Sanctions screening

Names rarely match exactly.

The same person is Müller on one list, Mueller on another and Muller on a third. Character-by-character comparison misses all three. Krino flattens the differences first, then compares.

Matching

After the name, not the spelling.

Accents and special letters

Characters like é ü ø ß æ ı ğ ş are reduced to their base forms. Cases that standard decomposition does not solve — Turkish dotless ı among them — are handled explicitly.

Name order and extras

Given-name order, middle names, titles and punctuation differences do not break a match. The comparison works over name parts.

Similarity threshold

Close-but-not-identical spellings are scored by similarity. You set the threshold — you are the only party who knows how many false alarms you can absorb.

Coverage

What gets screened?

Sanctions lists

Consolidated lists from the major sanctions regimes are gathered into one source and refreshed regularly. People and organisations go through the same screening.

Politically exposed persons

People who require heightened scrutiny because of public office are flagged as their own category. A PEP match is usually a reason to look, not a reason to decline — Krino lets you keep the two apart.

Your own lists

Internal deny lists, people you have previously caught, or a list shared by a partner all screen through the same mechanism.

Scheduled re-screening

Lists change; a customer who was clear yesterday may be listed today. Krino re-screens your existing customer base at an interval you choose and opens cases for new matches.

Afterwards

A match is a question, not a decision.

A name matching does not automatically decline the transaction. The match enters your rules as a signal; what happens next is up to you.

A match is found

Which list, which record and at what similarity — all recorded.

Rules weigh it

A sanctions match declines outright, a PEP match opens a review — as you configured it.

A case opens

Anything needing review lands in the team's queue with the matched record inside the file.

The outcome is recorded

False match or real — who decided, when and how, in the audit trail.
