05Screening · Financial crime compliance

Know who you’re dealing with.

KYC for people and KYB for companies, for anti-money-laundering and counter-terrorist-financing programmes: sanctions, politically exposed persons and their relatives and close associates, watchlists and blacklists, adverse media, regulatory enforcement, beneficial ownership and the court record — at onboarding, in ongoing monitoring and at every periodic review.

One search. Every list, every source, every court.

Each check runs against its own sources and returns what it found — the matched record, the reason it matched and the source behind it — so an analyst can clear a false positive in seconds or escalate a true one with the evidence attached.

AWhat your team asks

Every question a compliance team asks, answered in one search.

Sanctions screening

Is this person or company sanctioned?

Consolidated sanctions lists — the UN Security Council, the EU, the US Treasury’s OFAC, the UK’s OFSI and national lists — with entities owned or controlled by listed persons.

PEPs and RCAs

Are they politically exposed — or close to someone who is?

Politically exposed persons, domestic and foreign, their family members and close associates, and state-owned enterprises.

Watchlists and blacklists

Are they on a list that matters?

Law-enforcement wanted lists, regulatory warnings, debarment and exclusion lists of development banks and governments.

Adverse media

What has been written about them?

Negative news on money laundering, fraud, bribery and corruption, tax evasion, organised crime and misconduct, in many languages.

Regulatory enforcement

Has a regulator acted against them?

Enforcement actions, penalties, licence revocations and decisions of financial and competition authorities.

Litigation and insolvency

Have they been sued, prosecuted or declared insolvent?

Civil litigation, criminal proceedings, insolvency and bankruptcy — from the court record, across borders.

UBO and control

Who really owns and controls the company?

Company registers, officers and shareholders, and the ultimate beneficial owners behind layers of holding companies.

KYB verification

Does the company exist, and is it who it says it is?

Registration, status, registered address and officers verified against official company registers.

Third-party and vendor risk

Can we work with this supplier, agent or distributor?

Customer and vendor risk assessment for procurement, distributors, agents and the supply chain.

Trade compliance

Are the goods, the vessel or the parties restricted?

Export controls and dual-use lists, sanctioned vessels and ports, and the parties behind a shipment.

Financial counterparty risk

Is the bank on the other side sound?

Due diligence on correspondent banks and financial counterparties, their owners and their regulators.

Anti-bribery and corruption

Is there a bribery risk in this relationship?

ABC due diligence on intermediaries and joint-venture partners: officials, state-owned enterprises and red flags.

BThe customer lifecycle

Before the relationship begins, and for as long as it lasts.

Identification and due diligence

The customer identification programme (CIP) and CDD at onboarding: identify the customer and the beneficial owner, understand the relationship, rate its risk.

Enhanced due diligence

EDD for higher-risk customers, PEPs and complex structures — source of funds and wealth, and the full court record.

Continuous monitoring

Perpetual KYC: after the initial screening, every name is watched every day; a change in a list, an article or a court record raises an alert.

Alert handling

Match confidence on every alert and the reasons behind it — fewer false positives, faster decisions, and a periodic rescreen of the whole book when a list changes.

Customer risk assessment

Risk rated from the findings, the jurisdiction, the product and the structure — with the reasons written out, across customer and vendor alike.

Investigations, audit and reporting

Investigative due diligence with the full court record; every search, match, decision and override recorded with its evidence for audit and regulatory reporting.
