Overview

LSEG World-Check is one of the longest-established risk intelligence databases, aggregating sanctions, PEP, watchlist, and adverse media data used by thousands of institutions for screening and ongoing monitoring. Its value is the constantly updated data file: when a screened customer gets a new hit, you know quickly. Through Zenoo it runs as a pre-built connector, so screening happens inside your onboarding and monitoring flows.

Key strengths

Continuously updated risk data. The database updates constantly, and platforms built on it can notify you in real time when an existing customer gets a new hit. Practitioners highlight this as the core value: it covers you when good customers turn bad.

Breadth of coverage. Sanctions, PEPs, watchlists, and adverse media aggregated into structured risk profiles, drawing on hundreds of watchlists worldwide.

Institutional trust. Widely used by banks and large institutions, with strong marks for core screening capability in independent comparisons.

Best for

Institutions that need authoritative sanctions and PEP data with real-time updates
Compliance programmes running ongoing monitoring, not just point-in-time checks
Teams that prioritise data coverage and provenance

What you can build

Sanctions, PEP, and adverse media screening at onboarding
Perpetual KYC: re-screening the back book as the data file updates

Considerations

Honest notes from community data, each with a way to cover the gap inside a Zenoo flow.

Enterprise-shaped commercials. There is no public pricing or self-serve trial; access is via enterprise agreements. Running World-Check through Zenoo keeps it under one contract alongside the rest of your stack.

Limited public developer resources. Public API documentation and developer community resources are thin, so direct integration usually leans on LSEG support. With the pre-built Zenoo connector you configure rather than integrate.

Match tuning at scale. Like any broad screening database, false positives need workflow and tuning. Zenoo routes hits into review queues and applies your risk rules, so analysts see actionable alerts rather than raw matches.

Pricing signals

No public pricing. Sources consistently describe enterprise agreements with pricing on request.

Frequently asked questions

How does World-Check work with Zenoo?

Through a pre-built connector. Configure it in no-code Studio, add fallback logic, and get one contract and a unified audit trail across every provider in the flow.

What data does World-Check cover?

Sanctions lists, politically exposed persons, watchlists, and adverse media, aggregated into structured risk profiles and updated continuously by LSEG's research teams.

Does World-Check support ongoing monitoring?

Yes. Because the data file updates continuously, existing customers can be re-screened as new hits appear. In a Zenoo flow those hits route straight into your review queues with a full audit trail.
