Case Study: Sansan achieves streamlined company compliance checks with Refinitiv World-Check

Trust And Global Expertise Convinced Sansan To Partner With Refinitiv To Improve Efficiency Of Company Risk Checks

Sansan, an award‑winning Japanese cloud-based business card management company, faced a growing compliance challenge: time-consuming, error‑prone manual checks for companies linked to anti‑social forces (ASF). To automate and harden this process, Sansan partnered with Refinitiv and built an automated cloud‑based ASF screening service that links its mobile business card scanning and CRM/MA workflows to Refinitiv World-Check.

Refinitiv World-Check data is integrated into Sansan’s screening flow so company names captured by the mobile scanner are automatically cross‑checked and flagged for further due diligence if needed. The Refinitiv‑powered solution has reduced manual workload and sped up ASF checks, and is widely adopted across Sansan’s 6,500 corporate clients (over 83% market share in Japan), including Nikkei 225 companies and government bodies, while also supporting Sansan’s plans for overseas expansion.
