The problem

A legal obligation with no way to verify it

Under the Property (Relationships) Act 1976, both parties must make full financial disclosure. But verifying that disclosure is complete is slow, expensive, and never comprehensive.

01
Incomplete by design
Manual verification can only cover banks already known to the requesting party. Undisclosed accounts remain invisible — and the system has no way to detect them.
02
Prohibitively expensive
Verifying disclosure through the existing manual process costs $2,000 to $5,000 or more in legal fees — placing fair outcomes out of reach for many separating parties.
03
Slow and disruptive
Bank-by-bank verification takes weeks. Proceedings stall. Settlements are delayed. The human cost — emotional, financial, and legal — compounds at every step.
How it works

One query. One report.
Complete picture.

VeriPath operates through a lawyer-intermediated consent model. The subject authorises a single query — and VeriPath does the rest.

1
Consent is captured
Both parties authorise a single disclosure query — either voluntarily at separation or by Family Court order. Consent is captured independently, before the subject's own lawyer.
2
The lawyer submits the query
The requesting party's lawyer logs into VeriPath, submits the subject's IRD number and consent token. Identity is verified before any query is made.
Lawyer-intermediated · Fully audited
3
VeriPath queries designated banks
Using New Zealand's open banking framework under the Customer and Product Data Act 2025, VeriPath queries all designated financial institutions simultaneously — with the subject's consent.
4
A verified report is generated
A timestamped, lawyer-certified report is produced — showing which institutions hold accounts in the subject's name. This report can be compared directly against what the other party has disclosed.

Pass-through disbursement
VeriPath is priced to be passed through as a straightforward disbursement — just like a court filing fee. No internal budget approval required.

Nothing more.

VeriPath is not a surveillance tool. The platform is designed to return the minimum viable dataset required for legal disclosure verification.

  • Explicit written consent required before any query is executed
  • Full consent audit trail on every report
  • No data retained after report delivery
  • Fully compliant with the Privacy Act 2020 and CPD Act 2025
