It offers real-time compliance checks, including for trade-based money laundering, fraud and sanctions, with comprehensive audit trails, reporting and analytics.

Guy Sear, VP Risk and Compliance, IHS Markit – “Advisories, guidelines, and regulation across trade are on the rise, requiring practitioners to understand all aspects of a transaction and to identify its risk. The integration of IHS Markit’s maritime and trade datasets into TradeSun’s platform will provide customers with big data and artificial intelligence to reduce time-consuming false positives, optimize and digitize business operations, and manage risk in a more timely and efficient manner.”

Our partnership with IHS Markit elevates compliance digitalization to a new paradigm by combining the best technology with the best data, significantly intercepting the potential for economic crime.”
