Turn Dow Jones watchlist data into actionable AML workflows
Dow Jones offers one of the most trusted global watchlist databases. Cascade integrates that data directly into your AML/KYC platform so you can screen faster, respond smarter, and prove compliance with every check.
What is the Dow Jones watchlist search?
Dow Jones curates high-quality watchlist data across:
- Global sanctions lists (UN, OFAC, EU, HMT, etc.)
- Politically Exposed Persons (PEPs)
- Regulatory watchlists
- Adverse media and negative news profiles
This database helps you identify individuals or entities tied to financial crime, terrorism, corruption, and regulatory risk.
Search alone isn’t enough
Dow Jones gives you access to world-class data, but that’s only part of the compliance journey. Without automation, your team still has to:
- Manually search and log results
- Cross-check clients at each review stage
- Build review workflows separately
- Maintain audit trails manually
Cascade solves this by embedding Dow Jones watchlist data directly into your onboarding, risk scoring, and monitoring process.
