dilisense

Sanctions, PEP, criminal and adverse media screening service

Visit dilisense

dilisense consolidates global sanctions, politically exposed person (PEP), criminal watchlist and adverse media sources into a single database that is refreshed multiple times per day. It supports AML, KYC and CFT screening at onboarding, during KYC, on relevant transactions, at periodic rescreening and through ongoing monitoring. The company has supported clients with these obligations since 2016 and operates from Zurich and Luxembourg.

The platform offers several access paths: a free web search, a real-time REST API, an Excel batch screening tool, an on-premise database download, an Adverse Media API powered by NLP, and ongoing monitoring with alerts when sanctions or PEP status changes. The API includes SDKs, Postman collections, sandbox environments and structured responses for audit trails. Users can select specific lists, tune risk thresholds and use secondary identifiers such as date of birth or citizenship to refine fuzzy matching.

dilisense is aimed at compliance and engineering teams across fintech and PSPs, banks and insurance, asset management, crypto and gaming, legal and accounting, real estate, education and resellers. Web search is free without registration; paid plans unlock API access, higher volumes, advanced filtering, ongoing monitoring and adverse media screening. Every product offers a free trial, and pricing is usage-based, with discounts on higher screening volumes depending on industry, jurisdiction and maturity.
