FBI and Interpol Watchlists

FBI's Most Wanted & Fugitives

The FBI's Most Wanted list is maintained by the FBI and publicly available on their website. Removal from the list typically occurs only upon capture, death, or dropped charges.

Interpol Red Notices

A Red Notice serves as a global appeal to law enforcement for the provisional arrest of an individual pending extradition or similar legal actions. Red Notices are published by INTERPOL at the request of a member country and must comply with INTERPOL's Constitution and Rules. They are not international arrest warrants.

Smart Matching Technology

Our name matching technology leverages NLP and Machine Learning to overcome challenges in AML and sanctions screening, including diverse name phenomena and transliteration issues in non-Latin languages.

  • Industry-leading name matching technology based on latest research in AI and Natural Language Processing (NLP)

  • Covers transliteration issues, nicknames, spelling errors, honorifics, and many more 'real-world' matching challenges

  • Significantly reducing false positives while making sure no real matches slip through the cracks

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is sanctions and AML compliance relevant for my business?

If you are from a high-risk sector where anti-money laundering (AML) and know-your-customer (KYC) regulations are legally required, then compliance is necessary for doing business.
‍

Even for non-regulated companies, adopting AML screening processes has become standard practice. Why? It minimizes the risk of involvement with illicit actors and underscores ethical behavior, aiding the fight against money laundering.
‍

Sanctions compliance is a legal requirement in most countries in the Western economic system. Failing to comply may lead to legal issues and significant monetary penalties.
