Watchlists, Politically Exposed Persons, Adverse Media Screening

introduction this api can be used for 3 different screenings based on the input provided by client as mentioned below a) global watchlists & sanction sceening signzy's global watchlists & sanction offers data from more than 6000 global source daily to alert you about potential sanction risks when screening candidates, vendors, or other business partners global watchlists are compiled by governments and international organizations to identify entities linked to crime, corruption, terrorism, laundering, and various other forms of unethical behavior entities include individuals, corporations, or even countries even if they aren’t actively committing a crime, listed entities may be connected to suspicious activity engaging in risky business relationships with suspicious parties can result in severe regulatory penalties, financial loss, and reputational damage b) politically exposed persons (pep) screening signzy's politically exposed persons screening uses data from government databases, a lot of other datasources & analyze media sources daily to uncover pep associations not listed by governments or other common sources, looking at family members and close associates as well as the individual in question politically exposed persons are individuals connected to high level roles in a government, either directly, through family members, or through close personal and business relationships peps are considered higher risk customers because their proximity to power offers more opportunities to engage in unethical or unlawful behavior, such as nepotism, money laundering, and embezzlement international aml/kyc regulations for financial services, banking, and other sectors often require ongoing monitoring of peps while pep status is not an automatic dealbreaker, it may be a sign you need to implement extra aml/cft protocols and conduct specialized due diligence signzy offers an easier, more affordable solution for reducing reputational and financial risk while supporting smarter compliance decisions c) adverse/negative media screening signzy's adverse media screening uses data from public sources by crawling the web for relevant information on a daily basis, leveraging sentiment analysis and negative keywords to reduce false positives adverse media detection serves as an important early predictor for potential watchlist or sanctions listings, as media outlets can often identify risk with more agility than government or international watchdogs red flag behavior linked to money laundering, financial fraud, drug trafficking, human trafficking, risky finances, terrorism — and more — can be better identified and predicted with adverse media screening adverse media source examples bbc, the new york times, al jazeera, washington post, gulf news, cnn, the telegraph, fox news, the world bank, wallstreet journal, mumbai mirror, the asian age, the seattle times, caribbean new now, china daily, the indian express, bangkok post, sydney morning herald, chicago tribune, newsroom panama, winnipeg sun, and thousands more api details you must first login before sending the request the authorization header in

bhd's (1mdb) joint venture partner, petrosaudi international ltd (psi), the high courtm heard today former 1mdb chief executive officer datuk shahrol azral ibrahim halmi said a second valuation could have proved that there was \\"more downside than upside\\" to the deal asked by najib’s lead counsel tan sri muhammad shafee abdullah as to why details about psi’s assets were concealed from the board, shahrol replied “it just did not come up” the ninth prosecution witness said at the time, edward morse was the only independent valuer for psi’s assets and najib, as the chairman of 1mdb board of advisers, had stated there was no need for a second valuation shafee so what does that mean? there was no second valuation?shahrol it means that a second valuation was not preferred my take from this is that he (najib) did not prefer this shafee did he explicitly say he did not want you to make a second valuation?shahrol no, he did not say that the court then heard that fugitive businessman low taek jho or jho low was described as \\"a fox taking care of chicken\\" shafee said this when the witness testified that he went back and forth between najib, low and the 1mdb board of directors shahrol said after a meeting with najib on oct 16, 2009, he went to see low to get the minutes of meeting and went back to the 1mdb board of directors shafee was i wrong to say that jho low was (like) a fox taking care of chicken?shahrol he was in a way facilitating the misappropriation from 1mdb i think it may be worth to know that in 2016, good star ltd (a company owned by low) sent some money to red granite pictures (a company owned by najib’s stepson, riza aziz) shafee why did you go to red granite? we will get to that later let’s concentrate on what you did do not get into anybody else’s
