Everything you need to know about Worldcheck

Last updated: May 2, 2026

World-Check is a risk intelligence database published by LSEG Risk Intelligence (London Stock Exchange Group, formerly Refinitiv). It is one of the most widely recognised and trusted AML screening databases in the financial services industry, used by banks, financial institutions, and regulated businesses in approximately 190 countries to screen individuals and entities for sanctions exposure, PEP status, adverse media, and other financial crime risk signals.

Important: World-Check works differently on Dotfile than other AML providers. Unlike ComplyAdvantage, World-Check is not resold or managed by Dotfile. Clients who want to use World-Check must hold their own direct contract with LSEG. There is currently no World-Check interface integrated within the Dotfile platform.
