Global Watch™ 
EBI's propriety search Global Watch™ is comprised of a multitude of both data and media searches. Global Watch™ is a search of global regulatory authorities and global compliance checks including OFAC, financial crime investigative database searches, U.S., European, and politically exposed persons (PEP) databases. This service also includes the search of money laundering, corporate scandals and terrorist financing databases, stolen passport databases and a foreign press search which is translated into English for easy readability. Local and global media searches are performed and include the local language of the jurisdiction along with foreign news sources within archives.

Criminal Record Check
(includes court record documentation where available)
International Criminal Court/Police Record checks are performed (when/where permissible) at either the national criminal register level, the district or city police as applicable. The court level and search method depends on the individual country or area being searched along with permissibility and availability of information. EBI provides a unique added value of authenticity by supplying actual court documentation of records information directly from the governing authority where available.

Employment Verification
(each) 
Verification of one former employer’s name and location, contact information for employer’s HR department, supervisor’s name and department, dates of employment and job titles, as well as rate of pay, reason for leaving, and eligibility of rehire is provided where available.

Employment Verification Extended
(includes reference interview)
In addition to an Employment Verification, this service consists of interviews with one past supervisor or professional reference and includes a line of questioning in respect to the overall performance and reliability of the candidate. Supervisors will only be contacted if they are still with the same employer. A thorough interview will be conducted if the reference agrees to cooperate, and if company policy allows them to provide such information. Interviews are typically conducted in local language and translated into English for ease of review.

Higher Education Verification
(includes accreditation verification where available)
The increased popularity of distance learning, combined with the reality of diploma mills and accreditation mills, has made it difficult for employers to determine fact from fiction when it comes to degrees, diplomas and the legitimacy of institutions that issue them. EBI has the solution for this growing global issue. Not only do we verify the focus of study, dates and degree received, EBI will determine if the institution is a known or suspected diploma mill based on a thorough check of suspect elements pertinent to the institution. In addition, we will determine if the institution is accredited and if so, by which accrediting agency depending on each individual country. EBI provides a unique added value of authenticity by providing additional information from the institution’s registrar’s office where the verification was obtained. Our report will clearly present all pertinent information for your review as available.

Consumer Credit
A summary of fiduciary responsibility and public records information is provided as available in each country. This service includes civil suits, judgments, bankruptcies, tax liens and collection accounts, if applicable. Due to local privacy laws and the fact that overseas financial institutions do not make credit card payment histories available to U.S. credit reporting agencies, these reports are more verification in nature, and offer less information than what is offered in U.S. reports. Content, quality of information, and availability will vary from country to country based on local conditions and privacy restrictions.

Civil Litigation
Civil litigation and judgment records abroad differ from those domestically. The majority of international countries consider civil record searches attesting to the financial responsibility of an applicant. This will usually mean carrying out a local civil litigation and/or bankruptcy search individually and as available in each country. Content, quality of information, and availability will vary from country to country and are based on local records and availability of such information.

Corporate Affiliation
This service is a search of the applicant being on record with a country’s local company registration body as being a company director, shareholder or business owner. This search is important to determine if the applicant has any conflicting affiliation with other business entities both current and past.

Bankruptcy
Bankruptcy searches are the same or similar to Civil Litigation searches in many countries depending on the reporting and availability of such information. This service varies by country and additional information is available when the country being searched is determined for each request.
