OD GeoRisk

Intelligent risk assessment for high-risk jurisdictions
& cross-border payments

Pinpoint High-Risk Jurisdictions. Strengthen Compliance. Reduce Financial Crime.

With cross-border payments on the rise, financial institutions face increasing challenges in verifying payment and customer jurisdictions. Address inconsistencies, varying global formats, and unstructured data make risk assessment complex, leading to compliance gaps and potential exposure to financial crime.

Introducing OD GeoRisk

OD GeoRisk is a powerful solution designed to identify, verify, and assess the risk of global payment and customer locations. Unlike traditional address validation tools, OD GeoRisk processes unstructured, bulked, and semi-structured text from any data source—ensuring accurate jurisdiction identification even when standard address formats are unavailable.

Comprehensive Risk Scoring

Using detailed street-level address data, OD GeoRisk assigns risk scores based on trusted global standards, including:

UK National Risk Assessment
FATF (Financial Action Task Force) Standards
BASEL AML Index
Worldwide Governance Indicators

Key features

1 / Powerful data interogation

Interrogates unstructured and semi-structured text, and not just numeric data, from any data source to identify address and country.

2 / Global coverage

Sophisticated algorithms to identify, score and rank accuracy of all references contained within the presented data to any global geographic location.

3 / High-risk country checks

Determines the risks associated with a particular payment message or customer in relation to the countries involved.

4 / Streamlined reporting

Seamlessly create, review and amend reports for use by different teams across your Line 1, Line 2 and Line 3 teams.

The use of unstructured addresses in cross-border payments can result in delays and additional costs for banks and other financial service providers due to the volume of 'false positives' they generate.

With OD GeoRisk, financial institutions can detect high-risk locations, ensure compliance, and proactively mitigate financial crime risks in cross-border transactions.
