Why It Matters

Compliance pressure is rising on every desk.

From the COO to the CFO, fragmented data and manual checks slow onboarding, inflate cost, and increase the risk of breaches, fines, and lost customer trust.

80%Fewer false positives

Enhanced customer due diligence

Traditional name-matching mistakes legitimate customers for sanctioned parties, flooding teams with alerts. Robust CDD and real-time monitoring flag genuine risk and cut the noise.

98%Sanctions accuracy

Real-time list management

Sanctions lists from OFAC, UN, EU and others change daily. We pull updates from major authorities and apply them instantly to both new and existing customers.

70%Faster reporting

Behavioural analytics & scoring

Rule-based systems give every alert equal weight. We layer behavioural analytics and contextual risk — industry, geography — with automated scoring and reporting workflows.

100%Audit lineage

End-to-end data lineage

Regulators expect you to "show your work." Every activity is traced end-to-end, giving full traceability for each transaction — audit-ready by design.

Name Matching

Precision matching that cuts the noise.

A multi-stage matching engine that understands how names really vary — structurally, linguistically, and phonetically — before scoring.

01

Structural match

Matches individual name elements, then surfaces the most relevant matches first.

02

Linguistic variations

Analyzes names with fuzzy search plus phonetic and linguistic matching.

03

Match score calculation

Combines element scores with an overall structural score using weighted logic.

04

Final score after penalization
