Getting Transaction Screening Right: Managing Sanctions & Proliferation Financing Risk In MENA
Real-time payments in the Middle East are on track to reach 3 billion transactions by 2028, each needing a screening decision in seconds. Up to 1 in 10 payments triggers an alert, most of them false positives, yet many institutions still screen every payment flow with the same configuration. The result is unnecessary alerts in some flows and too little scrutiny in others.
SAMA expects screening before execution, matching that handles Arabic transliteration, and methods suited to each institution’s risk. In this webinar, MOZN’s experts will show how to turn those expectations into flexible, risk-based real-time screening, with a live peer poll and Q&A.
Webinar Content Guide
What Attendees Will Learn:
“Real time” doesn’t mean real-time investigation.
Decisions must be fast; investigations needn’t be. The real risk is avoidable alerts holding up legitimate payments.
Richer ISO 20022 data doesn’t automatically reduce alerts.
Treat its fields as plain text, and it can create more misleading matches, not fewer.
Not every false positive has the same cause.
Misread data and genuine ambiguity need different fixes. Blanket threshold changes weaken detection and are hard to defend to examiners.
Screening in Arabic needs more than name matching.
Transliteration affects names, companies and addresses alike. Matching across party roles, bank identifiers and payment context gives a sharper answer.
A risk-based approach has to work across every channel and rail.
One configuration over-alerts some flows and under-scrutinizes others. See how MOZN’s Screening Templates keep each flow’s controls governed and traceable.
