  1. FAQ
  2. Performance

What is the speed of screening?

Screena cloud-native API is built for infinite scalability using the elastic capabilities of cloud computing.

Our basic cloud infrastructure is sized to process at least 500 transactions per second against global watchlists. For customers that require bigger capacities, we can scale on demand and process 10,000 searches per second. For premium customers managing millions of name records, we can upsize our cloud infrastructure to reach close to 100,000 searches per second for use cases requiring such performance levels.

Before agreeing to specific service levels, we work with our clients to put performance requirements in context – including data provisioning, business operations and financial costs.
