Global Sanctions check

A global sanctions check is a comprehensive screening process that searches through international watchlists, databases, and records to identify individuals who may be involved in money laundering, terrorist financing, or other criminal activities. This vital security measure helps organizations maintain compliance with important regulations such as the Anti-Money Laundering Act and the Patriot Act, while protecting their interests from potentially harmful associations.

The check process is remarkably efficient, requiring only basic information such as the candidate's full name, date of birth, and current address. Once initiated, the system searches through over 1,800 international enforcement databases and global watchlists across 190 countries, all of which are updated every 24 hours. This ensures that organizations receive the most current and accurate information about their candidates.

The results of a global sanctions check can reveal a wide range of critical information, including connections to politically exposed persons (PEPs), involvement with state-owned entities, presence on global sanctions lists, and any negative media coverage. The comprehensive report (estimated to be delivered within 5 working days) provides organizations with the confidence they need to make informed hiring decisions while maintaining regulatory compliance and protecting their reputation.
