Screen sanctions risk across the customer lifecycle
Screen customers and counterparties against global sanctions data, investigate potential matches with more context, and continuously monitor relationships as risk changes.
Sanctions screening is more than a one-time name check
Customers and counterparties have to be screened at onboarding and continuously throughout the relationship — not once at the start. Frequent sanctions updates surface new potential matches against relationships already on the book, long after onboarding.
The problem
Aliases, transliterations, and similar names generate potential matches that each require analyst review to resolve. Teams need current sanctions data, enough context to resolve alerts, and a clear record of how each potential match was decided.
With ArgusComply
ArgusComply brings sanctions screening, AI-assisted adjudication, continuous monitoring, and decision records into one workflow.
