What we screen for
Here’s how we help you detect risk, block bad actors, and meet your KYC and AML obligations:
Reality Check: Compliance in Action
A new applicant’s name triggers a PEP match. Our system highlights their role as a senior government official, prompting enhanced due diligence before onboarding.
Reality Check: Compliance in Action
A customer attempts a transaction from a country recently added to an EU sanctions list. Our system detects the sanctioned jurisdiction in real time, blocks the transaction, and alerts your compliance team—preventing a regulatory breach before it happens.
Reality Check: Compliance in Action
A customer passes initial checks, but adverse media screening reveals recent news of financial crime allegations. The account is flagged for review, preventing reputational damage.
Reality Check: Compliance in Action
An existing customer, onboarded months ago, is newly implicated in a high-profile money laundering investigation. Our ongoing monitoring detects a fresh adverse media hit and an updated sanctions listing, triggering an immediate alert and account review—keeping your business protected, every step of the way.
