Diligence that matches the rest of your stack
Background checks sit beside KYC, leases, and payouts — so screening is not a disconnected PDF trail.
Clear package tiers
Light and Standard cover everyday tenant screening; Entry, Professional, and Executive add partner deep checks — not opaque add-ons.
Accountable pricing
Retail fees cover provider cost plus a transparent HubQuery margin. No surprise “admin” fees at checkout.
Operational reporting
Requests, status, and outcomes live in your dashboard so teams can follow up without email archaeology.
Consent-first by design
You confirm applicant consent before payment — keeping screening aligned with responsible practice.
Turnaround visibility
Typical check turnaround is shown per package so you can set expectations with clients and applicants.
Verified requesters only
Only KYC-verified supply roles can initiate checks — protecting applicants and platform integrity.

Screen with confidence before you hand over the keys
Background checks are available now in Nigeria for verified supply roles. Sign in, complete identity verification if needed, then request a package from your dashboard — pricing above matches live checkout.
Identity checks use third-party providers and government registries. HubQuery does not guarantee the accuracy of those records and verification is not an endorsement of any person or listing. See our Account Verification Policy.
