Name Screening

Name Screening

In the Namescreening tab, you can see which terms were checked in the course of the namescreening and which hits were found. The namescreening searches PEP, sanctions (terror and embargo), watch and blacklists:

    -The company name
    -The names of the company's beneficial owners
    -The legal representatives

If no hits are found, this implies that the search term does not exist in any of the available lists or displayed information has been classified as not relevant. Similar names are also displayed in the results to minimize the risk of typing errors. You can check the relevance of all information and thus whether the information should be attached to the case.

In this case, 11 out of 13 letters are in the correct positions, resulting in an 85% match rate. This rule excludes characters that have been replaced by other characters, such as replacing "รถ" with "oe". Below is a list of all replaceable characters:
