Why screening queues stay full

Most hits are look-alike names. All of them still need a decision.

Exact matching misses spelling variants. Loose matching floods the queue. Either way, analysts spend hours proving that a customer isn't the person on the list.

Risk
Strict

Sanctions breaches don't need intent

OFAC can impose civil penalties on a strict liability basis, so you can be penalised for a breach you didn't know about. A missed true match is the expensive mistake.

Risk
R.12

PEPs need more than a name check

FATF Recommendation 12 asks for enhanced measures on foreign PEPs, including senior management approval and establishing source of wealth and source of funds.

Risk
Many

One name, many spellings

A single Arabic, Cyrillic or Devanagari name can be written in Latin script many ways. Tools that can't handle that either miss matches or bury your team in false ones.
