AML Name Screening
Sanctions screening is the process of checking individuals, companies, and transactions against government and international sanctions lists such as OFAC, UN, EU, and HM Treasury. It helps businesses identify sanctioned parties before onboarding or processing payments, and is a core requirement of most AML compliance programs.
PEP and sanction screening is important because it identifies high-risk individuals, such as politically exposed persons and sanctioned parties, before they enter a business relationship. It is a regulatory obligation under most AML frameworks and reduces exposure to bribery, corruption, and sanctions-related financial crime.
The system scans a wide range of global and local data sources, including sanctions lists (OFAC, UN, EU), PEP lists, watchlists, and adverse media databases from more than 3000
Sanction Scanner also allows for uploading and managing internal/local blacklists and whitelists to customize their screening process.
A Client screening tool collects relevant identity information, compares it with active databases, and warns for possible matches.
Sanction Scanner uses ultimate AI-Driven fuzzy matching algorithms to identify variations, aliases, and misspells with accurate alerts in milliseconds.
Ultimate AI-Driven fuzzy matching is a technique that identifies similar or variant names that may be the same person or entity with AI and other algorithms.
Sanction Scanner's advanced fuzzy ultimate AI-Driven fuzzy matching logic identifies close matches and alias patterns with minimized missed detections and false positive alerts.
False positives in sanctions screening are reduced by using quality, structured list data, applying fuzzy-matching thresholds tuned to risk appetite, adding secondary identifiers like date of birth and nationality, and using whitelisting for previously cleared matches. Regular tuning of matching rules keeps alert volumes manageable without missing true hits.
