.

a.  Sanction lists
b.  Wanted/Fugitive lists
c.  SFC lists

Who we serve

1. Financial services

Banks and brokers use this tool to screen new clients during onboarding.

By flagging individuals listed on watchlists, financial institutions can protect their reputations and avoid fines tied to money laundering cases.

2. Professionals

For CPAs, lawyers and other real estate agents handling high-value transactions, the stakes are high.

Seller can use Ascan online to perform preliminary check against the customer's background and whether the person is a PEP or under sanctioned.

3. High-valued vendor

Vendors handling high-valued precious metals, jelwery, watches, and virtual currency dealers can use this tool to protect themselves by ensuring that individuals don’t appear on watchlists. That can prevent them from entering agreements with high-risk tenants or buyer or seller of properties.
