History
In addition to providing 70% more data than any competitor, with a database of 5.5 million records that is updated daily from over 15,000 public sources, what sets RDC apart from the competition is that we were formed by the financial services industry - a proactive industry response to the serious threats posed to global security by money laundering, fraud, corruption, terrorist financing, organized crime, and other suspicious activities. The idea for RDC originated in 1999 and was developed by some of the world's leading financial institutions to form RDC in 2002. The need was even more pronounced after the USA PATRIOT Act (Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act) was passed in October 2001 which expands the authority of the Secretary of the Treasury to regulate the activities of U.S. financial institutions, particularly with respect to relations with foreign individuals and entities. The passing of the PATRIOT Act has increased the responsibilities placed on financial institutions and highlights the dangerous link between terrorist organizations and money laundering.
