Watchlist screening software
Watchlist screening is the process of checking individuals, entities, or organizations against global databases to identify potential involvement in illicit activities such as money laundering, terrorism financing, or corruption.
With regulatory demands increasing and risk environments changing by the minute, manual screening is no longer enough. Owlin’s watchlist screening software automates the process, enabling you to screen and monitor counterparties in real time, across jurisdictions, languages, and data sources.
By leveraging AI-driven insights, Owlin empowers compliance teams to act proactively, ensuring complete visibility of emerging risks while minimizing operational burden.
Why are watchlists important?
In today’s regulatory landscape, organizations must comply with Anti-Money Laundering (AML), Know Your Customer (KYC), and third-party risk management (TPRM) requirements.
Global watchlist screening is not only a compliance necessity, it’s a foundation of trust and transparency. Failing to screen against official watchlists maintained by bodies like the U.S. Treasury’s OFAC, EU Council, or UN Security Council can lead to:
- Regulatory fines and sanctions for AML/KYC violations
- Financial loss through exposure to fraudulent or blacklisted entities
- Reputational harm from association with high-risk partners
Owlin’s solution helps you stay ahead of risk, automatically screening third parties and alerting you to potential compliance issues before they impact your business.
Watchlists you should know
Effective screening requires access to trusted, up-to-date sources. Owlin’s platform connects to a wide range of global databases, including:
- Sanctions and embargo lists: OFAC (U.S.), EU Consolidated, UN, and others
- Politically Exposed Persons (PEPs): global databases highlighting individuals with political influence
- Law enforcement alerts: such as Interpol Red Notices
- Financial supervisory warnings: from authorities like the FCA (UK), BaFin (Germany), and FINMA (Switzerland)
Owlin continuously updates these sources, ensuring your compliance checks remain accurate and complete.
Why automate watchlists screening?
For banks, financial institutions, and global enterprises, automating watchlist checks offers:
- Faster Compliance: stay aligned with AML/KYC obligations.
- Risk Mitigation: identify high-risk entities instantly.
- Efficiency: Reduce manual screening with AI-driven monitoring.
