Nomino Data

What Nomino Data does

Nominodata LLC is a Nevada-domiciled private risk-and-compliance Data-as-a-Service company, founded in 2006 by Al Macdonald, that sells curated data products and APIs to financial institutions, compliance technology vendors, insurance companies, investigation firms, and identity-verification providers. Its portfolio includes OFACplus (sanctions and watch-list normalization), PEPsplus (politically exposed persons with 7.6M+ media-relationship rows), NegativeNewsPlus (adverse-media search), OneClickCompliance (one-click due-diligence tool), NamesPLUS (name-variant database), and specialized datasets covering cannabis-related businesses, human-trafficking risk, crypto exchanges and dark-web wallets, Russian risk, medical debarments, HIDTA/HIFCA geographies, and Panama Papers associates. The platform is built on Elasticsearch hosted on Amazon Web Services, with data delivered as CSV, XML, or JSON files and through a JSON API; a dedicated Senzing data connector and Abrigo BAM+ integration extend distribution into third-party compliance stacks.

The company monetizes through a mix of annual and monthly data subscriptions, one-time perpetual software licenses (e.g., $499 HIDTA one-time load, $1,500-$10,000 One Click Compliance tiered licenses, $5,000-$10,000 cannabis and Senzing cannabis joint solutions), professional services for integration, and royalties from a 50+ partner/reseller network spanning financial services, insurance, investigations, transaction monitoring, identity verification, and case management. Pricing is largely product- and tier-based with auto-billing on annual subscriptions; enterprise pricing for custom datasets is handled through direct sales and booking calendars. Distribution combines enterprise field sales, an owned e-commerce shop, channel partners, and OEM/embedded integrations including a public GitHub connector. Recognized by Chartis Research as a Category Leader for KYC Data in 2023 and 2024 and as a Leader in Emerging Data in the 2025 FCC50 report, NominoData remains a small (1-10 employee), founder-led operation with no disclosed external funding or acquisitions.

Direct peers

• Sayari: Sayari offers entity resolution, beneficial ownership, and supply chain risk data drawn from corporate registries, Panama Papers, and adverse media. It competes with NominoData's NamesPLUS, Panama Papers, and negative news data products for KYC and EDD use cases.
• ComplyAdvantage: ComplyAdvantage is a venture-backed AML/KYC data and transaction monitoring provider focused on fintech and digital-first banks. It directly competes with NominoData's sanctions/PEP screening products, particularly in the SMB-to-mid-market segment NominoData also targets.
• Kharon: Kharon provides sanctions, export controls, and PEP data with deep research on Russia, Iran, and other sanctioned jurisdictions. Its Russian Risk data product and deep coverage directly overlap with NominoData's Russian Risk Data and broader sanctions/PEP files.

Broad incumbents

• Bureau van Dijk (Moody's): Moody's/Bureau van Dijk provides beneficial ownership, UBO, and entity resolution data via the Orbis platform — a direct competitor to NominoData's entity resolution (NamesPLUS) and UBO-related products, with much greater geographic coverage.
• Dow Jones Risk & Compliance: Dow Jones Risk & Compliance provides sanctions, PEP, adverse media, and beneficial ownership data used by global banks and compliance teams. Directly comparable to NominoData's OFACplus, PEPsplus, and NegativeNewsPlus offerings, with a larger established customer base.
• LexisNexis Risk Solutions: LexisNexis Risk Solutions provides fraud, identity, AML, and compliance data services to financial institutions, insurers, and government. Its WorldCompliance and Bridger products overlap with NominoData's PEPs/sanctions/negative news portfolio, with greater scale and global reach.
• Accuity (LexisNexis): Accuity, now part of LexisNexis Risk Solutions, provides sanctions, PEP, and payment data for AML/KYC compliance. It directly competes with NominoData's OFACplus and PEPsplus products and is bundled into LexisNexis's broader financial crime offering.
• Refinitiv World-Check (LSEG): World-Check is the market-leading KYC/sanctions/PEP screening database for global financial institutions, with much broader coverage and a global sales force than NominoData. It is a direct substitute for OFACplus and PEPsplus in many enterprise RFPs.

Others

• Senzing: Senzing is an entity resolution technology vendor that has a strategic partnership with NominoData (a dedicated data connector is published on GitHub). It is not a direct competitor but rather a complementary technology partner that distributes NominoData's data into AML/KYC workflows.
• Abrigo: Abrigo is a compliance and credit risk platform for community banks and credit unions that integrates NominoData's cannabis business data into its BAM+ product. It is a channel partner and adjacent technology player, not a direct data competitor.
