Definition
What Is Global Watchlist Screening?
Global watchlist screening checks a person or company against government sanctions lists, law enforcement notices, lists of politically exposed persons (PEPs) and adverse news, to find out whether they are barred from doing business or carry a financial crime or reputational risk.
A name check alone throws up many false hits, because common names appear on these lists. The value is in the review: confirming or clearing each possible match with date of birth, nationality and other details.

Possible matches
What Happens When a Name Matches a Watchlist?
Names like Mohammad, Rahman or Hossain are common, so a raw search often returns hits that have nothing to do with your candidate. We compare each possible match on date of birth, nationality, ID numbers and other details before anything goes in the report.
A cleared match is shown as cleared, with the reason. A confirmed match is reported with its source, list and date. The decision is yours. If you are a reporting organisation under Bangladesh’s money laundering law, involve your compliance officer.

FAQs
Global Watchlist Screening: FAQs
What is global watchlist screening?
Global watchlist screening checks a person or company against sanctions lists, law enforcement notices, politically exposed persons and adverse media, to find out whether they are barred from doing business or carry a financial crime or reputational risk.
How much does global watchlist screening cost in Bangladesh?
BPO Bangladesh charges a flat USD $49 per name, for a person or a company. The price covers the sanctions lists, PEP screening, adverse media in English and Bangla, an analyst’s review of every possible match and a written report.
Which watchlists do you check?
The UN Security Council Consolidated List, the US OFAC SDN List, the EU Consolidated Financial Sanctions List, the UK Sanctions List, Bangladesh’s list of persons and entities proscribed under the Anti-Terrorism Act 2009, INTERPOL public Red Notices, the World Bank list of debarred firms and individuals, PEP data and adverse media.
What is a politically exposed person (PEP)?
A PEP is someone who holds or held a prominent public role, such as a minister, senior official, judge or military leader, along with their close family and associates. Being a PEP is not wrongdoing, but it calls for more care because of the higher risk of bribery and corruption.
What is adverse media screening?
Adverse media screening searches news sources for reports linking a person or company to fraud, corruption, money laundering, terrorism or other serious wrongdoing. We search both English and Bangla sources.
What happens if a name matches a watchlist?
We compare the possible match on date of birth, nationality, ID numbers and other details. A false match is cleared with the reason. A confirmed match is reported with its source, list and date, and the decision stays with you.
How long does watchlist screening take?
Most names are screened and reported within one to two working days. Names with several possible matches can take longer, and we tell you if that happens.
Is watchlist screening the same as a criminal record check?
No. Watchlist screening checks sanctions, law enforcement notices, PEP data and news. It does not search police or court records. For that, use our criminal and court record check.
Can you screen companies, directors and suppliers?
Yes. Each person or company is one name at USD $49. A supplier can be screened together with its directors and owners.
