid screening credits are used for screening subjects, with one credit consumed for each person or organisation screened. A company screening may therefore use multiple prepaid screening credits when directors, shareholders or other associated parties are included. Premium Registry Credits are a separate balance used for enhanced company information from supported paid registries, so a company screening may consume both screening credits and a Premium Registry Credit.
What does one screening credit cover? Show answer Hide answer
One screening credit covers one person or organisation screened. Alternate, translated and previous names for the same person or organisation are included within the same credit. A company screening may use multiple screening credits when directors, shareholders or other associated parties are screened. Premium Registry Credits are separate and may be required for enhanced company information from supported paid registries.
