Where it fits

The first control in your financial-crime program

Screening is the gateway between an applicant and your institution. RegNovaIQ enforces it at onboarding, refreshes it continuously, and re-runs it on every payment so a sanctioned party or high-risk PEP is caught before exposure — not after.

Onboarding

Automated KYC checks, beneficial-owner screening, and risk tiering at account creation, with hard stops for confirmed list matches.

Payment screening

Real-time sanctions enforcement for payments, transfers, and crypto flows before settlement, with configurable block-and-review handling.

Perpetual KYC

Continuous re-screening on list updates, profile changes, and scheduled refresh cycles so risk is re-evaluated as the world changes.

Data sources

Curated sources with governance controls

Ingest government lists, internal watchlists, and third-party feeds with configurable access modes, taxonomy normalization, and data-quality checks — so coverage is broad without being noisy.

OFAC / UN / EU / UK PEP registries Internal risk lists Adverse media feeds Beneficial-ownership data

Explainable matching

Every screening alert carries similarity evidence, matched attributes, and decision reasoning so analysts can review quickly and regulators can audit later.

Entity resolution

Name, alias, and transliteration normalization across sources, with graph embeddings that match on relationships, not just strings.

Risk scoring

Configurable match scoring with confidence bands and tunable thresholds per list and customer segment.

Audit trails

An evidence ledger captures every decision, override, and approval for the lifetime of the relationship.

Capabilities in depth

Built to cut false positives without missing true risk

Graph entity resolution

Graph neural network embeddings resolve aliases, transliterations, and ownership structures so a hidden connection to a listed party is surfaced, not buried.

Graph Intelligence

Streaming screening

A continuous, event-driven screening pipeline replaces batch queues, so new customers and list changes are evaluated in near real time.

Real-Time

Adverse media & PEP

Adverse media and politically-exposed-person enrichment attaches context and source evidence to each match for faster, defensible adjudication.

Enrichment

Configurable thresholds

Tune matching sensitivity per list, jurisdiction, and customer tier, with explainable scoring that documents why a threshold fired.

Policy Control

Perpetual KYC

Profiles are re-screened automatically on list updates and scheduled refreshes, so a customer that becomes risky is re-flagged without manual review.

Continuous

Evidence ledger

Every alert, disposition, and override is recorded with chain-of-custody, producing regulator-ready evidence packs on demand.

Auditability
Engines behind it

Powered by the platform's shared intelligence layer

Screening draws on the same engines that run across every RegNovaIQ product, so a single resolved entity and a single risk view follow a customer through onboarding, monitoring, and investigation.

AURA — unified risk assessment ORACLE — compliance logic GAIA — policy-as-code governance

Regulatory alignment

Screening workflows are designed to support FATF guidance and major sanctions regimes, with confidence intervals and documented reasoning rather than opaque binary flags.
