Your First Step to Trust

Names carry histories, affiliations, and potential risk. Name screening is the first confirmation that a customer’s past does not affect the relationship you’re about to begin. Citadel365’s name screening software screens names at onboarding and throughout the lifecycle, surfacing relevant sanctions, PEP, and adverse media matches without delaying decisions.

Mapping Names with the Global Lists

Screening is the part and parcel of the customer onboarding procedure, which goes through the following steps:

Collection of Key Details

Citadel365 begins the screening process with the information that is brought to the table. The key inputs include an individual’s name, date of birth, nationality, and identification document, while for entities, the company name, country of incorporation and other corporate details are included. These essentials give us a context of who we are looking at.

Automated Matching

Once data is captured, Citadel365 runs automated screening through KYC6, comparing profiles against global sanctions, PEP, and adverse media sources. Matching rules are configurable. You have the control to set the matching threshold, where our software uses fuzzy logic and transliterations.

Screening Results Generation

Our name screening software displays the screening outcomes based on the matches found in line with the configured matching threshold. Citadel365 works through multiple datasets in parallel, reducing the effort needed to understand what triggered a match and why.

Review of the Results

The final stage requires human oversight. The compliance officer conducts a thorough review of the findings before releasing the results. Citadel365 ensures that compliance officers have access to customer information updated in line with the most recent watchlist changes and automatically monitors onboarded customers through continuous screening.

Compliance Starts with a Name

They say, “Truth is in the details”, and Citadel365 helps you explore the hidden truth behind your customers’ identities.

Continuous Vigilance Is Wiser

Risk does not freeze at the moment someone enrols. People move, relationships shift, and histories evolve. Scan the customers at the doorway and perform routine checks on both individuals and corporations. We allow customisation of the frequency of periodical screening.

Evidence Is Irresistible

Citadel365 allows users to export reports over specific time periods, track whether screening was performed on schedule and download records in Excel or directly from KYC6 with timestamps and screening outcomes.

The Clever Keeps Pace

Citadel365’s sanctions engine operates in real time, surfacing new matches the moment they appear. Any alerts triggered during ongoing monitoring are highlighted automatically. Screening coverage is built around multiple datasets to reflect organisations’ specific obligations, jurisdictions, and risk appetite.

What a Better Name Screening Software Makes Possible

As volumes rise and identities grow more complex, the tasks shift more towards managing the noise. Here’s how our name screening software breaks the pattern, dealing with familiar inefficiencies:

A Pattern We See

Investigation time is spent clearing legitimate customers.

Oftentimes, an innocent customer is red-flagged because systems often treat every similarity as a threat. Citadel365 allows you to adjust the thresholds and match logic, helping you filter out the false positives, saving time and resources.

PEP exposure checks remain fragmented and manual.

PEP identification is not an archaeological dig. Citadel365 classifies individuals by status, geography, and relationships, making it easier to understand who carries influence.

Name variations constantly trigger false matches.

Names shift across languages, alphabets, and cultures, and systems that rely on exact matches fall into blind spots. Citadel365 recognises variations, transliterations, and phonetic similarities, covering relevant matches without flooding teams with irrelevant ones.

Screening tools drive unnecessary manual reviews.

Risk profiles differ by industry, jurisdiction, and business model, yet typical platforms force everyone into the same template. Citadel365 provides a configurable screening datasets option that lets you choose the match type and adjust the screening level.

FAQs about Name Screening Software

Citadel365 performs screening during onboarding and periodically. However, the frequency of periodical screening for existing customers is determined by using the screening settings. The platform also performs rescreening with the updated data sources.

Our screening solution supports multiple datasets, which involve PEP and adverse media data. We identify former and current PEPs, classified into tiers and their associates and list their geographic areas. The platform also demonstrates individuals with negative news to reduce ML/FT risks.

Yes, Citadel365 checks both individuals and legal entities against global sanctions watchlists, PEP database, and adverse media datasets. Our screening solution allows separate checks for individuals and legal entities.

Yes, we allow configurations for thresholds to identify close or partial matches. Citadel365 helps you detect names with alternate spellings, regional differences or transliteration variances across languages to filter out false positives and reduce the risk of missing out on legitimate results.
