LSEG Launches World-Check Verify: Cloud-Native Screening API for Instant Payments Compliance
LSEG Risk Intelligence has launched World-Check Verify, a cloud-native screening API powered by Amazon Web Services (AWS), designed to address growing compliance demands in the digital economy. The solution aims to support financial institutions in meeting the challenges posed by instant payments, embedded finance, and regulations like the EU Instant Payments regulation.
World-Check Verify integrates directly into payment and onboarding workflows, offering instant and secure checks without slowing down processing or affecting customer experience. It leverages AWS's scalability to meet demand spikes and reduces infrastructure overhead. The solution transforms manual workloads into automated, efficient workflows using advanced analytics.
David Wilson, Group Head of LSEG Risk Intelligence, stated that World-Check Verify makes compliance 'invisible', ensuring screening happens in the background at the precise moment it's needed. Alison Kay, VP and Managing Director of AWS UKI, confirmed that the cloud-native solution scales instantly to meet demand and reduces infrastructure overhead. The launch follows LSEG's 2025 Global Risk Intelligence Survey, which highlighted manual review workloads, excessive false positives, and the need for real-time data as key barriers to compliance.
World-Check Verify, launched by LSEG Risk Intelligence and powered by AWS, offers a scalable, secure, and real-time screening solution for financial institutions operating in the digital economy.
