Third-party integration spotlight #2: Strengthening risk screening with LSEG World-Check intelligence in KYC Manager
In this series, we highlight the external partners integrated into Finologee’s KYC Manager and how they enhance customer due-diligence processes. While the first edition focused on identity verification with IDnow, the second edition turns to risk screening: this time, the spotlight is on LSEG Risk Intelligence (LSEG Group) and its World-Check data.
Leveraging LSEG World-Check data inside KYC Manager
LSEG Risk Intelligence, part of the London Stock Exchange Group, is one of the external risk-intelligence providers connected to KYC Manager. Through this integration, regulated entities can retrieve sanctions, PEP, negative news and other special-interest information from World-Check automatically as part of their onboarding and review workflows.
Jonathan Prince, co-founder and CSO at Finologee: “Integrating LSEG World-Check data into KYC Manager gives our clients an automated and reliable way to incorporate high-quality screening into their daily compliance operations. It reduces manual effort, supports consistent risk assessment and ensures that decisions are backed by trusted intelligence.”
Piet Craenen, Business Development at LSEG Risk Intelligence: “Through our collaboration with Finologee, institutions using KYC Manager can benefit from World-Check’s broad and highly curated, structured, and context-rich intelligence. Embedding the continuously updated data directly into their workflows helps them manage regulatory obligations, while streamlining their processes.”
Screening through a seamless API integration
KYC Manager connects to LSEG Risk Intelligence via API to screen both newly created and existing parties. Institutions choose which World-Check data segments – such as sanctions, PEP, negative media or special-interest lists – to activate according to their internal compliance framework. Screening results flow directly back into the platform and immediately enrich the party’s risk profile.
Mapping results to risk parameters
Each LSEG Risk Intelligence data segment can be mapped to one or multiple risk parameters in KYC Manager. This allows institutions to translate screening hits into their own risk-scoring methodology and maintain clear, auditable logic behind every classification.
Continuous oversight through automated re-screenings
KYC Manager also supports recurring re-screenings, enabling institutions to detect changes in a party’s status – such as a new sanction listing or emerging adverse news – at the frequency they define. This ensures ongoing vigilance while keeping operations efficient.
A more controlled and efficient compliance process
By integrating LSEG World-Check, KYC Manager embeds trusted screening intelligence directly into the customer lifecycle. This strengthens both operational efficiency and overall compliance governance.
