How does NameScan help my business?
NameScan helps businesses ensure they are compliant by assisting them with their KYC processes through our PEP and Sanction screening service. By utilising multiple well known data sources, we provide our users with the option to choose which database they would like to screen an individual or entities name against to ensure they are not a risk to their business.
What types of data can your service provide me with?
NameScan offers multiple data sources which you can utilise to perform your PEP and sanction checks.
Sapphire Checks use the Acuris Risk Intelligence Database. This provides comprehensive coverage of PEP/RCA/SIP worldwide, with 1.4 Million PEP profiles, 1.2 Million Sanction profiles and 400,000 adverse media links.
Emerald Checks use NameScan’s Proprietary Database. This includes extensive coverage of global Sanction lists and a consolidated global PEP list, which is growing daily. It covers the most popular Sanction lists including OFAC, United Nations Sanctions, Australian Sanctions, US Consolidated Sanctions, EU Financial Sanctions, UK Financial Sanctions, Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions (Canada) and Bureau of Industry and Security (US) and more.
Ruby Checks utilise the Thomson Reuters World-Check Watchlists of Politically Exposed Persons (PEPs) and their Relatives and Closes Associates (RCAs), sanctioned individuals and organisations, persons of special interest and special interest entities, to reduce financial institutions’ risks of being associated with money laundering and terrorist financing activities.
