Each of your 3 free full assessments produces a report like this.
Start freeThis is the report you get for each client you check with a full assessment: sanctions lists, politically exposed persons (PEPs) and adverse media, each with its source. A full assessment usually takes about a minute and a half. You, or your firm’s reviewer, read the report and sign it off; the decision on the client stays yours. When nothing is found, the report still records what was checked and when.
The adverse-media findings make this client high risk. Apply enhanced due diligence before you decide. The risk level you give the client, and whether you take on or keep the client, are your decisions.
| What counted | Detail | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Adverse media: 3 findings | Financial crime, with the client as the wrongdoer: a criminal conviction, a regulator’s order and a press report | Puts the client in the high band |
| Review needed | A confirmed financial-crime finding cannot be cleared automatically | A person must review it |
Shortened here: a real report also gives a score out of 100 and how much each finding added.

Shortened here: a real report shows whether the client’s nationality or place of birth is on the FATF or EU high-risk lists, with the source and its date.
None found.
Shortened here: with a match, a real report shows the list, the listing reference, other names used, positions held, and how well the date of birth, nationality, gender and place of birth fit your client.
3 findings, high severity. Each one is traced to its source.
Shortened here: a real report links each finding to its source page and keeps a copy of the page as evidence.

Not yet reviewed. Someone qualified must record a decision before anyone relies on this report.
Once reviewed, the report records the decision, the reason, who reviewed it and when. If your firm uses a second reviewer, a high-risk sign-off goes to them.
Shortened here: a real report gives the check’s reference, a fingerprint (SHA-256) of the result so that any later change shows, and a log of each step — checked, reviewed, report produced — with who did it and when.
A confirmed sanctions match always makes a client high risk, and a politically exposed person is at least medium risk. Names are matched broadly so that spelling differences do not hide anyone; then date of birth, nationality, gender and place of birth are compared to judge whether each match is really your client. A poor fit is shown to you for review — it never hides a match or lowers the risk.
Legal basis. Screening conducted as part of customer due diligence under applicable AML/CFT obligations.
Keeping the report. Retained under the firm’s AML record-keeping obligation (typically a minimum of 5 years from the end of the business relationship or the transaction). The lawful basis is recorded for each check.
Run your own. Start with 3 free full assessments — sanctions, PEP and adverse-media checks, each with a report for your file. No card needed.
