Screened in real time,

How screening works

From match to resolution

Onboarding

Screen at sign-up

Every individual and beneficial owner is screened before an account is activated.

Per transaction

Real-time screening

Payer, payee and intermediary details are screened on every transaction in real time.

Continuous

List re-screening

The customer base is re-screened whenever sanctions lists change, so new designations are caught.

Investigate

Alert review

Potential matches are held and reviewed by trained analysts to clear false positives.

Block

Block & freeze

Confirmed matches are blocked or frozen and the transfer is stopped immediately.

Report

Report to authorities

We report to the relevant authority and file SARs where there is a legal obligation.
