What types of financial background checks are available?

Adverse credit check

A UK based check, providing a ‘soft search’ of an individual’s financial history. The search does not impact the candidate’s credit rating and highlights to you any:

  • County Court Judgments
  • Insolvency records
  • Bankruptcy records

An adverse credit check will also confirm the candidate’s current address by searching electoral roll information.

Sanctions check

A global search of a large range of government and international databases, that highlights restrictions placed on individuals who have committed financial crimes or misconduct. A number of publicly available databases are searched which include:

  • HM Treasury Sanctions List
  • UN Sanctions List
  • EU Consolidated List of Sanctions
  • OFAC Sanctions List

Utilising DDC’s sanctions check ensures you have the most up to date data from multiple sources in one search. Included in the sanction check is a search of politically exposed persons (PEPs) who may be considered high risk.

DDC also provide tailored packages to meet FCA requirements to assess the honesty, integrity and reputation of an individual to perform their role.
