More Than a Screening Match

Screening identifies potential risks. The real challenge is knowing what each alert means and what to do next.

A potential match is identified when customer details resemble information in a sanctions, PEP or other screening record.

Alert

The potential match is flagged for review so compliance teams can examine identifiers and assess the associated risk.

The available evidence confirms that the customer or relevant party matches the screened record, requiring appropriate compliance action.

Screening checks names against lists. Transaction monitoring analyses transaction behaviour. Perpetual KYC refreshes the wider customer record.
