Introducing Instant Search: Free, Unlimited AML/CTF Search Engine across Global Watchlists

We’re excited to have launched Instant Search today, our brand-new search engine that performs free, unlimited AML/CTF checks of sanctioned Individuals, Organizations, and Vessels, as well as PEPs (Politically Exposed Persons) and most wanted fugitives. It is available online from now on at search.screena.ai.

Screena AI at Your Fingertips

Instant Search is built on top of Screena API to give compliance professionals a way of quickly searching the name of a person against a large collection of public watchlists.

As we are on a mission to make innovative technologies available to as many people as possible, we have decided to offer free access to Instant Search. No search limit, no login required. To us, this is the best way to experience what Screena is all about.

Accurate

Our screening engine comes with an arsenal of advanced algorithms crafted to tackle the most complex challenges relating to name matching. It goes way beyond the basic fuzzy matching logic. Just give it a try. Unlike many screening solutions on the market, Screena will understand and detect that “LC Air Company Kyrgyztransavia” is the same organization as “Kyrgyz Trans Avia”, and that “Agha Sayed Ghia Souddine” is the same individual as “Sayyed Ghiassouddine Agha”.

Instant Search Match

If Screena is primarily designed to miss fewer matches, it also returns fewer false positives. And this to a significant order of magnitude. How is that possible? It’s thanks to our powerful supervised machine learning models running behind the scenes to filter out the bad noise that naturally comes with high recall.

Blazing Fast

Accuracy should however never be at the cost of speed. Screena’s greatest achievement is to combine high-quality matching with cutting-edge performance. Instant Search will give you a perfect flavor as it truly matches as you type. Most of the time, you will get the right results displayed on your screen way before you finish entering a name in the search bar. We aim to bring that very Google experience to the world of name screening. Instant Search is a brilliant embodiment of our vision.

Match as you Type

Relevant

Instant Search has been designed to elevate Screena API to new heights by delivering the most convenient and relevant user experience. It means that results are sorted in a way that really makes sense for humans. What matters first is presented first. Every result also comes with the matching score computed by Screena along with how the searched and returned names have been processed by our engine. On top of it, it is possible to quickly filter the search results by level of risk (Sanctions, PEPs, Wanted), by list, or by type of entity (Individual, Organization, Vessel). You get all the tools to quickly understand Screena’s results and make fast informed decisions.
