Sanctions and PEP Screening for Hong Kong Trust Companies and Corporate Service Providers
Watchtower screens every person and entity you act for against the United Nations Security Council list, from which Hong Kong's gazetted lists derive. Plans start at $195 a month.
The Lists for Hong Kong
Hong Kong gives effect to United Nations designations and publishes the lists in the Gazette. The Companies Registry's guideline for trust or company service providers says a licensee which operates internationally must be aware of the sanctions of other jurisdictions.
Watchtower screens against the United Nations Security Council list, from which Hong Kong's gazetted lists derive. Watchtower also screens against the OFAC, European Union and United Kingdom lists and the other government lists it carries.
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, Hong Kong among them. 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.
Pricing
Starter covers up to 500 parties for $195 a month. Firm covers up to 2,000 parties for $395 a month. Institution covers up to 10,000 parties for $795 a month. Every plan includes sanctions screening, PEP screening, certificates and reports.
