PEP screening software
PEP screening should help analysts understand whether a customer, UBO, beneficiary, or related party has current or former political exposure. Checklynx keeps public role, jurisdiction, relationship type, sanctions and adverse-media context, and review evidence close to the decision.
Screen for prominent public functions across domestic, foreign, and international-organisation contexts, with role, jurisdiction, and position history close to the review.
Surface family members and related close associates so indirect political exposure is visible during onboarding and monitoring.
Keep former public roles, relationship changes, and customer-risk review triggers visible so teams can apply policy without reworking evidence manually.
A PEP result should show more than a name. Checklynx keeps profile details, source labels, relationship context, sanctions and adverse-media signals, and review outcomes together so compliance teams can decide whether EDD or monitoring is required.
One synthetic profile, source references, relationship context, and risk signals in the current review.
Explains why the exploratory result may be relevant, while matching and final assessment remain reviewer-controlled.
Public role, jurisdiction, aliases, source labels, and relationship evidence stay attached to the result.
Family members, close associates, role changes, and customer-risk implications stay visible for enhanced due diligence.
Smart matching technology
PEP screening depends on names that appear in many formats, scripts, and source systems. Checklynx helps handle real-world variation while keeping reviewer decisions separate from the matching step.
Catch names that sound alike even when source records use different spellings or local conventions.
Support non-Latin names, accent differences, reversed word order, and common data-entry variations.
Represent names and aliases across scripts so reviewers can compare the result against source records.
Account for titles, abbreviated names, and short forms while keeping the reviewer in control.
