cleversoft announces transition to Dow Jones for enhanced PEP & Sanctions Screening

cleversoft today announced a significant enhancement to its PEP & Sanctions screening functionalities across all Financial Crime Prevention Suite solutions, with Dow Jones becoming the company’s new data provider. 

This strategic transition from cleversoft’s proprietary data sources represents a major advancement in the company’s commitment to deliver superior compliance screening tools to its clients across cleversoft’s Financial Crime Prevention Suite, including both legacy and current solutions. 

cleversoft clients benefit from industry-leading datasets, strengthened global coverage and regulatory robustness that supports AML/CTF, KYC and sanctions compliance requirements across all jurisdictions.  There will be no additional costs for the clients.

• Future-ready foundation: Supporting the continued evolution of cleversoft’s screening and risk intelligence capabilities. 

What this means for clients 

cleversoft has designed this transition to maximize benefits while ensuring continuity:
