  1. FAQ
  2. Name Matching

Can Screena match beyond names and allow firms to blacklist identifiers or locations?

Screena is more than just a pure name-matching tool. Our API revolves around three primary matching categories:

  1. Named-Entity Matching: This matches names of individuals, organizations, or vessels. It can also be combined with secondary attributes such as addresses, dates of birth, or nationalities.

  2. Identifier Matching: This is designed to match unique identifiers, such as passport numbers, BICs, LEIs, or digital currency identifiers.

  3. Geo Matching: This focuses on geographical data, encompassing countries, cities, towns, regions, and ports.

Firms can blacklist any of these elements using their own private lists or libraries.
