Chicago, IL, November 17, 2022 - KYC2020, a leader in Global Watchlist, PEP, and Negative News Screening for AML Compliance, today announced a new add-on service for DecisionIQ, its SaaS advanced screening platform. The service, SanctionWatch™, will make it easy for regulated entities to Get compliant and then STAY compliant with daily persistent and automatic monitoring of OFAC and other global sanction lists.

With the rise of challenger banks, buy now pay later services, cryptocurrencies, international remittance services and digital payment tools, organizations are facing increased regulatory pressure around the world to continuously monitor their customers against the ever-changing global sanction lists.

SanctionWatch™ enables KYC2020's customers to create whitelists that are encrypted for data privacy and are continuously monitored against daily OFAC and sanction list changes. The customer is alerted via API Notifier, Email, or Web UI if a sanction is imposed on any member of the whitelist.
