Name Screening
Ensure fast, accurate, and hassle-free name screening with Idenfo Direct. Our AI-powered name screening solution helps businesses stay compliant by detecting risks in real-time, minimizing false positives, and streamlining KYC name screening and AML name screening processes.
What is Name Screening?
Name screening is a vital process within KYC compliance tools and AML compliance solutions that verifies individuals and entities against global watchlists to prevent financial crime. It plays a key role in financial crime prevention by identifying high-risk profiles such as politically exposed persons (PEPs) and sanctioned individuals. For regulated businesses and financial institutions, effective name screening solutions ensure adherence to regulatory requirements and reduce the risk of onboarding fraudulent or high-risk customers.
