Overview

Our Screening module checks customers through TR.NAMEMATCH — screening technology built and operated in-house by the Triangle group — against the UN Security Council Consolidated List, US OFAC (SDN, including the SDN Advanced dataset), and the EU Consolidated Financial Sanctions List, plus the Dow Jones Risk & Compliance dataset covering politically exposed persons and their close associates.

Names are matched across Arabic and Latin script with similarity scoring (0–100%) and a configurable threshold. Potential matches come back for your analysts to review and disposition inside AmlShield; confirmed false positives are remembered per watchlist record and suppressed on rescreening, with the supporting evidence preserved.

Your own local or internal watchlists can be screened alongside the global lists. Scheduled periodic rescreening keeps existing customers checked on a configurable cadence, and every screening decision is captured in a complete audit trail for regulatory review.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does screening cover?

Screening runs on TR.NAMEMATCH, the Triangle group's in-house technology. It covers the UN Security Council Consolidated List, US OFAC (SDN and SDN Advanced), and the EU Consolidated Financial Sanctions List, plus the Dow Jones Risk & Compliance dataset covering politically exposed persons and their relatives and close associates. Your own local or internal lists can be added and screened alongside these.

How are watchlists kept current?

List maintenance is handled centrally by the Triangle group's screening service, so your institution does not load or maintain watchlist files. AmlShield adds scheduled periodic rescreening of your customer base on a configurable cadence.

Can we tune matching sensitivity?

Yes. Matching and rescreening thresholds are configurable, so you can tune how aggressively potential matches are surfaced for review.

What about continuous monitoring?

Existing customers are rescreened automatically on a scheduled, configurable cadence. New matches generate alerts for review, and previously dispositioned false positives stay suppressed.

How do you handle false positives?

Confirmed false positives are recorded per watchlist record and suppressed on future rescreens, with the supporting evidence preserved — analysts never re-clear the same match.

Is PEP screening included?

Yes. PEP screening is part of the same screening request as sanctions and adverse media, delivered through the Triangle group's screening service.
