Business Screening

GlobalGateway Business Watchlist is a watchlist screening service that performs Sanctions, and Adverse Media checks for Businesses. This watchlist service ensures customers’ userbases 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, GlobalGateway Watchlist is the AML compliance solution of choice for the world’s largest global marketplaces, financial institutions, and trading platforms. Fully integrated into the GlobalGateway platform, Watchlist connects to customers’ KYB onboarding journeys via a single API to screen and monitor their users against 6,000+ global watchlists and 20,000+ Adverse Media lists at the point of onboarding and continuously thereafter.


How GlobalGateway Watchlist Checking Works

  • GlobalGateway Watchlist uses the same request structure as the rest of GlobalGateway allowing users to receive both the Watchlist and KYB results in a single API Call
  • GlobalGateway checks the request information against a multitude of global watchlist and adverse media 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

Clients using both Watchlist and Verification Services

  • Trulioo clients who enable the GlobalGateway Watchlist with their verification services receive two distinct sets of data per identity-check
  • The first verifies the identity of a business and the second checks against a multitude of government sanction lists and adverse media worldwide
