Dear Juri, Thanks for your note... I advise you to check SAMA Website “the banks regulator” in KSA and read their guidance in regards to how AML and PEPs are supposed to be handled.

Its easy to find PEP all over the world, but the matches are quite clumpsy. A lot of manual error filtering. Using TR.

Dear Thomas, thanks for the connection and question. We use Refinitiv, but not working well. Will connect you to our CIO responsible for that.
Negative
Thanks for connection, none of those mentioned are too much good in Saude, speak to local Deloitte they have some system. Or use worldcheck.
Negative
Using Worldcheck. Hard to identify if the person is the one we were looking for or not. For Saudi, you will need someone with Arabic translation.
Negative
We use worldcheck and have no need for nothing more.
Positive
Why don’t use the worldcheck?
Neutral
Dear Petr, our team is using TR, now called Refinitiv. Has all the data need. What is your exact issue with them?
Positive
We use world check but there seems to be no real-time data update. Also difficult to track the number of users logged on and which organization they belong to. using it in three of our sub organizations.
Neutral
Been using Worldcheck but lately we switched to Comply, WC got too many false alarms.
Negative
Excellent for checking the sanction lists, but really hard user interface. Our analysts had to be online with support several times a week. Really expensive.

Best to use is Comply Advantage, our company is a client for almost 2 years and no issues so far. But sometimes limiting functionality.
