Built for fast-moving onboarding, payments, and product risk
Fintech teams need screening that fits product velocity without leaving compliance teams to manage disconnected alerts. Checklynx helps screen people, companies, identifiers, payment context, and counterparties at onboarding, transaction, review, and monitoring moments.
Check customers, business accounts, merchants, directors, UBOs, partners, agents, and identifiers before access, activation, or limit increases.
Screen beneficiaries, payout recipients, payment references, beneficiary or counterparty identifiers, counterparties, countries, and transaction context when risk appears.
Preserve source evidence, analyst rationale, notes, escalation history, decisions, timestamps, and case activity for compliance, partners, and audits.
Screening journey
From product event to documented decision
A signup, KYB application, payment trigger, beneficiary change, partner review, monitoring hit, or manual escalation becomes structured review work with source context and decision evidence attached.
| Stage | Screening context | Business outcome |
|---|---|---|
| Customer signup | Individual, company, director, UBO, tax ID, passport-style identifier, sanctions, PEP, adverse media, or watchlist context | Risk is checked before account activation or product access. |
| Business onboarding | Merchant, platform customer, vendor, agent, partner, beneficial owner, company identifier, and country context | KYB and counterparty exposure becomes visible before approval. |
| Payment or payout event | Beneficiary, payout recipient, payment reference, sender, receiver, country, and transaction context | Teams can review potential exposure before value moves. |
| Monitoring update | New sanctions listing, PEP change, adverse media event, or watchlist update | Previously approved users and businesses stay visible after onboarding. |
| Decision recorded | Case owner, rationale, source evidence, timestamps, escalation, and final outcome | The business can explain who decided what and why. |
Review efficiency
Reduce manual review load across fintech operations
Fintech screening should support fast products without turning every alert into a manual rebuild. Checklynx keeps screening results, source context, case notes, and monitoring history tied to the profile and event.
Review sanctions, PEP, adverse media, and watchlist context with customer, company, identifier, and product details in one place.
Screen beneficiaries, payout recipients, payment references, counterparties, and transaction context before release.
Check merchants, companies, directors, UBOs, vendors, agents, and partners during onboarding, refresh, or escalation.
Reuse prior decisions where appropriate so the same non-risk hit does not create repeated manual work.
| Trigger | Handoff | Business outcome |
|---|---|---|
| Potential sanctions hit | Case review with source context | Analysts can decide before account activation, payment release, or partner approval. |
| High-risk payment | Screening and case handoff | Operations can hold, review, or clear activity with evidence. |
| KYB refresh | Batch or monitoring run | Business customer and counterparty risk stays current. |
| Partner or audit request | Case evidence and immutable audit trail | Compliance can explain the decision record. |
