Payment Screening

Screen every payment before it moves

Screen transactions in real time against sanctions and watchlists — including international ACH (IAT) — so prohibited payments are stopped before they settle.

Solution Pillars

Screen inline, without slowing payments down

Check every party and payment in real time, cover cross-border flows, and keep false hits low with accept lists and match tuning.

Real-Time Screening

Stop payments at the moment of movement

Real-time transaction screening checks parties and payments against sanctions and watchlists inline, with low latency.

Cross-Border Coverage

Purpose-built for IAT

International ACH (IAT) screening covers cross-border payment flows and the parties involved.

Accept lists and match tuning

Accept-list controls and match tuning suppress known-good matches to cut false positives without missing true risk.
