Frequently asked questions

We have set up a radically different technical architecture, leveraging data science and machine learning to understand risk computationally. While we still review data manually, our approach results in data being updated in minutes rather than months. By collecting data from such a broad range of global sources, we are able to update our data faster using automated processes. We also are able to corroborate & validate entities and enhance existing data such as DOBs and photographs. We compile disparate data into consolidated, structured profiles with clear, traceable source data and relations to other risk entities. Have the context to make the right risk decisions with a single comprehensive profile, enhanced with the most up-to-date Adverse Media and AML/CTF information.

Entities on such lists are either involved in law-breaking activities at an international level or in particular jurisdictions under investigation or found guilty of regulatory breaches in their operating industry, which may indicate a significant financial, compliance, or reputational risk.

This information can be used when determining whether or not to engage in a business relationship with potential customers, counterparties, and suppliers. It might equally be of use when making payments and determining whether or not a payment is being made in the furtherance of a crime or as part of a financial crime, such as a money laundering or insider trading scheme.
