Sanctions Screening

Sanctions screening is the process of checking a person, organization, vessel, aircraft or cryptocurrency wallet against published sanctions lists and related risk datasets to identify potential matches. Lists are issued by bodies such as the United Nations, the European Union and national authorities, and screening is required in regulated sectors under anti-money-laundering rules. A screening hit is a candidate-level match: it must be resolved against identifying attributes before it is treated as a designation, and a no-match result is not a clearance certificate. Screening reflects list contents at a point in time and should be repeated as lists change. The Nexus Sanctions, PEP and Risk Screening Skill preserves that identity uncertainty in its results.
