Dow Jones Sanctions, PEP and Adverse Media Lists

Updated over a year ago

Salv partners with Dow Jones as a list provider. If you need screening lists from Dow Jones, in many cases, Salv can purchase these on your behalf. Salv will then invoice you for Dow Jones’ services.

Work with your Sales Executive to specify what you need exactly and Salv will handle the rest.

Here are a few things to know:

  • Salv’s reseller agreement allows us to clients with a small volume of checks per year (up to 100K unique names / 500K transactions per year). But larger clients must sign an agreement directly with Dow Jones. If you’re above Salv’s reseller limits, your Sales Executive will happily introduce you to our contacts in Dow Jones’ who can help you agree a direct agreement with Dow Jones.

  • The Dow Jones Agreement Term is annual, with a minimum Agreement Term of one year.

Dow Jones Pricing Logic


  • The price corresponds to the count of 'unique names that are screened within 12 months’. This includes both existing customers who are re-screened automatically on a daily basis as well as new customers during KYC.

  • If you have private individuals as customers, this will likely be the count of your customers (whom you wish to screen).

  • In the case of legal entity customers, besides screening the business name itself, you may also wish to screen the associated directors and Ultimate Beneficial Owners (UBOs).

  • In the case of transactions, it’s simply a count of transactions, regardless of how many names/fields are screened.

Standard Dow Jones lists


Please note that private individuals are screened against Sanctions, PEP and/or Adverse media lists, whereas legal entities are only screened against Sanctions lists.

Dow Jones Watchlist data

  • Politically Exposed Persons/Relatives and Close Associates: Global identities of senior ranking public officials, including government officials, politicians and their relatives or close associates.

  • Special Interest Persons: Negative media coverage on individuals involved in a legal process in relation to defined criminal categories covering:

    • Corruption

    • Financial crime (includes money laundering, fraud, tax evasion and theft)

    • Trafficking (i.e. narcotics, human, firearms and commodities)

    • Organized crime

    • Terrorism

    • Tax crime

  • Sanctions: Comprehensive sanctions-list coverage, with international and domestic-level coverage.

  • Sanctions Control & Ownership: Coverage of companies not sanctioned but nevertheless owned or controlled by OFAC, EU or UK sanctioned parties. This data are vital for meeting requirements to identify entities owned or controlled by sanctioned subjects.

  • Other Official Lists and Other Exclusion Lists: Global profiles of individuals on law enforcement lists, subjects of regulatory enforcement actions/warnings and persons barred from engaging in certain types of activity (i.e. import/export, travel, etc.)

Adverse Media Entities for Legal Entities


Some clients need access to additional Adverse Media lists to screen legal entities. These are not included in Dow Jones’ standard lists, but can be purchased for an additional charge.

Contact your Sales Executive if you need these specialised lists as well.

In addition, Salv also offers BMMG Adverse Media lists for Baltic-based clients (more info).
