## Screen every customer before they're approved.

Verified people and businesses are screened against watchlists as part of the verification. Possible matches never auto-approve: they go to your reviewers with the details side by side.

## What it does

- **People and businesses**: Individuals and companies are screened as part of the verification, not as a separate step for your team.
- **Matches go to review**: Any possible match routes the case to a reviewer, with the reasons recorded.
- **Risk flags**: High-risk nationality is flagged, and customers declare PEP and US-person status in the flow.
- **On the record**: Results stay attached to the case and its audit log.

## FAQ

### Who is screened?

Verified individuals and businesses, as part of the verification itself, so your team doesn't run a separate step.

### What happens on a possible match?

The case never approves automatically: it goes to a reviewer with the details side by side and the reasons recorded.

### Can we screen names outside a verification?

Yes. The screening API takes search criteria directly, which is how some customers screen beneficiaries and counterparties from their own tools.
