Our Verdict

Budget-friendly sanctions and PEP API with broad coverage, solid fit when Refinitiv is overkill.

Pros

  • Coverage across 220+ countries for sanctions and PEP
  • REST API fits SaaS and fintech onboarding flows
  • Ongoing monitoring included, not a separate upsell
  • Adverse media screening bundled with core lists

Cons

  • False positive rates can be high on common names
  • Data provenance for adverse media less documented
  • Pricing tiers not transparent without sales contact
Best for: SaaS platforms and mid-market fintechs needing global AML screening at a predictable cost Not for: Tier-1 banks requiring audited, named-source watchlist feeds with formal SLAs
