Expanded screening preset is designed for companies that want a broader AML screening scope with a lower risk appetite. This preset expands both data coverage and match logic to surface more potentially relevant results.

It screens all PEP classes (within the last five years), includes most sanctions and watchlists (excluding suspended sources), and adds comprehensive adverse-media categories. Matching rules are tuned to improve match rate, through controlled fuzziness, acronym support, and limited word omissions, while still filtering weak aliases, delisted entities, and outdated PEP records.

Categories and sources

This configuration covers the core AML categories with an emphasis on breadth, so it allows you to screen all PEP classes (classes 1–4) and includes officials who left office within the past 5 years. This preset also covers a wide set of adverse media categories:

Financial AML/СFT
Fraud-linked
Narcotics AML/СFT
Violence AML/СFT
Terrorism
Cybercrime
Regulatory
Other Serious

Sanctions and watchlists include most sources available (except any that are currently suspended by the provider) across global, regional, and local authorities.

Matching algorithm

Matching is configured to reduce false positives with entity-type filtering and removal of weak aliases/deceased profiles, and increase true positives via acronym matching and carefully-scoped word omissions.

It looks for a 40-50% match in the search term, depending on the region. Regional fuzziness thresholds:

EU & North America: 50% fuzziness
LATAM: 60% fuzziness
APAC: 60% fuzziness
Middle East & South Asia: 60% fuzziness
