World-Check On Demand: Real-Time Risk Intelligence for Compliance Teams
Your firm needs credible FICA screening, but a full World-Check One local database is the wrong size for a boutique practice. Manual checks are slow, inconsistent, and hard to defend when the FIC asks for the trail.
We wire World-Check On Demand into your CRM so you screen in seconds, when you need to.
Sound Familiar?
These are the exact issues smaller FSPs, attorneys, estate agencies, and boutique wealth practices bring to us:
- New clients wait days while someone Googles names and checks the FIC TFS list by hand
- Screening results live in email threads and spreadsheets with no reliable audit trail
- A full World-Check One database licence feels oversized for 40–80 checks a month
- False positives eat the compliance officer's afternoon and delay onboarding
- FIC inspections expect documented CDD and TFS screening you cannot reconstruct from memory
The FIC is pressing DNFBPs harder on RCRs, CDD, and TFS screening, with legal practitioners and estate agents featuring heavily in recent sanctions. Administrative penalties for legal persons can reach R50 million. Credible real-time screening is no longer optional for smaller accountable institutions.
What Real-Time Screening Actually Looks Like
Client lands in the CRM → On Demand screen fires → result logged → you decide. No local World-Check database to babysit.
Client Record Created
A new matter, mandate, or lead converts in your CRM or practice system
On Demand Query
World-Check On Demand returns structured sanctions, PEP, and adverse media intelligence in real time
Result Synced Back
Clear, hit, or review status lands on the client record with a timestamped case note
Onboarding Continues
Clean results proceed. Genuine hits escalate. Your RMCP stays intact without spreadsheet archaeology
Everything You Need for Credible On Demand Screening
Instant On Demand Lookups
Trigger a World-Check On Demand query from your CRM or onboarding form. Real-time risk intelligence returns in seconds, with no local database to host or refresh.
CRM-Triggered Screening
When a lead becomes a client, or a matter opens, the screen runs automatically. Compliance sees the result where the work already happens.
Sanctions, PEP & Adverse Media
One call covers sanctions exposure, politically exposed persons, adverse media, and enforcement actions against LSEG's structured World-Check data.
Audit-Ready Case Logs
Every check writes who was screened, when, against which lists, and what the decision was. Inspectors get a trail, not a scavenger hunt.
Noise-Reduced Matching
Structured filters and secondary identifiers cut the false-positive pile that manual name searches dump on a small team.
Right-Sized for Low Volume
Built for ad-hoc and modest monthly volumes. You screen when you need to, without paying to maintain capacity you never use.
Systems We've Connected to World-Check On Demand
From 35 Minutes a Client to Under a Minute
How a 12-person boutique wealth practice replaced spreadsheet screening with World-Check On Demand and stayed FICA-credible without a full database licence.
The Manual Process
- Compliance officer searched Google, the FIC TFS list, and scattered PDF watchlists
- About 35 minutes per new client, including notes pasted into the CRM
- No consistent secondary-identifier matching, so common names created long rabbit holes
- Onboarding often slipped to the next day while screening caught up
- Audit requests meant reconstructing history from email and shared drives
The On Demand Process
- Client create in CRM triggers a World-Check On Demand lookup automatically
- Structured result returns in seconds with sanctions, PEP, and adverse media flags
- Clear matches proceed; hits queue for the compliance officer with full source detail
- Same-day onboarding for clean profiles, every time
- Timestamped screen log exports for FIC or FSCA questions in minutes

Frequently Asked Questions
How is World-Check On Demand different from World-Check One?
World-Check One is a full screening platform with case management, ongoing monitoring, and a heavier footprint. World-Check On Demand is LSEG's API-first, real-time risk intelligence layer: you query when you need a screen, get structured results back, and keep the decisioning in your own CRM or onboarding tools. For smaller teams that cannot justify a local World-Check database, On Demand is usually the better fit.
Is On Demand enough for FICA and FIC expectations?
Yes, when it is wired into a documented process. The FIC expects accountable institutions to screen against targeted financial sanctions, apply CDD, and keep records. On Demand supplies the risk intelligence; we build the workflow, logging, and escalation so your RMCP is actually followed in day-to-day work.
How long does an On Demand CRM integration take?
Most smaller-firm builds take 2–4 weeks from scoping to go-live. Simple one-way screens on client create can be live within a week. Deeper setups with dual controls, matter-level re-screens, and audit exports typically land closer to 4–6 weeks.
What volumes suit On Demand versus a full World-Check One licence?
If you screen dozens rather than thousands of names a month, and you do not need continuous overnight monitoring across a large book, On Demand usually wins on cost and complexity. Firms that already run high-volume batch or ongoing monitoring often need the fuller World-Check One stack instead.
Will this disrupt how our compliance officer works today?
No. We keep your existing tools as the front door. Screening happens behind the scenes when a record is created or approved. Your officer reviews exceptions and genuine hits, not every name from scratch. We run parallel testing before you retire the manual checklist.
How much does a World-Check On Demand integration cost?
Simple CRM-triggered screens start from around R15,000. Integrations with custom decisioning, dual approval, and audit exports typically range from R25,000 to R60,000. LSEG data licensing is separate and quoted on volume. Most boutique practices recover the build cost within a few months of staff time alone.
Stop Paying for Screening Capacity You Do Not Use
If your team is still hand-screening names, or sitting on a World-Check licence that is mostly idle, there is a cleaner path for smaller compliance teams.
