Enhanced due diligence data

Standard checks tell you who a customer is. They don’t tell you what they’ve been involved in, who they’re connected to, or what broke in the local press last week.

For your highest-risk customers, counterparties, and suppliers, you need to look deeper and get the news that surfaces risk before it reaches you.

Opoint delivers the news data that powers enhanced due diligence: 250,000 sources across 135 languages, structured and deduplicated, reaching your systems in under 7 minutes from publication.

Your highest-risk relationships are where coverage matters most

Enhanced due diligence applies to customers, counterparties, and suppliers that pose the greatest risk.

That’s exactly where a coverage gap costs you the most. The reporting that matters on a high-risk entity often breaks first in a local language, in a regional source your screening doesn’t reach. An examiner later asks why you missed it.

Adverse media screening based on English-only sources would have left it invisible until the next review.

Go beyond the identity check

Enhanced due diligence means deeper research on the relationships that carry real risk: source-of-funds signals, beneficial-ownership connections, and adverse media across every market a customer touches.

Opoint surfaces the news that feeds the deeper view in 135 languages, so your investigators can work from a complete picture.

Coverage across 135 languages and 230 jurisdictions

Financial crime rarely breaks in English first.

Opoint monitors 250,000 sources across 135 languages and 230 jurisdictions, including the non-English regional press and niche trade publications that standard feeds skip. On your highest-risk entities, that’s the coverage that decides what you catch.

Structured for your EDD and case workflows

Every article arrives structured: entity tags, LEI and FIGI identifiers, IPTC classification, and deduplicated before it reaches your queue.

Your investigators get a clean, connected signal. Your case file gets an audit-ready record of what you knew and when.

To see what that means in practice, consider a real example.

In November 2024, the concrete canopy at Novi Sad’s main railway station in Serbia collapsed, killing 15 people. The station had been renovated under a Belt and Road contract linked to the Chinese company CRIC-CCCC. The collapse triggered a government resignation and ongoing corruption investigations. The first report ran in Serbian, on in4s.net at 12:34. The first English-language wire coverage followed at 13:57, 83 minutes later.

For a compliance team running enhanced due diligence on a politically connected contractor, those 83 minutes were a window where a counterparty’s exposure to a fatal collapse and a corruption investigation was public knowledge in Serbian and invisible in English. Due diligence based on English-only sources would have caught it later, if at all.

Novi Sad is one of six events in our guide Where Stories Break First, each with verified timestamps showing how long the news stayed invisible in English.

Enhanced due diligence doesn't stop at the customer

The risk in your business often sits one step out, in a counterparty, a supplier, or a partner whose problems become yours. A sanctions action against a supplier, a corruption case involving a counterparty, a governance failure at a partner: each one carries financial, regulatory, and reputational exposure, and each one usually surfaces first in a regional or local-language source.

Opoint turns one-off third-party checks into continuous monitoring. Define your counterparties and suppliers, and feed surfaces adverse developments about them as they break, across 135 languages, so periodic review becomes real-time awareness.

This is also where supply-chain due diligence regulation is heading. The EU’s Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive and Germany’s Supply Chain Act are reshaping what companies must monitor across their value chains. The detail is still settling through 2026, but the direction is clear: third-party monitoring is becoming an obligation, not just good practice.

How Quantifind extends due diligence to counterparties and suppliers

Quantifind‘s Graphyte platform helps banks, fintechs, and government agencies understand the entities they deal with: not just customers, but counterparties, vendors, and the people behind them.

The hard part is reach, because the adverse news on a third party often sits in a source the platform wasn’t watching. With Opoint supplying one of the largest single streams of global news and adverse media data to Graphyte, their teams apply enhanced due diligence across languages and regions, so a counterparty’s risk surfaces at first mention rather than months later.

The integration of Opoint’s comprehensive news data with Quantifind’s AI-driven insights significantly enhances our ability to provide clients with timely and actionable intelligence.

How it integrates

Opoint is the news data layer, not the investigation tool. We deliver structured data via a flexible JSON API, so it feeds the EDD and case-management systems your team already uses.

If you build your own workflow, you integrate the feed directly. If you run an existing platform, our data widens what it can see. Either way, the job we do is coverage.

See what your due diligence is missing

Enhanced due diligence is only as good as the news behind it. Before you trust any EDD setup, find out what its coverage actually reaches.
Bring us the high-risk markets, counterparties, and languages you deal with, and we’ll show you what our data picks up, and when.

How fast does Opoint deliver?
