LSEG Risk Intelligence has introduced World-Check Verify, a new compliance screening solution developed with Amazon Web Services (AWS).
The platform is designed to provide instant, embedded checks for payments and customer onboarding, ensuring that compliance does not slow down digital transactions.
The launch comes as the global payments landscape continues to accelerate, with regulatory measures such as the EU Instant Payments regulation pushing institutions to meet higher standards of speed and reliability. World-Check Verify is positioned as a cloud-native, scalable tool that enables firms to deliver trusted, low-latency screening while safeguarding data privacy.
Built as a lightweight, stateless API, the solution allows screening to occur seamlessly within existing payment and onboarding workflows. It offers resilience, flexibility and efficiency, catering to the needs of neobanks, digital platforms, and global enterprises handling large volumes of transactions across borders.
LSEG group head of risk intelligence David Wilson said, “World-Check Verify makes compliance invisible— with timely, trusted data ensuring screening happens in the background, at the precise moment it’s needed, so payments and onboarding remain instant and seamless. It sets a new standard for embedded compliance in a world where speed, trust, and accuracy must coexist.”
AWS UKI vice president and managing director Alison Kay said, “The World Check Verify solution is created from the combination of AWS’s secure, scalable cloud infrastructure and LSEG’s World-Check intelligence.
“This cloud-native solution scales instantly to meet demand spikes, reduces infrastructure overhead, and leverages advanced analytics to transform the manual workload burden that 77% of institutions struggle with into an automated, efficient workflow. It exemplifies how AWS’s cloud capabilities can help solve complex industry challenges so that financial institutions can innovate and scale their risk management operations with confidence, while maintaining the highest security standards.”
The announcement also follows findings from LSEG’s 2025 Global Risk Intelligence Survey. The study reported that 77% of institutions struggle with manual compliance checks, 75% face high levels of false positives, and 98% believe that access to real-time data is crucial for risk management.
