WatchList PEP+Sanctions

WatchList is a PEP and Sanction list lookup for due diligence checks. The service sees if a person is listed on any PEP or Sanction lists.
PEP (Politically Exposed Person) means “in a prominent public position or a close relative of someone who is.”
Note that a PEP match can be a “PEPs by relation”, also known as RCA (Relatives or Close Associates).

API

POST to https://env.zignsec.com/v2/ekyc/watchlist/nordic (uses Nordic provider)
POST to https://env.zignsec.com/v2/ekyc/watchlist/global (uses global provider)
POST to https://env.zignsec.com/v2/ekyc/watchlist/globalpremium (uses global provider with C6/Adverse Media check included)

where env stands for environment and can be either API for production or test.

Deprecated:
POST to https://env.zignsec.com/v2/ekyc/watchlist/global2 (deprecated PEP/Sanction call to alternative global provider)
POST to https://env.zignsec.com/v2/ekyc/watchlist (obsolete endpoint with automatic provider selection from countryCode)

Query Parameters

Query->FirstName and Query->LastName are mandatory
Query->DateOfBirth is optional. Date can be given both as full date (YYYY-MM-DD) or as a year only.
Query->PersonalNumber is optional, use together with CountryCode. The NORDIC provider has all persons in PEP listed with PersonalNumber so this parameter is a recommendation for perfect PEP match rate in the Nordic countries.
Query->CountryCode for citizenship is optional but recommended.
(obsolete, replaced with selection on URL) DataSource (on root level) can be used to specify a data provider such as GLOBAL or NORDIC.

Note that all queries, even when using full name and dateOfBirth, can return false positives. Also note there is a degree of fuzzy match in the search, so different spelling of names should not hide hits.

Data Provider Selection:

The watchlist service has three data providers:

The Global provider [GLOBAL/DP08] is general, and gives a detailed explanation for every positive hit.
The Nordic provider [NORDIC/DP07] is only for the four Nordic countries Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Norway, and manually pruned and up to date.
(The older Global provider [DP04] still reachable by setting Datasource=DP04.)
