Real-time Screening

Real-time screening checks customer or transaction data instantly against sanctions lists, PEP databases, adverse media, or internal denylists at the point of onboarding or transaction execution. This prevents prohibited individuals or entities from entering the system or conducting financial activity.Regulators expect financial institutions to implement real-time checks to minimize risk of sanctions breaches or money laundering. Banks, fintechs, and payment processors rely on automated tools to deliver millisecond responses without disrupting customer experience. Effective real-time screening balances speed with accuracy by applying fuzzy matching, contextual risk scoring, and adaptive thresholds. It is essential for industries operating in high-volume, high-risk environments such as payments, remittances, and securities trading.
