Overview
Effective screening is more than checking a name against a list. Firms need accurate input data, precise matching, clear review workflows and evidence for every screening decision.
Experian Screening helps organisations screen individuals, businesses, UBOs and connected parties against 4,700+ lists and risk sources, including sanctions, PEPs, watchlists, relatives and close associates, adverse media and more.
Using leading datasets, Experian Screening brings together configurable matching, risk-based rules, data quality tools and workflow to help teams reduce avoidable alerts, review potential matches faster and act with confidence. Screening can support one-off checks, onboarding, remediation, portfolio monitoring and in-life customer review. Where required, it can also connect with identity verification, fraud signals, decisioning and CrossCore orchestration to support a fuller view of customer risk.
Protect your business, support compliance and focus action where risk genuinely needs attention, without adding unnecessary friction for good customers.
How Experian Screening works
Experian Screening is the first and only screening solution to employ meta-data improvement techniques to increase the accuracy of input data used as the source for screening.
This results in a reduction in false-positives by two-thirds compared to major competitors. Whether utilised onsite or as a SaaS solution with fully featured API, our screening solutions generate significant operational efficiencies whilst boosting your compliance performance.
