In the ever-evolving world of financial crime, watchlists serve as crucial roadmaps, guiding Due Diligence & Financial Professionals (DNBFPs) through the labyrinth of potential risks. From criminal records to Interpol’s most wanted, these lists hold vital information on individuals and entities associated with illegal activities. Embracing AML Pulse as your trusted navigator empowers you to leverage the power of watchlist screening, safeguarding your business from harmful interactions and fostering a safer financial ecosystem.

Watchlists

A multitude of watchlists exist, each focusing on specific types of risks:

• Criminal Records: National and international databases containing individuals convicted of financial crimes, fraud, and other offenses.
• FBI and Interpol Most Wanted: Lists of individuals sought for serious crimes, including terrorism, drug trafficking, and organized crime.
• Sanctions Lists: Compiled by national and international authorities, these lists identify individuals and entities subject to economic and financial restrictions.
• Terrorism Watchlists: Maintained by governments and intelligence agencies, these lists identify individuals suspected of involvement in terrorism or terrorist financing.
• Other Crime Databases: Additional resources exist for specific industries or risk areas, such as offshore banking, environmental crimes, and human trafficking.
