Screen everyone. Surface the one that matters.

What every party is checked against

Four lists, one verdict.

KYB and KYC resolve who the parties are — screening decides whether any of them is someone you can't onboard.

Global lists are table stakes. We go local.

The big global lists catch the obvious. The real risk often sits in a national PEP register or a state-level debarment list a global-only screen never touches. For every jurisdiction you operate in, Detekta screens down to country and state level.

The real problem

A name match isn't a hit.

"John Silva" matches a sanctions list a thousand times — and 999 are the wrong John. Name-only screening buries your team in false positives. Detekta scores every match against the full context — date of birth, country, entity type, identifiers — and AI clears the ones that obviously aren't your customer.

You review the matches that are actually plausible. Not the noise.

Adverse media · AI

Read by AI, across thousands of sources.

A keyword search over a handful of feeds misses the article that matters and floods you with the ones that don't. Detekta's AI reads thousands of sources — global wires, regional press, court records, registries — in dozens of languages, resolves whether the story is actually about your party, and scores it for relevance and recency.

You get the few hits that are real, with the entity match already confirmed — not a pile of same-name noise.

PEP, done right

Not everyone political is high-risk.

A head of state and a municipal clerk shouldn't trigger the same workflow. Detekta tiers PEPs so your EDD effort lands where the risk actually is.

Tier 1 · highest

Senior figures

Heads of state, ministers, senior judiciary, central bank, military — and their immediate family.

Tier 2 · elevated

Officials & SOEs

Mid-level officials, state-owned-enterprise executives, regional leaders, close associates.

Tier 3 · standard

Local & minor

Municipal and minor public roles — monitored, but without forcing full enhanced due diligence.

Counterparty screening

Every party. Every leg.

A spotless customer can still pay a sanctioned one. Detekta screens every party on every transaction — payer, payee and each intermediary — against global and local lists, and re-consults as those lists change. A hit anywhere on the chain lifts the transaction's score.
