FAQs

: We work with ComplyAdvantage, a provider that uses artificial intelligence and machine learning to both gather and deliver data.
: Our system draws data from a multitude of sources globally. We screen lists relating to sanctions, politically exposed persons, regulatory warnings and fitness and probity. These sources are constantly subject to updates and changes.
: The majority of sources we use are updated and made available to our clients within a few minutes. The screening teams responsible for these updates operate 24/7, while many sanctions updates are captured automatically by digital monitoring of sanctions lists.
: The screening search enables firms to identify and manage potential risks presented by clients and UBOs. By drawing on a wide range of sources and presenting the information in a clear, easy to understand way, firms are able to use the service to build up a complete picture of their client and make an informed risk-based decision.
: The system has a variety of outputs which are flagged in both our portal and downloadable report. Our system flags all positive or potential screening matches and we have optimised our thresholds to minimise false positives. For any flagged names, we then provide deep dive data on all possible matches and further information that is available on each.
The system flags all name matches with the same year of birth (not only the exact date of birth) and uses both fuzzy name matching and phonetic name matching. All results that are relevant to the search name are then listed and presented for your consideration. We cover all jurisdictions and nationalities, globally. In total, there are five categories of hits that the system can detect:
• Sanctions
• Politically exposed person (PEP)
• Regulatory enforcements and warnings
• Fitness and Probity
• Adverse Media
: Yes. When viewing your report you can use the ‘Dismiss’ function to rule out any results that you’re confident are not your client. We’ll then collect information such as who dismissed the result and the reason why. We’ll also time-stamp this for you and add the dismissal to your audit trail.
