Sanctions Screening for Global Banks

Sanctions Screening for Global Banks

Watchlist management is the foundation of effective AML compliance. Financial institutions must screen against sanctions, PEP, and adverse media lists to detect and prevent financial crime.

Why Compliance Pressure Is Increasing for Banks

Banks and Neobanks today face mounting pressure to comply with complex AML regulations while delivering fast, seamless customer experiences.

High Alert Volumes

Over 90% of AML alerts are false positives, leading to investigation delays, resource strain, and higher costs.

Disconnected Compliance Tools

Many banks still rely on legacy tools that separate onboarding, screening, and alert resolution, causing data gaps and inefficiencies.

Real-Time Payment Pressure

Batch-based tools can’t keep up with the demands of real-time payment schemes like SEPA Instant, SWIFT, and ISO 20022. Delays and failures are becoming unacceptable in an era of instant settlements.

Regulatory Complexity

Evolving requirements from FATF, MLRs, AMLDs, and other jurisdiction-specific AML regulations require financial institutions to adapt quickly with audit-ready, explainable decisioning.

How Facctum Delivers High-Accuracy Screening for Banks

Banks operate at scale, under constant regulatory pressure and extreme data volumes. Facctum delivers screening performance by structuring data, optimising workflows and applying intelligence where it has the greatest impact.

Start with Enterprise-Grade Risk Data

Bank-scale screening fails when underlying data is inconsistent or poorly governed. Facctum ensures watchlists, customer data and reference sources are clean, standardised and controlled before they enter screening workflows.

Optimise Screening for High-Volume Onboarding

Customer screening is applied with configurable logic designed for high-volume onboarding environments. Matching precision and risk thresholds are tuned to maintain regulatory coverage while avoiding unnecessary operational drag.

Screen Payments at Transaction Speed

Payment screening operates in real time, supporting large transaction volumes without introducing latency. Intelligent filtering ensures risk detection keeps pace with payment flows.

Detect Risk Patterns Across Accounts and Channels

Transaction monitoring adds behavioural context across customers, accounts and time periods, enabling banks to detect emerging risks that single-event checks cannot reveal.

Maintain Continuous Updates

Watchlists are continuously updated as source data changes, ensuring screening systems always operate on the most recent information.

Reduce Alert Volumes Through Intelligent Resolution

Alerts are enriched, prioritised and routed using contextual intelligence, reducing low-risk noise and focusing investigator effort on genuine exposure.

Maintain Full Auditability Under Regulatory Scrutiny

Every screening decision, alert action and data change is fully traceable, supporting internal governance, regulatory audits and supervisory reviews across jurisdictions.

Scale Compliance as Volumes Grow

Facctum’s modular architecture allows banks to scale screening capacity, data volumes and workflow complexity without replatforming or reengineering core systems.

Designed for Modern Banking Environments

Facctum integrates into core banking systems and compliance workflows, supporting AML screening, monitoring, and regulatory reporting across high-volume banking operations.
