What this means for your file

No listing means the standard risk-based approach applies to Albania. Jurisdiction lists change several times a year — and geographic risk is only one factor: the parties themselves still need sanctions, PEP and adverse-media screening.

Every FIRMCY screening applies these jurisdiction lists automatically — alongside sanctions, PEP and adverse-media checks — and writes the geographic findings into an audit-ready report. New organisations get 100 free credits, no card required.
