How credits work

Credits are how checks and monitoring are counted. Here is how they work day to day.

Updated 2026-06

  1. 1

    See your balance

    Your current credit balance shows in the top menu and on the billing page.

  2. 2

    Spend on checks

    Each company check uses one credit.

  3. 3

    Cover monitoring

    Monitoring draws from credits too, so an active watch keeps using a small amount over time.

  4. 4

    Top up when needed

    Add a top up at any time if you need more credits before your next cycle.

Good to know

  • Plan credits refresh each cycle, while top up credits carry over.
  • Your team shares one balance.

Check a company before you commit

Run due diligence on any New Zealand company and see the full picture in one place.
