Reviewing matches
A check can find an exact or similar name, but you still need to confirm whether it belongs to the same person or company. Make it clear whose name you are checking and why.
Review similar names before making a decision
Good screening practice
The same name can be written in different ways. A check can find an exact or similar name, but you still need to confirm whether it belongs to the same person or company.
A high similarity score does not prove that sanctions apply. Compare other available details, such as a date of birth, nationality or company registration number.
Record how each person is connected to your customer
How LexaScan approaches this
A name might belong to your customer, an owner, a person who ultimately owns or controls the business, or a representative. Make it clear whose name you are checking and why.
One person may have several roles. Keep enough information to connect each result to the right customer and role.
