I can confirm that the PDF Factiva link is available; however, it is not located where you are currently navigating. To access the Factiva PDF links, please follow these steps:
- Navigate to the record you are investigating.
- Click into the Details section, as shown in the image below.
3. Scroll past the Notes section (where you are currently seeing Factiva links to the Dow Jones login page).
4. Further down, you will find a section titled Links (shown in the screenshot below). This section contains all the relevant PDF links corresponding to the notes above.
5. These links will take you directly to a PDF version of the Factiva page, like the example provided below.
When reviewing the details tab of a profile, you may see that the following links are greyed out:

Factiva Reader Access is an additional paid for module, which requires sits behind a feature ‘flag’ allowing us to track which customers have agreed a commercial position with us on this and therefore have access vs customers who do not. If you wish to have access Factiva you will be required to take out additional licence and pay additional fee, charged on a pass-through basis – this is based on number of seats.
What is Factiva?
Factiva contains copies of press articles licensed for redistribution from over 60,000 global
sources. These articles can form part of the source information presented on a Dow Jones
profile when an individual or entity is screened, and are predominantly surfaced as part of the
Adverse Media Entities (AME) Feed.
Factiva can be defined as ‘structured’ adverse media – containing confirmed AVM information
pertaining to an individual or entity. You can find further information here: Factiva - Global News
Monitoring & Search Engine | Dow Jones
What will happen if I do not proceed with Factiva Reader Access?
Your screening against Dow Jones, Sanctions, PEP and Watchlist profiling will remain
unchanged.
Although links to Factiva articles will still be visible through the Adverse Media Entities (AME)
feed, organisations who have not opted into the new access requirements will not be able to
view the associated information. Opting in is required if you wish to ensure continued access to
Factiva content for your users.
How is the access to Factiva links charged?
KYC360 customers will be charged on a per ‘seat’ or per ‘user’ basis. This is a pass-through cost
from Dow Jones to your business, administered by KYC360. KYC360 will not be seeking any
commercial margin in passing on the cost to you from DJ. If an agreement has been signed -
your charges for Factiva access will be retrospectively charged on a pro-rata basis at your next
renewal. At renewal, you will then be charged prospectively for the license year ahead. If you
wish to increase the number of seats midyear, you can do this by contacting
accountmanagement@kyc360.com.
What if I have multiple KYC360 products?
Factiva Reader Access will be managed at an organisational level. If your organisation utilises
multiple products, we will require the number of users/seats at an organisational level – with
charge only attributed to users, not products. For example, if an individual user with access to
RiskScreen and the Screening solution requires access to Factiva links in both products, this
would count as one seat, not two.
If some of your users of KYC360 products do not access Factiva links, they do not need to be
licensed to access Factiva content under this change.
Who do I contact for more information?
