Refinitiv Combines EPIC Platform and World-Check into A Single Solution

Refinitiv, a leading financial markets data and infrastructure provider, announced that it has combined GIACT's EPIC platform with World-Check to help protect the consumer lifecycle.

GIACT is a Refinitiv company and the leader in helping companies positively identify and authenticate customers. World-Check is a database of Politically Exposed Persons (PEPs) and heightened risk individuals and organizations, used around the world to help to identify and manage financial, regulatory and reputational risk.

The combination brings together the comprehensive risk intelligence from World-Check with the unprecedented capability of GIACT to deliver a multi-dimensional view of consumer and business identity, payments, and compliance risk, across the customer lifecycle.

The integration is set to address all manner of fraud and risk-related threats and inefficiencies by combining industry-leading solutions into a single API that can be deployed across an organization.

“Refinitiv responded to the industry’s calls by combining the power of the EPIC Platform and World-Check into a single comprehensive solution that eliminates gaps in the fraud prevention process; helps protect financial institutions, businesses, government entities and others against the latest fraud threats; and improves customer experience through real-time, fact-based decisioning,” said James Mirfin, Global Head of Digital Identity and Fraud Solutions at Refinitiv.

Last month, Refinitiv has enhanced its post-trade regulatory reporting capabilities by cooperating with Xinthesys LLC​, a technology solutions provider to financial institutions, to enable sell-side traders to potentially save costs with a single and fully integrated platform for trade reporting.
