Fewer false positives. No missed matches.
Name screening only works if the matching logic behind it is reliable. Too sensitive and your analysts drown in false alerts. Too loose and real risks slip through. Sanction Scanner uses AI-driven fuzzy matching to catch name variations, aliases, transliterations, and misspellings across all supported alphabets — without generating noise that slows your team down.
Screen names in any script — Latin, Arabic, Cyrillic, and more — with automatic transliteration so no variant falls through the gap.
Apply different sensitivity settings for retail customers, corporate entities, or high-risk segments. Your risk policy drives the system, not the other way around.
When a potential match is flagged, analysts see a consolidated profile pulling together all available data on that entity — so decisions are made with full context, not fragments.
Built for compliance teams that move fast and stay accurate
Screen one customer at onboarding or run your entire portfolio at once. Both modes use the same data sources and matching logic.
Search by name, date of birth, nationality, ID number, or passport — combine identifiers to sharpen results.
Every scan, match, and analyst decision is logged automatically. When a regulator asks, your records are ready.
Upload your own blacklists and whitelists alongside global data sources inside the same screening workflow.
Query results can be translated into your team's language for globally distributed compliance operations.
Review flagged matches, annotate decisions, escalate or dismiss cases — all within the platform, without switching tools.
Live in hours, not weeks
Sanction Scanner's API is built to fit your existing stack. Connect your onboarding flow, CRM, or case management system and have screening running in production within a day.
Webhook support enables two-way data transfer so your systems stay in sync automatically — no manual exports, no batch delays.

Frequently asked questions
The platform screens against 3,000+ global and local sources including OFAC, UN, EU, and HMT sanctions lists, structured PEP databases, and adverse media feeds updated every 15 minutes. You can also upload custom internal lists to run alongside global data.
Yes. FATF recommendations, EU Anti-Money Laundering Directives, FinCEN rules, and most national AML frameworks require regulated businesses to screen customers against sanctions and PEP lists at onboarding and on an ongoing basis.
Yes. Screening customers against sanctions lists, PEP databases, and adverse media is a required component of Know Your Customer due diligence under FATF recommendations, EU Anti-Money Laundering Directives, and most national AML frameworks. It applies at onboarding and on an ongoing basis throughout the customer relationship.
Fuzzy matching identifies names that are similar but not identical — covering aliases, spelling variations, and transliterations. Without it, a sanctioned individual could pass undetected simply by using a slightly different name format.
By combining multiple identifiers (name, date of birth, nationality, ID number) with configurable match thresholds and AI-driven context logic, the platform significantly reduces irrelevant alerts without increasing missed detections.
At minimum, at customer onboarding. Best practice is continuous monitoring so that any change in sanctions status, PEP designation, or adverse media coverage is caught as it happens — not at the next scheduled review.
Yes. Sanction Scanner supports screening across multiple alphabets and scripts with automatic transliteration, and query results can be translated into your team's language.
