AML Name Screening
Client screening is the screening of individuals or entities against international sanctions, PEP, watchlists, and negative media sources in an attempt to identify risk of financial crime.
Sanction Scanner's Name Screening software helps organizations automatically detect risky entities in real-time and remain AML compliant.
Name screening enables the detection of risky customers by organizations before financial crime is actually carried out.
Sanction Scanner helps financial institutions, fintechs, and cryptocurrency businesses comply with global AML regulations such as FATF, OFAC, and the EU's 6th Directive on AML, reducing both regulatory and reputational risk.
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 occur when unrelated names are inappropriately triggered. These are reduced by mixing name information with other identifiers such as date of birth, nationality, and ID number.
Adjustable matching thresholds and AI-based context filters from Sanction Scanner reduce false positives by more than 967%.
