Person Screening

Trulioo Watchlist is a watchlist screening service that performs Sanctions, Adverse Media, and PEP checks. This watchlist service ensures customers’ user bases are at the lowest risk of sanction list presence, fraud, money laundering, corruption, financial crimes, and terrorism.

One of the most complete watchlist services on the market, Trulioo Watchlist is the AML compliance solution of choice for the world’s largest global marketplaces, financial institutions, and trading platforms. Fully integrated into the Trulioo Platform, Watchlist connects to customers’ eIDV onboarding journeys via a single API to screen and monitor their users against 6,000+ global watchlists and 20,000+ Adverse Media lists both at the point of onboarding and continuously thereafter.


How Trulioo Watchlist Checking Works

  • Trulioo Watchlist uses the same request structure as the rest of Trulioo allowing users to receive both the Watchlist and IDV results in a single API Call
  • Trulioo checks the request information against a multitude of global watchlists, adverse media, and PEP sources worldwide
  • If there is a potential match or a “hit” on the watchlist, further detail is shown in the appended fields
  • The detailed information provided lets clients determine the applicability of the watchlist hit and determine their next steps

Using both Watchlist and Identity Services

Trulioo clients who enable the Trulioo Watchlist with their verification services receive two distinct sets of data for each service per identity-check.
