Frequently Asked Questions

What are sanctions, PEP and adverse media screening?

ic-plus icon

Sanctions screening checks whether a person or company appears on government or international sanctions lists, such as OFAC SDN, the EU and UK lists and other international watchlists, in line with FATF-aligned compliance requirements. These lists name individuals and entities with whom business transactions are prohibited or severely restricted. PEP screening checks whether someone is a politically exposed person (PEP), or a close relative or associate of one, who may carry a higher risk of corruption and bribery. Adverse media screening looks for negative news, such as fraud or corruption reports. Together they form name screening.

Which parties does Vestlane screen?

ic-plus icon

Vestlane screens on every level. First, every counterparty your fund has a business relationship with: investors, LP transfer buyers, portfolio companies, co-investment partners. Second, every relevant person associated with each counterparty, such as beneficial owners, authorised representatives and signatories.

How often does Vestlane re-screen?

ic-plus icon

Every party is screened at onboarding and then re-screened daily for as long as the relationship lasts. New sanctions entries, PEP status changes or adverse media reports are picked up in the next daily run.

What happens when there is a potential match?

ic-plus icon

Vestlane flags a potential match and shows it to your reviewer next to the party's data. The reviewer confirms or dismisses it with a reason, and everything is recorded in the case file with date and reviewer.

Is screening fully automated?

ic-plus icon

No. Vestlane runs the screening automatically, but whether a potential match is a real match is decided by a person on your team. Every decision is recorded, so you can show your MLRO and auditors who decided what, and why.

What is the difference between screening and KYC refresh?

ic-plus icon

Screening checks and monitors whether a party appears on a sanctions list, as a PEP or in adverse media. KYC refresh keeps the KYC file up to date: expired documents and periodic reviews based on the assigned risk assessment. Vestlane covers both, and they feed the same case file.

What lists and jurisdictions does screening cover?

ic-plus icon

Vestlane screens against global datasources, which cover sanctions lists such as OFAC, the UN, UK HM Treasury, the EU and Australia’s DFAT, plus sanctions lists from more than 60 further jurisdictions. It also covers regulatory warnings, fitness and probity lists, politically exposed persons (PEPs) and their relatives and close associates, and adverse media.

Screening together with your KYC/AML workflow

Name screening runs in the same platform as your onboarding and KYC/AML workflows, so every result lands in the right case. Need extra help? Our AML Services team can review potential matches for your MLRO.
