Reduce false positives with accurate matching techniques

Our advanced fuzzy matching algorithms handle common aliases, transliterations and misspellings, ensuring accurate results and minimizing the hassle of reviewing false positives.

Customize scoring mixes for specific data points

Prioritize the data points that matter most, fine-tuning the matching process to balance true and false positives and boost the overall effectiveness of screening.

Correctly identify names regardless of cultural differences

SAS Real-Time Watchlist Screening uses AI to predict the cultural origin of names across languages and alphabets, enabling culturally aware matching. This improves accuracy when detecting relevant matches for international clients.

Leverage as-a-service list management

Our advanced list management integrates seamlessly with your existing platforms through standardized REST APIs. This as-a-service offering is highly efficient, minimizes false positives and significantly reduces analyst workload, all while providing a comprehensive, user-friendly experience.

Key features

Combining AI-driven data matching with real-time decisioning, fast alert triage, case management and operational reporting – all on a cloud-native platform.

Data access, preparation & quality

Access, profile, cleanse and transform data with an intuitive interface that provides self-service data preparation capabilities and embedded artificial intelligence.

Four eyes review

Enhance decision making by having two sets of eyes review critical alerts. This approach reduces errors, ensures regulatory compliance, maintains a clear audit trail and boosts confidence among stakeholders, regulators, clients and internal teams​.

Composite scoring & parameter tuning

Assign composite scores using key risk indicators such as match confidence, transaction amount and country risk. Customize and adjust parameters with easy presets to fit your unique needs.

Allow list configuration that uses exceptions

Enforce your policies by granting access based on predefined criteria. This streamlines screening by quickly identifying entities to trust or flag, reducing the need for further analysis.

Private deny list configuration

Keep sensitive information confidential by using a temporary deny list with no trace. This lets you add specific entities not on public watchlists based on internal intelligence, industry needs or client requirements.

Author rules

Deploy rules quickly to respond to emerging threats using SAS coding or an easy drag-and-drop interface. Test thoroughly to ensure they align with your business goals.

Powerful, scalable, secure & accessible architecture
