Moody s Analytics Strengthens Compliance Platform for KYC Screening
Moody s Analytics today announced that it has integrated the Grid database of adverse news, sanctions, and politically exposed persons (PEPs) into Bureau van Dijk s Compliance Catalyst platform. Grid is the flagship database of Regulatory DataCorp, which Moody s acquired in 2020. Integrating Grid into the Compliance Catalyst solution-which is powered by our Orbis entity database of 400 million private and public companies-creates a single platform for customers to derive the right risk-relevant information to support their screening and due diligence programs.
Combining the entity and ownership data in Orbis with Grid s adverse news and curated risk data (currently around 13 million risk profiles and 3 billion articles) delivers more accurate name matching and reduces the number of false positives when screening individuals and entities.
