Adverse Media MonitoringNamesakes filtered · Analyst decides

Catch negative news on your customers early and see only the hits that matter

The agent checks news and public sources for financial crime, fraud and corruption stories tied to your customers. It filters out namesakes and irrelevant mentions, then links each relevant hit to the customer's risk profile. Your analysts review a short list instead of a page of search results.

Why adverse media checks get skipped

A name search returns pages. Your analysts need the three that matter.

Common names return hundreds of results, most about someone else. So searches get done at onboarding and rarely again, which is exactly when the useful news appears.

Risk
R.10

Due diligence doesn't end at onboarding

FATF Recommendation 10 requires ongoing due diligence on the business relationship. News that breaks after onboarding is part of that picture.

Risk
Namesakes

Most hits are about someone else

A customer with a common name can return hundreds of results. Without location, age and employer checks, analysts read every one.

Risk
Local

The news that matters is often local

Stories about a mid-market customer appear in regional papers and local languages first. English-only searches miss them.
