With today’s sharper focus on accurate and timely client, counterparty and issuer information as a result of recent legislation, CounterpartyLink was formed to be the world’s leading source of high-quality data on legal entities, specifically designed to support an effective compliance regime.
In the past, the effects of using inconsistent legal entity data, accumulated in different business units, countries or product silos were – at worst – an inconvenience because of account processing inefficiencies and customer service problems.
With CounterpartyLink, your organisation gains a substantial tool to aid in complying with regulations and creating a complete view of risk exposures.
Our mission is to reduce the burden of collecting and maintaining compliant legal entity data, by providing accurate and auditable global information from primary sources, and maintaining it through efficient, documented processes.
CounterpartyLink is today’s highest quality source of legal entity data. Here’s why:
Thorough Original Sourcing. Data is collected from primary sources and registration documents and cross-verified with a second source when it improves accuracy and timeliness.
Reducing the Maintenance Burden. CounterpartyLink monitors each entity record for corporate actions and other changes or notifications on a daily basis. Clients who contract with CounterpartyLink for a specific record set receive updates to those records for the contract period.
Rigorous Quality Assurance Standards. Data is collected and validated using rigorous quality assurance procedures. These steps help provide your organisation with quality data for credit risk management and regulatory compliance.
Qualified Data Collection Staff. Data is collected and maintained by a highly qualified, specialised staff. Each data analyst completes an extensive training program, and data analyst team members are continually reviewed for their adherence to the strict CounterpartyLink procedures and quality standards.
Comprehensive Content. CounterpartyLink contains extensive, multi-layered detail on each entity. For example, in addition to legal name, CounterpartyLink contains alias information as well as address fields that cover registered address, headquarters and mailing address.
Current, Relevant Rules. CounterpartyLink data is collected, validated and maintained using automated rules that are continually monitored and adapted for factors including, but not limited to, changes in underlying data sources and regulatory requirements.
