Integrate Watchlist

The Watchlist product helps you meet regulatory obligations by checking customers against sanctions, enforcement, politically exposed persons (PEPs), and adverse media lists.

How you integrate Watchlist into your application depends on when and where you want the checks to happen.

At a high level, integration comes down to three things:

• Portfolio migration: Bringing existing customers into RiskOS™ so they can be monitored without re-reviewing everything from scratch.
• Screening: Running a check when you first interact with a new customer (for example, during account signup) or when processing a payment.
• Monitoring: Keeping track of customers over time and alerting you when their watchlist status changes.

The Evaluation API is the foundation of Watchlist. You send an evaluation request with customer data, and RiskOS™ compares it against all relevant watchlists.

Key steps

Integrate screening

• Run a screening check at onboarding or payment.

• Make a single request to the /api/evaluation API to check an entity against the full set of Watchlist sources.

Integrate monitoring

• Set up ongoing monitoring for each active customer.

• Configure webhooks to receive monitoring alerts when a customer’s data is added, removed, or updated on a watchlist.

Portfolio import

• Batch upload your portfolio or run a screening check against each existing customer.
