In their own words
FinScan
FinScan is an AML and sanctions-screening platform for organizations that need KYC checks, data quality controls, and precision matching. It screens sanctions, politically exposed persons, adverse media, payments, and watchlists. Before screening, its data-quality tools identify missing, inconsistent, or duplicate customer information. FinScan says its matching technology can reduce false positives by up to 80%. Deployment options include SaaS, on-premise, and hybrid setups. Processing supports real-time screening and batch work involving hundreds of millions of records. An open API can send results to web-services-enabled applications. Payment screening covers SWIFT, ISO 20022, SEPA, FedNow, Fedwire, ACH, and instant-payment flows. The product supports API access, batch screening, transaction screening, PEP screening, ongoing monitoring, and custom list management. Listed controls include AES-256 encryption at rest, TLS 1.3 in transit, role-based access control, and immutable audit logs. FinScan identifies banking, insurance, fintech, healthcare, real estate, wealth management, and government among its industries. It runs through API, self-hosted, and web platforms. Pricing is on request, with a demo required.
