How it works: · You specify a name or customer database to check be checked against the specified set of sanction lists; · the checking is performed and the identified matches are reported; · you document the results of the investigations; they are stored audit safe. A clear and easy to understand similarity score is assigned to each detected matching. It shows the similarity degree between the checked name and the detected name(s) in the sanction lists. High performance string matching algorithms ensure the high quality search results. Relevant matches are also compared with the name de-rivatives, aliases, incorrectly spelled or other-wise distorted names, without flooding the user with irrelevant hits.
