World-Check Data File is a detailed and structured content delivery mechanism designed to assist organisations from the financial and non-financial sectors to help identify and manage financial, regulatory and reputational risk.  World-Check Data File is available in two subscription levels:

WORLD-CHECK STANDARD (S)
The full set of structured, de-duplicated, risk-based data with multiple secondary identifiers. The Standard base subscription includes:

• Standard Data File
• Deleted Records file

WORLD-CHECK ADVANCED (A) (FKA PREMIUM PLUS)
The full set of standard data as well as added features designed for organizations screening large numbers of records, and who require tools to make faster decisions on results during hit remediation. The Advanced base subscription includes:

• Premium Data File - all fields included in the Standard file plus: 
• Low Quality Alias, Update Category, PEP Roles, PEP Status, and Special Interest Categories fields
• PEP field Sub-Category classification (e.g. 'PEP N' indicating the PEP is within the national government. Standard file will only display 'PEP'.) 
• Option to add field update dates to your file configuration
• Deleted Records File
• Native Character Names File, containing more than 40 non-Latin character sets for screening names in native script
