Due diligence beyond name matching
Screening that understands context, relationships and risk indicators across global sanctions and PEP data.
Intelligent name matching
Handle transliterations, aliases and spelling variations to surface true matches while keeping false alerts down.
Global sanctions coverage
Screen against OFAC, UN Security Council, EU, UK HMT and other major international sanctions and PEP lists, updated as new designations are published.
Document verification
Extract identity document data with OCR, cross-check it against what the customer submitted, and feed the result into risk scoring.
Ongoing monitoring
Rescreen customers as lists change. Alerts trigger automatically when a new listing or PEP status change affects a customer's risk.
Custom watchlist management
Keep your own internal watchlists alongside global data: blocklists for known bad actors and allowlists for trusted, pre-cleared customers, so screening reflects your own risk decisions.

Reduce friction for legitimate customers while keeping rigorous standards. Every screening decision has a full audit trail for regulatory examination.

Questions about KYC & customer screening
What is KYC screening?
Know Your Customer (KYC) screening is the process of verifying customer identities and checking them against sanctions lists, PEP databases, and adverse media to assess risk.
What is a PEP?
A Politically Exposed Person (PEP) is someone who holds a prominent public position, making them potentially higher risk for involvement in bribery or corruption.
How does ongoing monitoring work?
Continuous monitoring rescreens customers against updated watchlists and adverse media sources, alerting you when risk profiles change after onboarding.
Can we screen against our own custom watchlists, not just public sanctions lists?
Yes. Alongside global sanctions and PEP data, you can maintain your own managed watchlists, including blocklists for known bad actors and allowlists for trusted, pre-cleared customers, so screening decisions reflect your own risk policy.
