Screen
the world.
Screen any person or company against PEP and sanctions lists, adverse media, local PEP law and state ownership, wherever in the world they are based. You get one clear verdict back in seconds.
Not every client needs the same check.
International PEP, sanctions and adverse media
Searches the international sanctions lists and PEP registers (UN, EU, OFAC, UK and more) for a match on the subject, and scans online news and other public sources for negative coverage such as fraud, corruption or money laundering. Both services are billed together as a single credit.
Local PEP AI
Looks up the PEP legislation of the subject's own country and judges political exposure against both that local definition and the international FATF standard. Runs one search pass in English and one in the country's own language, and reports any difference between the two.
State-owned entity AI
Looks up how the country of registration classifies state ownership and judges the company against that classification and the OECD guidelines for state-owned enterprises. Searches national ownership registers and government gazettes in the local language as well as in English.
No match on any list or media source. Onboard the client right away, with a timestamped audit trail to show for it.

What we screen against.
Plus 61 debarment and 54 regulatory & securities lists, live from the Stracket data catalog.
Searched live, in every language of the subject.
Adverse media is not a static list. Every subject is searched on the open web with targeted queries on arrests, fraud and money laundering, repeated in each language they are covered in. An AI reads every article and scores its relevance, so analysts only review the results that matter.

Questions we hear a lot.
Every check runs against 450+ official sources from the Stracket data catalog: sanctions lists such as OFAC, the EU and the UN, national PEP registers, and criminal and wanted lists. On top of that we search global adverse media, and AI checks test against local PEP law and state ownership. Sources are refreshed continuously.
Anyone entrusted with a prominent public function, such as heads of state, ministers, members of parliament, senior judges and officials, along with their close family and associates. Regulators expect you to identify them before onboarding.
The international check matches names against PEP registers and sanctions lists. The local PEP AI check goes further: it looks up what the subject's own country treats as politically exposed and tests against that definition as well as the FATF standard. It searches twice, once in English and once in the local language, and reports the sources it used, a confidence score and any difference between the two passes.
Yes. The state-owned entity AI check works out whether a company is state-owned or state-sponsored, using the classification of its country of registration and the OECD guidelines. It searches national ownership registers and government gazettes in the local language as well as in English, and reports its sources and a confidence score.
Names are matched fuzzily, including aliases, transliterations and dates of birth, so a spelling variant doesn't slip through. A possible match is never dropped silently: it comes back as Needs review with the evidence attached.
With targeted web searches on terms like arrest, fraud, corruption and money laundering, run in every relevant language of the subject. An AI reads each result and scores its relevance before an analyst sees it.
Every service costs one credit per subject. PEP, sanctions and adverse media count as one service together, so they cost a single credit. The local PEP AI check and the state-owned entity AI check cost one credit each when you switch them on. Credits are prepaid and priced in volume tiers, so the rate drops as you buy more. There are no subscriptions or seats.
Credits are valid for one year after purchase. Within that year you can use them whenever you like. There is no monthly minimum or expiry per month.
Yes. Put subjects on a monitor and Stracket re-screens them continuously. You get an alert as soon as a status changes, and everything is recorded in the audit trail.
