Financial crime

Screening that keeps up with the lists.

Sanctions lists and ownership records change during the day. Calseda screens the customers each change touches as soon as it arrives, and gives the reason for every match. Nobody waits for tonight's run.

What you can't see today

What changed since last night's screening run.

Changes between runs

A list update at 09:47 waits for tonight's batch. So does a change in who owns a company.

Links across sources

A sanctioned owner may appear under a different name in a company registry and in your customer records.

Why something matched

An alert that says "possible match" without the evidence sends an analyst back to search by hand.

The cost of doing it again

Screening the whole book takes hours, so it can't run every time something changes.

What you'd see instead

At 09:47 a company joins a sanctions list.

Today

  1. 09:47

    A company is added to a sanctions list.

  2. All day

    Customers it owns or controls keep transacting. The screening run is tonight.

  3. Overnight

    The batch flags the customers linked to the company, among thousands of other possible matches.

  4. Next day

    Analysts start on the matches. Someone asks why the customers were not stopped yesterday.

With Calseda

  1. 09:47

    The list changes. Only the customers it touches are screened again, not the whole book.

  2. 09:48

    Each customer linked to the company is flagged, with the reason: the ownership record that links them to the listed company, and how the names were matched.

  3. 09:48

    The alert reaches the financial crime team's queue, already explained.

  4. 09:55

    An analyst reviews each match with its evidence in front of them, the same morning.

An example with simulated data.

Only what changed

A list change or an ownership change screens again the customers it touches, straight away.

Every match with its reason

Which list entry matched, and which records linked it to the customer.

Your matching engine, kept live

Your team's matching rules, or the screening engine you already use, run each time the data changes. Calseda feeds them and keeps the reason with each result.

Into the queue you use

Matches reach the team's ticketing system or its chat as changes happen through the day.

See it in a demo

A customer book screened against the real US sanctions list.

In a demo, 20 simulated customers are screened against the US Treasury's SDN list, which is real. When a new edition is published, the customers it touches are screened again. Add a name as if it were listed, and any customer with that name matches at once.

From a demo running on public data: customers screened against the US Treasury's real sanctions list. The bank and its customers are simulated, except two that carry the names of real listed entities. An exact match by name stands in for your screening engine.

What changes for your team

Matches arrive through the day, with the evidence attached.

No overnight pile

Matches arrive as changes happen, instead of in one pile each morning. Each shows why it was raised, so review time goes on judgement, not on searching.

Rules your team owns

Your team sets thresholds and who is told. Each change is checked, and logged with who posted it.

What your regulator or auditor gets

Proof that a list change took effect, and how quickly.

  • For every match, the list entry and the records that linked it to the customer, with where each came from and when it arrived.
  • How long a list change took to reach the screening results, measured as it happens.
  • A flag on any result that rests on a list or a record older than its source should allow.
  • Every change to thresholds or rules logged with who posted it, and when.

How it starts

With one list, next to the screening you run today.

  1. Pick one list

    For example, one sanctions list against one customer book.

  2. Connect the data you already have

    The list and your customer and ownership records, read from where they already arrive. Nothing is replaced.

  3. Write the matching rule

    Your developers, or ours, write it with your financial crime team. Calseda does the rest.

  4. Run it side by side

    It runs alongside the overnight screening, so your team can compare the two before relying on it.
