In an era where financial crime risks evolve faster than ever, London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG) and Facctum are joining forces to bring compliance into real time. The two firms announced a collaboration to deliver World-Check On Demand—LSEG’s continuously updated risk intelligence solution—through Facctum’s FacctList™ platform, creating one of the most seamless compliance integrations yet for banks and fintechs.

Compliance for a Real-Time Economy

World-Check On Demand isn’t your typical static sanctions list. Designed for a “faster world,” it delivers continuously refreshed data across key compliance categories—sanctions, politically exposed persons (PEPs), adverse media, and enforcement actions.

By integrating through FacctList, institutions can now embed World-Check On Demand directly into existing onboarding, screening, and transaction monitoring systems via flexible APIs. The result? Instant, context-rich screening without the traditional delays or “file-drop” updates that slow down operations.

Priya Nallan, Head of Product Management at LSEG Risk Intelligence, summed it up:

“This new era of risk and compliance demands more than just data – it demands intelligence that is real-time, accurate, and trusted.”

What Makes This Different

FacctList acts as a real-time data distribution layer, handling ingestion, enrichment, and output of World-Check On Demand content into multiple industry-standard formats. It’s built for interoperability—supporting modern compliance frameworks and emerging standards like ISO 20022—so institutions can deploy the system quickly without rebuilding their infrastructure.

Key benefits include:

• Real-Time Screening: Instant data updates for real-time payments and onboarding.
• Improved Responsiveness: Faster alert resolution and fewer false positives.
• Advanced Risk Precision: Field-level provenance and transparent change tracking for regulatory assurance.
• Lower Costs: Automation-ready workflows and reduced manual intervention.

A Push Toward Continuous Compliance

As global regulators tighten expectations around sanctions and AML controls, the demand for continuous compliance—rather than periodic batch checks—is growing rapidly. LSEG’s World-Check data has long been the backbone of compliance screening across major banks, but Facctum’s platform-first architecture now gives it the agility to keep pace with instant payments and AI-driven transaction monitoring.

KK Gupta, CEO of Facctum, highlighted that agility:

“Our platform-first approach allows World-Check On Demand data to integrate seamlessly into institutional compliance systems, giving firms greater speed, precision, and efficiency across screening operations.”

Why It Matters

The partnership underscores a broader industry shift: risk intelligence is moving from static datasets to dynamic, API-driven ecosystems. With real-time payment rails and digital onboarding now the norm, compliance tools need to operate at the same velocity.

By embedding trusted data into automated pipelines, LSEG and Facctum are redefining what compliance looks like in 2025—a shift from reactive defense to proactive intelligence.

In other words, the era of nightly batch updates is over. The future of financial crime prevention is streaming, not scheduled.
