Name Screening that explains every match

DetectX® checks customers, counterparties, entities and vessels against sanctions lists, PEP registers and adverse media sources, and shows the relationships between them. Every alert arrives with its similarity score, the source list the match came from, and a recorded history of what your analysts did next.

Illustrative DetectX® interface replicating the av2 deployment, cycling through three screens: a single name check, the online alert queue as a row-card list with similarity headlines, and the alert detail with its summary card, nine tabs and field grid. Synthetic data.

The DetectX® Approach

One engine, every list, every check.

DetectX® Name Screening checks every customer, counterparty and entity against sanctions lists, PEP registers and your own lists: at onboarding, on every change and in periodic runs.
Each name is scored against the threshold you set, and the result goes back to your core system.

Every name, every time it matters.A customer is screened when they are opened, whenever their data changes, in periodic batch runs over your whole customer base, and whenever an analyst checks a name by hand. Every route uses the same engine and lands in one queue.

Key Benefits & Impact

Detection is not the hard part. The review is.

A screening engine that flags generously is easy to build and impossible to staff. DetectX® decides what reaches an analyst at all, and every alert that does arrives with the evidence to work it.

01 / 07
Match Evidence

Every alert opens with its evidence.

The similarity score, the source list, the matched attributes and the match status are on the alert from the moment it opens.

Work the queue that matters today.

Filter by status, date, minimum similarity, list, list type and previous listing, in any combination, and start with what counts.

Whitelisting & Watchlisting

Narrow the noise, widen the watch.

A confirmed False Positive is not raised again on the next run.
A watchlisted subject stays under closer monitoring, listed or not.

Link Analysis shows who the subject is connected to.

Reporting

Reports from the record, not a spreadsheet.

Standard and custom reports, and SAR/STR reports for your Financial Intelligence Unit, all produced from the alert itself.

Regulatory Reporting
Adverse Media

Check the news without leaving the alert.

MediaSearch opens from the alert on the same subject, scores every article for risk and sentiment, and publishes back what matters.

AI-Assisted Review

AI that reads the alert and works the queue.

The copilot explains every alert and suggests a next step.
The agent triages new alerts, and your team decides what it may act on.

Why DetectX®

Most systems find the match. DetectX® carries the review.

Finding a name on a list is the easy part. What takes your team’s time is deciding each alert and showing how it was decided. DetectX® brings the evidence, the connections and the record to the alert, so the review is faster and the decision stands up.

The Audit Trail

Every decision, on the record.

From the moment a match opens as an alert to the moment it is signed off, every step is recorded against the alert itself: who acted, when, on what evidence and why. An examiner reads the decision from the record, not from memory.

One alert, as the record holds it · invented example

  1. Alert raisedSystem

    The score, source list, matched attributes and match status are on the alert from the moment it opens.

  2. AI triageAI agent

    The agent records its verdict and confidence score, and routes the alert to review.

  3. Assignede.marti

    Role-based user rights decide who may claim and work the alert.

  4. Disposition proposede.marti

    False Positive, with the justification for it. The analyst requests a White List entry.

  5. Four-eyes sign-offj.feldmann

    A second reviewer claims the alert actively. Their reason and decision are recorded against it.

Name Screening shares the AlertViewer, lists and audit trail with every DetectX® module. Workflows, Link Analysis and SAR/STR reporting for your Financial Intelligence Unit all draw on the same record.

How Name Screening Works

Try it yourself: five steps, from a name to a recorded decision.

DetectX® screens every name, gives each alert an AI recommendation, and records every step your team takes until the alert is closed. Your analyst decides on every recommendation.

Name Screening FAQs

What compliance teams ask before choosing DetectX®.

Something we haven’t covered?Talk to our team

A sanctions match means you may be prohibited from dealing with the person and may have to freeze their assets. A PEP match does not prohibit the relationship: it raises the risk and calls for enhanced due diligence. DetectX® screens against both kinds of list, and PEP checks can carry their own threshold.

The global sanctions lists your organisation subscribes to, plus PEP registers, blacklists, watchlists and your own internal lists. Lists are imported from your providers, every check runs against the current version, and the source list is recorded on every alert.

Single names are screened in real time as they arrive from your core system or through the REST API. Whole customer bases are re-screened in batch, from a file upload or the DetectX® data mart. Each result goes back as hit or no hit, and both routes feed the same alert queue.

Yes. An AI agent triages every new alert with a verdict and a confidence score, and the AI copilot sets out what matches, what differs and what is missing. Your team decides which verdicts the agent may act on, and the analyst makes the final call.

Most of the cost of name screening is review time. The business case comes from three drivers: how many alerts reach an analyst, how long each one takes to work, and how many cleared matches come back. DetectX® addresses all three with tuning, the White List and evidence on every alert.
