Trusted by over 150 companies in the US and by many of the world’s largest banks.
Compliance that keeps pace with your growth.
Ripjar screens your customers and third parties against OFAC and global sanctions lists, PEPs and watchlists in one continuously updated view of risk, so your analysts spend their time on genuine exposure rather than on false positives. Every decision made is explainable to regulators.
We can run a demo on a sample of your own customer data so you’ll see the reduction in false positives for yourself.
Trusted by over 150 companies in the US and by many of the world’s largest banks.
Every new customer adds more names, aliases and ownership structures to screen but most of the alerts they create are false positives. Your analysts clear them one at a time which means alerts that matter sit in line behind hundreds that don’t.
Regulators want to see that you can find, investigate and escalate real risk. Hiring more analysts will keep the queue moving but it doesn’t make your decisions any easier to defend.
Ripjar Screening brings sanctions, PEPs and watchlists into a single view for each customer so your team can work from one profile, one integration and one audit trail.
Ripjar resolves every customer into a single entity profile, remembering your prior decisions, so the same false positives don’t return to your queue each time you screen.
You can show your auditors and regulators why each alert was raised and how it was resolved.
You set thresholds by list, country and customer segment to match your company’s risk appetite.
Ripjar matches over one million name variants in 150+ languages and you choose which lists and sources apply to which customers.
Your customers are rescreened as lists change so a new designation reaches your team without waiting for the next review.

These results come from live deployments and a demo on your own data will show you what they look like for your business.
Problem: The bank needed to bring ongoing due diligence for its US investment banking and wealth management clients onto a single platform, built to screen millions of names consistently across both divisions, with every decision documented for regulators.
Result: Ripjar now screens the bank’s investment banking and wealth management clients continuously on one US platform, applying the same approach to millions of names across both divisions. Every decision carries a fully auditable trail, ready for regulators to review.
Problem: Each of its international locations screened clients in its own way, using older tools that weren’t connected to the bank’s client lifecycle management platform, which made screening across the group slow, inconsistent and prone to error.
Result: Ripjar now screens clients continuously for sanctions, watchlists, PEPs and adverse media across the group. Built into the client lifecycle management platform, it raises alerts automatically when new risk appears, so the team clears alerts faster and onboards new clients with less friction.
Problem: The company serves a high-value, international client base of private jet owners and businesses, and needed to screen every one of them for sanctions, PEPs and other risks, both at onboarding and throughout the relationship.
Result: Since 2023, Ripjar has brought sanctions, PEP and watchlist screening together with adverse media in a single view, so the company’s team can make faster, well-documented decisions about every customer and keep monitoring them as risk changes.
Screening Assistant runs on the same national security-grade engine that powers Ripjar Screening, so it switches on quickly inside the workflow your team already uses, with no separate system to integrate. Its proprietary, explainable AI puts each alert in context, clears the noise and escalates genuine risk and with every decision your analysts make, your screening gets smarter.
That means a shorter queue, faster decisions and a complete audit trail behind every alert Screening Assistant handles. Your analysts still make every decision, so a qualified person stays accountable for every outcome.

Ripjar runs alongside your existing systems through a REST API, as SaaS or on-premise, so there is no rip-and-replace and no disruption to your current program.
Adverse Media Screening is built into Ripjar Screening, ready to switch on whenever you need it and off when you don’t. It checks your higher-risk customers and counterparties against global news and media sources to identify signs of financial crime, fraud, corruption or other risk. The results sit in the same profile as the sanctions and PEP status, so your team doesn’t need to run a separate search. Because Ripjar processes approximately 5 million new articles every day across 150+ languages, your analysts quickly find the risk that matters.
