On-going Screening

For snapshot Politically Exposed Person (PEP), Sanction and Adverse Media checks and on-going (daily) monitoring. If an individual is added to one of our global watchlists a webhook and email will be generated with details of the alert, along with the details displayed in your dashboard. It is strongly recommended to implement the Webhooks in order to trigger other KYC and AML procedures. Please see On-Going PEP, Sanction, Adverse Media Screening blog for more product details.

To request an On-Going Screen, make a HTTPS POST request to https://api.lemverify.io/api/v1/{account_id}/ongoing, where {account_id} is your LEM Verify account ID found in the Account Setup section of the dashboard.

The body must contain the following parameters:

dob	String	Mandatory	A String containing the dob of the individual you wish to create the on-going screen for, in the format dd/mm/yyyy
