Your sanctions screening just broke: managing 50+ data sources without burying your team
UK compliance teams are struggling with over 50 fragmented sanctions lists that require real-time monitoring. The increase in alerts, particularly false positives, is overwhelming and unsustainable. Effective match testing and no-code orchestration can significantly reduce the burden on these teams.
- ▪Compliance teams are facing a 25% increase in entries on sanctions lists, leading to a surge in alerts.
- ▪Daily batch checks are no longer sufficient due to real-time evasion tactics by entities using cryptocurrency.
- ▪Proper testing of match settings can reduce false positives by 50-70%, improving operational efficiency.
