Configure Moody's Grid

Moody's Grid is a data provider you can use to run these checks:

Setup requirements

To add a check variant of the PEPs and sanctions screening check for individuals or the Sanctions and adverse media screening check for companies using Moody's Grid as a data provider, we'll need the following:

  • Your Moody's Grid username and password: These are the same credentials you use to log into the Moody's Grid portal. We recommend you create an account specifically for Maxsight and send us those credentials. If you choose to do this, please send us the credentials before you log in to the Moody's Grid portal for the first time because when you log in, you’ll be asked to reset your password.

  • Your webhook username and password: You choose what these will be. There are no restrictions on the length or characters in your username and password. For example, you might choose grid@[yourdomain].com for your username.

  • Global location: The location of your Moody's Grid account servers. This can be the United Kingdom or the United States.

For help getting any of this information, please speak to your Moody's Grid account manager.

To enable ongoing monitoring, contact Moody's Grid Support and request that your account sends portfolio results and your username and password to the following Maxsight webhook URL:

https://{api_region}/callback/rdc?wsdl

Replace {api_region} with the API URL specific to your region. Use api.us.maxsight.com for the US region, api.eu.maxsight.com for the EU region, or api.ae.maxsight.com for the UAE region.

Ongoing monitoring will not work otherwise.

If you’re using Moody's Grid for the PEPs and sanctions screening check for individuals and the Sanctions and adverse media screening check for companies, the same webhook username and password are used for both checks. You only need to send one request to Moody's Grid Support to send portfolio results to the previous URL.

Test your configuration

Once the check variant is configured, follow these steps in your demo environment to test whether it's working as expected.

The steps required depend on the type of check.

Test the PEPs and sanctions screening check for individual entities

  1. Does the check complete when no matches are returned from Moody's Grid?

    To run the test, create an individual entity with no other potential matches returned from previous screening checks and run the check variant. If the check is marked Completed and no new matches are displayed in the check results, it’s working as expected.

  2. Does the check display PEPs matches returned from Moody's Grid?

    To run the test, create an individual entity with PEP as part of the entity’s first name or surname Alex PEP Wheeler, and run the check variant. If the check status is Unresolved events and there are PEPs matches for David Cameron displayed in the check results, it’s working as expected.

  3. Does the check display sanctions matches returned from Moody's Grid?

    To run the test, create an individual entity with sanction as part of the entity’s first name or surname Alex sanction Wheeler, and run the check variant. If the check status is Unresolved events Unresolved events and there are sanctions matches for Bahsar Al-Assad displayed in the check results, it’s working as expected.

  4. Does the check display adverse media matches returned from Moody's Grid?

    To run the test, create an individual entity with media as part of the entity's first name or surname Alex media Wheeler, and run the check variant on the Assess PEPs, sanctions, and adverse media task. If the check status is Unresolved events and there are adverse media matches for David Cameron displayed in the check results, it's working as expected.

Test the Sanctions and adverse media screening check for company entities
