ACCESS Newswire Launches ACCESS Verified to Speed Up Compliant, Accurate Press Releases
ACCESS Newswire Inc. (NYSE American: ACCS) announced ACCESS Verified™ on January 28, 2026 - an AI-driven verification and distribution enhancement built into its press release workflow. The company says it delivers 99.999% accuracy through phrase and context matching and improves speed-to-wire across its platform and partner network. It's available to customers at no additional cost.
For PR and IR teams, this is about confidence and time. ACCESS Verified acts as an intelligent first review before editorial, helping ensure releases are credible, compliant, and newsroom-ready without slowing you down.
Why this matters for PR and Communications
- Faster distribution with fewer back-and-forth edits.
- Consistency with editorial standards and disclosure practices.
- Support for capital-markets communications where accuracy and structure matter.
- No extra fees or workflow sprawl - it's integrated.
How ACCESS Verified works
The system uses AI and LLM-style phrase/word matching to validate common elements in press releases and market-moving announcements. Think of it as an AI editorial assistant that flags inconsistencies and alignment issues before your content reaches a human editor.
Importantly, it complements - not replaces - existing editorial and compliance review. You still control the message. You just get to the wire with more certainty, and faster.
What you can expect
- AI-driven pre-checks that tighten accuracy and structure.
- Industry-leading speed-to-wire, according to the company.
- Support for disclosure-sensitive announcements.
- Seamless fit within the ACCESS Newswire platform.
- No additional cost for existing or new customers.
- A claimed first-to-market approach to AI-enabled verification in distribution.
Rollout and availability
ACCESS Verified is slated to start rolling out February 2, 2026, with full availability to all ACCESS Newswire customers by the end of February. For platform details, visit accessnewswire.com.

Balbirnie, Chief Executive Officer of ACCESS Newswire.
