RepRisk supplies business conduct and reputational risk intelligence to banks, investment firms and institutions. In a brokerage ecosystem, it informs decisions about counterparties, issuers and business relationships through researched incidents and risk indicators. The service combines machine learning with human research and offers several ways to consume the data.[1]
For banking and brokerage groups, relevant workflows include counterparty reviews, client onboarding, transaction diligence and continuing oversight. RepRisk also describes applications in credit, project finance, trade finance and IPO approvals. Its signals can help prioritize investigation and escalation; the institution still decides whether a relationship or transaction meets its own policies.[2]
Services and product scope
Sections ↑Products and analytical roles
| Product | What it provides | Operational use |
|---|---|---|
| RepRisk Platform | Company and project research, issue filters, country-sector analysis, watchlists and email alerts. | Analyst diligence and monitoring of an agreed portfolio or relationship universe.Source 3 |
| Risk metrics | RRI measures exposure on a 0–100 scale; RRR uses AAA–D and incorporates country and sector affiliations. The UNGC flag identifies high or potential principle-violation risk. | Use metrics for triage and comparison, then inspect the incidents behind a score.Source 4 |
| Due Diligence Scores | Thematic measures spanning more than 200 individual factors, with preconfigured or customized packages. | Identify concentrated risks, support policy thresholds and prioritize stewardship or enhanced diligence. Thematic factors are a separate product description from the core research taxonomy.Source 5 |
| Geospatial | Links mining and oil-and-gas projects to environmentally sensitive areas, business conduct research and owner/operator information. Protected-area data comes from the IBAT Alliance. | Assess location-related biodiversity exposure alongside issuer or project diligence; proximity is an analytical input, not a finding of environmental harm.Source 6 |
| Company Reports | The sample combines quantitative two-year and ten-year views with qualitative incident research, trends and issue heatmaps. | A defined company review suitable for an approval file. Confirm the report period and latest template when ordering.Source 3 |

Pricing and commercial scope
Sections ↑RepRisk says its business is financed by client data-subscription fees. The reviewed public materials do not publish a standard enterprise tariff. The buying discussion should specify platform seats, feed or API rights, entities monitored, history, permitted internal uses and external sharing. A quote should distinguish recurring access from implementation work and any separately licensed distribution channel.[10]
Separate purchase enquiries are available for company and benchmarking reports. Specify the report required and its intended use when requesting terms.[3]

| Resource | Use | Limit |
|---|---|---|
| Research Lab data | Inspect sample company information. | Not the full commercial production universe.Source 11 |
| Notebooks | Explore risk measures, scores and backtesting. | No assurance of future investment returns.Source 11 |
| WRDS | Academic research access. | Different context from enterprise redistribution.Source 11 |
| Production mapping | Validate the intended entity universe and identifiers. | A working demonstration does not establish complete licensed coverage.Source 3 |

Permissions and regulatory position
Sections ↑RepRisk’s regulatory disclosure, checked on 26 October 2026, says it has notified ESMA of its intention to seek authorisation and will submit an application through RepRisk Germany GmbH, together with an endorsement application concerning RepRisk AG.

The page also provides a route for reasoned concerns about sources, factual errors, methodology and representativeness.[14]

They describe Swiss law and a Zurich forum, but should not be presented as the complete commercial subscription agreement.
