Transaction screening is a process that evaluates each transaction against a set of predefined criteria to identify potentially suspicious or prohibited activities. This involves cross-checking transactions for:
Sanctioned Entities: Identifying transactions involving entities on sanction lists.
High-Risk Countries: Screening transactions associated with countries flagged as high-risk.
Suspicious Keywords: Detecting keywords that may indicate fraudulent or suspicious behavior.
Transaction screening helps organizations maintain regulatory compliance, detect financial crime, and prevent transactions associated with illicit activity.
