Compliance-grade
financial vetting.

Regulators including the EBA and national financial authorities require firms to conduct fit-and-proper assessments covering criminal history, sanctions screening, PEP status, credit history, and employment verification for anyone in a senior management, risk, compliance, or client-facing role. The exact scope varies by jurisdiction and role seniority.

Scaut screens individuals against global sanctions lists (OFAC, EU, UN, HMT), PEP registers, and adverse media sources in real time. For customer onboarding, these checks can be embedded into digital workflows with full consent capture and audit trails, supporting CDD and EDD requirements under AMLD5 and AMLD6.

Yes. For roles with fiduciary responsibility, such as traders, fund managers and treasury staff, Scaut can include credit history and financial background checks as part of the screening package, subject to local data availability and the subject’s consent.

Scaut cross-references all subjects against global PEP registers automatically. Where a PEP match is flagged, the result is escalated for enhanced due diligence review. The system distinguishes between direct PEPs and close associates to help you apply proportionate controls.
