Confirm your entity against the huge Orbis universe of entity data, including companies (private and listed), banks and financial institutions, sole proprietorships, insurance companies, non-bank financial institutions, marine vessels, and individuals. Orbis only has official entity names (with their unique identifier numbers) and searching is simple and fast. So, once you’ve matched your subject entity to the correct record in Orbis, you can be confident your ongoing analysis is based on the appropriate legal entity and its associated data. And this works for your self-serve batch uploads too.
See filtered, relevant news relating to your subject company, individuals and your portfolio, plus curated adverse media risk data from Grid. Recent innovations mean the adverse media tool is powered by machine learning resulting in more accurate identification of a genuine negative sentiment, reducing false positives and erroneous stories.
If your screening suggests you need to take a closer look at higher risk entities or individuals, you can use the workflow to send it straight to your own analysts or our enhanced due diligence (EDD) service.
