    Why now

    Due diligence you can prove

    Supervisors and auditors expect more than "we checked". They want to see what was checked, against which list and when.

    Due diligence duties

    Swiss anti-money laundering law requires identification, clarification and documentation for every business relationship.

    Politically exposed persons

    PEPs require enhanced due diligence. Their status must be established and recorded.

    Sanctions and embargoes

    Financial intermediaries must be organised to prevent breaches of Swiss embargo law. That needs reliable, documented checks.

    What is covered

    Four signal families, one record format

    Sanctions

    SECO, the UN and numerous other international sanctions lists.

    PEP

    Politically exposed persons and their close associates, in Switzerland and internationally.

    Enforcement

    Supervisory and authority measures against persons and companies.

    Adverse media

    Negative press coverage and official notices about persons and companies.

    • Source and list version for every hit
