LSEG Risk Intelligence, a leader in compliance, risk management and fraud prevention solutions, has announced the launch of World-Check On Demand. The new platform will transform the way data is created and delivered, meeting customer demand for timely, trusted, and actionable intelligence to help manage their risk; reduce over screening; and process payments faster.  

Through an API, World-Check On Demand delivers precise, continuously updated real-time risk intelligence – ensuring organisations have instant access to accurate and relevant data across sanctions, PEPs, adverse media, and enforcement actions.  

David Wilson, Group Head of LSEG Risk Intelligence, said: “Navigating a new era of risk and compliance requires more than just data — it demands intelligence that’s real-time, accurate, and most importantly, trusted. With World-Check On Demand we are delivering just that — enabling our clients to act faster, smarter and with confidence, while reducing operational cost.” 

The launch comes as LSEG publishes the findings from a new global study “Operating at the Speed of Crime: The Case for Real-Time Risk Intelligence”: 

• 98% of financial institutions see real-time data as “important” to their compliance workflows 

• 80% report frequent onboarding or payment delays due to outdated or slow screening 

• 75% cite excessive false positives as a persistent challenge 

World-Check’s trusted AI-enabled data helps compliance teams to detect risk early, improve response times, reduce false positives, and streamline operations — all while maintaining data transparency and provenance. 

World-Check On Demand provides the data layer that powers faster, more accurate decision-making, supporting frictionless onboarding and helping reduce the compliance bottlenecks mentioned on the survey. Delivered via flexible APIs, it can be seamlessly integrated into existing technology stacks — from onboarding platforms to real-time transaction monitoring systems — giving institutions the confidence to act fast and with confidence.
