Source Description
World-Check's proprietary database and tools have direct uses in financial compliance, anti-money laundering (AML), Know Your Customer (KYC), Politically Exposed Person (PEP) screening, enhanced due diligence (EDD), fraud prevention, government intelligence and enforcement, and other identity authentication, background screening and risk-prevention practices.
World-Check correlates unstructured data in order to provide highly structured intelligence that users can quickly and easily access to protect themselves from potential risk. For this task, teams of multi-lingual researchers and editors located around the world, methodically monitor and check hundreds of thousands of public sources including government, sanction and police sites as well as the national and international media. This open source information is correlated into highly structured profiles on terrorists, fraudsters, narcotics traffickers, shell banks, PEPs, organised crime, sanctioned entities, plus many other categories that pose a lesser risk but are equally of interest. Profiles are linked revealing relationship networks between family members, middlemen and associates - where the real risk often lies.
