Direct access to leading database providers.


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 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 via secondary identifiers.


Minimize irrelevant results by using secondary identifiers (dates of birth, gender, domicile) or screen only for a small number of risk factors (e.g., sanctions only). Pick data vendors with a high proportion of records containing DOBs.

Seamless integration into a robust compliance case manager.


Fulfil your recordkeeping duties under Art. 22 and Art. 74 AMLO-FINMA (here) by resolving hits in the built-in Case manager. Showcase your firm's sanction due diligence (here) by giving 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, is up to date and admits alternative spellings of prohibited persons and countries.

Continuous sanctions screening throughout the day.


OFAC tends to publish its updates at around midday EST (UTC -05:00) while other regulatory datasets may be refreshed at any time. Our cron jobs run continuously throughout the day, but at least four times a day, at 12:00, 18:00, 24:00, and 06:00.

Undue diligence on counterparties can expose a company to lawsuits, regulatory fines and may entail legal proceedings against senior management.


Bad governance and corporate malpractice can lead to criticism from NGOs and erode a brand’s integrity.


We specialize in enhanced due diligence (EDD) in Switzerland and ensure Swiss corporates, financial institutions, independent asset managers, lawyers and fiduciaries make informed decisions when doing business with new customers and suppliers.


Background checks


In Switzerland, background checks on existing and prospective customers have gained in importance over the recent years and are not only limited to banks, but are also required from independent asset managers, fiduciaries and lawyers.


360 Screenings detects the following risk factors:


  • 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 (SOEs): 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, knowledge tags, risk codes
