LSEG World-Check On Demand

A financial institution or payment provider may need newly published sanctions information to enter its screening platform without waiting for a scheduled batch. World-Check On Demand provides API access to structured content covering explicit and implicit sanctions, with query options for relevant sanctions and official-list information. Provenance-tagged values, classifications and standardised fields can help teams interpret the data supplied to their systems. The service delivers risk intelligence to the customer’s environment; the customer defines matching rules, review thresholds, alert handling, escalation paths, and transaction decisions in line with its own policies, risk appetite, governance, and regulatory responsibilities.

Banks, fintechs, and digital banks can use World-Check On Demand to integrate structured risk intelligence into customer onboarding and ongoing screening platforms. The service provides access to records covering PEPs and close associates, adverse media, law enforcement, and regulatory enforcement, alongside sanctions content. Configurable queries allow the organisation to retrieve relevant segments for further filtering within its systems. This supports timely data availability and operational consistency without replacing the organisation’s KYC or AML programme, matching configuration, due diligence controls, human review, or responsibility for determining when further scrutiny is appropriate within its established control framework.

Payment providers, neobanks, and digital wallets can bring World-Check records into transaction and payment-screening platforms through APIs. Access to newly published records, structured categories, and provenance information can help teams keep those systems aligned with available World-Check content. Query configuration supports retrieval of relevant data segments for further filtering within the customer’s environment. World-Check On Demand supplies the data rather than performing the screening check. Customers remain responsible for technical integration, matching configuration, alert investigation, payment decisions, and any legal or regulatory obligations that apply to their services, policies, customers, jurisdictions, and operating model requirements.

Screening operations teams can use structured fields, record categorisation, change information, and reference metadata within customer-managed platforms. World-Check On Demand can feed machine-readable records into automated workflows, while source details and scheme descriptions provide context for reviewers and data teams. Query configuration allows organisations to retrieve segments for further filtering and align data flows with internal processes. The service does not prioritise alerts, resolve matches, or make customer decisions. Reviewers and systems should apply internal matching rules, policies, and controls to determine whether additional checks, evidence gathering, or escalation are required within the relevant workflow.
