Manual Screening

Manual screening lets you check an individual or organization against watchlists, sanctions, and PEP data on demand. Use it for ad-hoc due diligence — for example, onboarding a new customer or reviewing a one-off transaction.

Running a screening

1. Go to Manual Lookup → Screening.
2. Select the Entity type: Person, Company, Organization, or choose another type from the dropdown.
3. Enter the available search criteria:
   • Name
   • NID / Passport #
   • Expiry Date
   • Birth date (full date or year only)
   • Nationality (country name or code)
4. Leave Save to history enabled to keep a record of the search.
5. Click Submit.

!!! tip You don't need to fill in every field. A name alone will return results, but adding date of birth or nationality narrows them down and improves match accuracy.

Reviewing results

Each potential match is shown with:

• A match score indicating how closely it fits your query.
• Topic tags such as Sanctioned Entity, Politician (PEP), Close Associate, Person of Interest, or Wanted.
• The data sources the record came from.

!!! warning "Sanctioned Entity matches" A Sanctioned Entity tag means the record appears on a sanctions list (for example OFAC SDN, EU, or UK HMT/OFSI). A confirmed true-positive sanctions match is typically a hard stop for onboarding: do not proceed with the customer, escalate to your compliance/MLRO team, and follow your organisation's sanctions procedures. Always confirm it is a genuine match — and not a false positive on a similar name — before taking action.

Expand a result to see full details (names and aliases, date and place of birth, addresses, and source links). Use the Topics and Data Sources filters on the right to narrow a large result set.

Dispositioning matches

Open a screening from Screening History to review and resolve it:

• Mark each potential match as Match or No Match.
