"Technology is a key enabler in the effectiveness of AML screening. 360core screens more efficiently and on a real-time basis."

Direct access to leading database providers and active list management.


360 Screenings connects to your preferred data provider: LSEG World-Check, Dow Jones Risk & Compliance Database, LexisNexis WorldCompliance Data, Moody's GRID. You decide which Big 4 to use. Or a combination.

APIs designed by experienced compliance specialists.


Integrate in days, not months. Our sanctions screening APIs were co-developed by domain experts. They expose only those endpoints actually needed for efficient name screening and meaningful regulatory reporting.

Reduce false positives with a better data architecture.


Minimize alert overload with secondary identifiers (date of birth, domicile, etc.) and deep-level filter criteria (restrictions depending on risk factors, offence types, country-specific official lists). Select datasets with a high ratio of entries containing DOB.

Seamless integration into a robust compliance case manager.


Fulfil your recordkeeping duties under Art. 22 and 74 AMLO-FINMA (here) and MaRisk AT 6 (here) by resolving hits in the built-in case manager. Showcase your firm's sanction due diligence (here) and give auditable proof of why a flagged customer or transaction is deemed legitimate.

Lend credibility to your Sanctions Compliance Program (SCP) and NNS Framework.


Comply with EU (here), OFAC (here) FATF (here) and industry guidance (here). Ensure your sanctions screening software has no filter faults and admits alternative spellings of prohibited individuals, organizations, aircrafts, vessels, and locations.

List updates around the clock.


The Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) typically publishes its updates around noon EST (UTC -5h), while other regulatory records can be refreshed at virtually any time. Our cron jobs for list updates run continuously, but at least four times a day - at 12h00, 18h00, 24h00, 06h00.

Undue diligence on a counterparty may result in regulatory fines and, in the worst case, licence revocation and criminal proceedings against senior management.


We specialize in enhanced due diligence (EDD) on high-risk business relationships in Switzerland and the EU, ensuring that obliged entities, banks, financial intermediaries, independent asset managers, commodity traders, precious metal dealers, lawyers, and trustees make educated decisions when onboarding and monitoring business relationships, employees, and suppliers.


Background checks


Both in Switzerland (here) and the EU (here), the scope of the Anti-Money Laundering Act (AMLA) is constantly expanding. Thus, not only identifying customers and determining beneficial owners, but also conducting background checks on existing and potential clients have become increasingly important in recent years.


Sanctions controls are no longer limited to banks, but are now also expected of independent asset managers, dealers and, in certain cases, even lawyers, fiduciaries and notaries ("Advisors") where they provide financing, advisory or domiciliation services.


1. configuration of risk factors


a) LNRS


LexisNexis Risk Solutions (here) cover the following five risk factors (also referred to as "segments") in their curated WorldCompliance dataset:


  1. Sanctions: Coverage of almost 160 targeted sanction lists from around the world including OFAC, EU, UN and the Office of Financial Sanctions Implementation (UK)
  2. Enforcements: Over 1,400 enforcement lists and court filings worldwide, e.g., SEC, FCA, Bafin, Autorité des Marchés Financiers (AMF), FBI
  3. Adverse Media: An extensive proprietary database of profiles that have been linked to illicit activities from over 30,000 feeds worldwide in 59 languages
  4. Politically Exposed Persons (PEP): Profiles of PEPs, their immediate family members and close associates
  5. State-Owned Enterprises (SOE): A proprietary list of government-owned and government-linked corporations and businesses with 1% or more investment or ownership by a government, organization, or state


B) Dow Jones


  • Sanctions risks: global sanctions, bribery, corruption and crime screening, including OFAC, EU, UN, OFSI and watchlists issued by SECO (here)
  • AML risks: financial crime and anti-money laundering checks, global coverage of PEPs, their relatives, close associates, related companies
  • State-owned entities: Entities owned by governments (and individuals serving on the board of such SEOs) are particularly vulnerable to corruption and money-laundering risks
  • Negative news screening (NNS): based on 33,000+ news sources from over 200 countries in 60+ languages (all content is deduplicated to avoid going through long lists of similar articles)
  • Registrations: entities registered with a government body such as a regulator
  • Granular risk subcategories: lower-level classifications, PEP rating, predicate offenses


2. configuration of lists


It can take an organization up to 5 times as long to clear an alert for a foreign party than for a domestic one, depending on the analyst's language skills and country expertise. In addition, many sanctions lists contain the same entities. Also, an organization may not want to screen against the sanction lists of particular countries (e.g., Russia, Belarus, China, Iran, etc.).


360 Screenings addresses the related problem of alert overload by providing match risk mitigation strategies, in particular (i) the possibility to exclude selected sanction and enforcement lists of selected countries and organizations from screening alerts and (ii) advanced testing in order to highlight the crossover between sanction sources and the impact on daily operations.
