When cross-border payments screening generates an alert on a sanctioned individual or entity, performing due diligence on payers and payees is key to avoid the risks surrounding non-compliance with sanctions regulations. Resolving an alert, and finding evidence to confirm the named parties in the payment message are not those named on the sanctions list, is complex when limited information is available, and often involves correspondent banks.
To comply with regulations, sanctions alerts must be investigated immediately and either reported, or payments released and processed. Holding payments whilst investigating false positives can lead to customer dissatisfaction and lost revenue.
