Frequently Asked Questions
How does a watchlist screening solution work against global watchlists and sanctions lists?
Feedzai uses Neterium’s API to screen customer and transactional data against Sanctions, PEPs, and Adverse Media lists. Beyond fuzzy name matching, the algorithm uses additional data points for a confidence score. Potential matches trigger alerts in Feedzai Case Manager for analyst review. Screening frequency varies based on customer risk policy.
What data sources are supported in Feedzai’s watchlist screening solution?
Customer Screening: Acuris, Dow Jones, Worldcheck (Refinitiv/LSEG)
Payment Screening: Acuris, Dow Jones, Worldcheck (Refinitiv/LSEG), Kharon & SWIFT (their sanctions lists)
Can the screening engine adapt to new or updated watchlist entries in real time?
Feedzai employs a “pull” system, initiating calls to data vendors. Sanctions data, carrying the highest risk, updates roughly twice daily. Adverse media is refreshed every 24-48 hours. Vendor SLAs vary, reflecting the different risk levels of the data provided.
Does Feedzai provide audit trails or reporting for regulators?
Yes, a full audit trail is available through the Feedzai platform to show when a record was screened, against which data lists, and whether any matches were returned or not.
