LSEG Risk Intelligence has launched World-Check Verify, a cloud-native screening solution built with Amazon Web Services (AWS).
The new platform is designed to embed compliance directly into payment and onboarding workflows, offering real-time checks without disrupting the speed or convenience of transactions.
The tool is aimed at supporting the rapidly evolving payments landscape, where instant transfers, embedded finance and regulatory requirements such as the EU Instant Payments regulation are reshaping industry standards. By providing instant, seamless screening, LSEG is positioning World-Check Verify as a next-generation solution for financial institutions managing compliance at scale.
Its lightweight, stateless design allows firms to carry out large-scale checks with minimal disruption. This focus on efficiency and security is particularly relevant for neobanks, digital platforms and enterprises operating 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.”
The solution leverages LSEG’s trusted World-Check data to deliver real-time screening with several benefits. These include low-latency embedded checks, scalable cloud-native architecture powered by AWS, advanced configuration to align with firm policies, and resilient performance suitable for enterprise-grade and cross-border operations.
AWS has played a key role in enabling the platform’s scalability and performance. 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 product launch comes shortly after the release of LSEG’s 2025 Global Risk Intelligence Survey, which highlighted the pressures financial institutions face in managing compliance. The study revealed that 77% of firms identify manual workload as a significant barrier, 75% suffer from excessive false positives in legacy systems, and 98% view real-time data as essential for compliance.
