Sanctions and PEP Screening for Guernsey Trust Companies and Corporate Service Providers

Watchtower screens every person and entity you act for against the United Nations and United Kingdom lists, to which the Handbook of the Guernsey Financial Services Commission refers firms. Plans start at $195 a month.

The Lists for Guernsey


The Handbook on Countering Financial Crime of the Guernsey Financial Services Commission refers firms to the United Nations and United Kingdom lists. The Handbook names the European Union and United States lists as further source material.

Watchtower screens against each of those four lists and against the other government lists it carries. Watchtower downloads each list from the government body that publishes it, and your dashboard shows the date each was last updated.

Politically Exposed Persons


Watchtower screens each person you act for against a roster of over 235,000 current and former holders of public office in 121 countries and territories. The roster also holds the family members of an office holder whom the public record names. PEP screening is included in every plan.

Ongoing Monitoring


Watchtower screens each party on the day you add it and then every day, every week or every month. You receive one report for each run that covers every party screened in it.

Certificates for Your Regulator


You receive a certificate for each screening of each party that states the date and time, the lists and the result. Each certificate is a PDF file that is locked against editing and digitally signed, which allows your regulator or auditor to confirm that it is unchanged since Watchtower issued it.
