Product Overview

The expansion of global watchlists and a tightening regulatory framework creates many challenges for organisations. The need to rapidly adhere to regulatory directives and updated watchlists across all business lines and territories can be burdensome and complex, with serious financial and reputational consequences for non-compliance. The adoption of Open Banking and instant payment schemes presents further screening complexity. The amount of false positive alerts adds to the challenge as it increases the cost of compliance and increases the risk of human error.

Leveraging the AI disciplines of Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Machine Learning, Pelican Secure Screening is a market-leading financial crime compliance solution for Enterprise Watchlist and Sanctions Screening. It delivers reputational protection across all payment processes and counterparties and is deployed on both a local and global basis by multiple large and small financial institutions to ensure risk mitigation and reduce cost to compliance.
