# Transaction Screening

> Screen transactions in real time against sanctions lists, high-risk countries, and suspicious keywords.

Transaction Screening evaluates each transaction against a set of predefined criteria to identify potentially suspicious or prohibited activity. It cross-checks transactions for sanctions exposure, high-risk geography, and suspicious keyword patterns to help you maintain regulatory compliance and prevent financial crime.
