Challenges

Challenges We Solve

Request Demo
Delayed detection of newly sanctioned parties
Without continuous screening, institutions risk missing new sanctions or PEP designations on existing customers, exposing themselves to compliance gaps.
Manual management of watchlist updates
Manually updating and validating global and regional watchlists consumes investigators’ time and increases the risk of screening against outdated data.
High volume of false positives
Inaccurate name matching floods investigators with irrelevant alerts, slowing reviews and diverting focus from true AML risks.
