Emerald or Sapphire: Which package is right for you?

Both packages screen for PEPs, sanctions and adverse media. The difference is the depth of the underlying data.

Emerald
Essential screening

Built for startups, sole traders and businesses that need essential, reliable screening. It draws on the NameScan proprietary global database, a consolidated PEP and sanctions list built from verified government sources and updated every 24 hours, covering PEP, sanctions and adverse media screening in a single search.

Best for first time compliance obligations, low to moderate onboarding volume, small teams starting out.

Sapphire
Deeper due diligence

Designed for businesses that need deeper due diligence and richer data coverage. It uses the Acuris Risk Intelligence database, with more than 1.4 million PEP profiles, 1.2 million sanctions profiles and over 400,000 adverse media links, updated daily, alongside the same PEP, sanctions and adverse media screening as Emerald.

Best for higher risk onboarding, cross border customers, regulated financial institutions.
