Screening hasn't kept pace with the risk.

The FATF grey list is behind South Africa — the scrutiny that ended it isn't. The screening engines most teams inherited were never built to defend it.

update

Lists move. Tools lag.

Watchlists refresh constantly. A screening tool that batch-updates weekly misses what a regulator can see today.

False positives drown ops.

When every PEP namesake triggers a review, the genuine match disappears under the noise. Risk slips through.

The Contactable platform

One platform. Your rules. Your audit trail.

AML screening lives inside the wider Contactable platform — connected to onboarding, business verification, fraud signals and ongoing identity journeys. One integration, one audit trail.

  • Configurable thresholds: Set fuzzy-match tolerance, risk bands and watchlist scope by sector and customer type.
  • Audit by design: Every match, decision and override timestamped and logged — ready for FIC or regulator review.
  • Ongoing monitoring: Customers re-screened against fresh watchlists daily — not one-off at onboarding.

The Contactable platform

Four screening layers. One decision.

PEP, enforcement, sanctioned and adverse media screening — South Africa and global lists, surfaced and scored in one flow.

PEP Screening

Politically exposed persons, in context.

Identify politically exposed persons in South Africa and globally — including relatives and close associates — at account opening and on ongoing review.

  • Domestic & foreign PEPs: Screen against current and former office-holders across jurisdictions, not just a domestic list.
  • RCAs included: Relatives and close associates are surfaced alongside the principal — the relationships FICA expects you to see.
  • Risk-banded review: Each match carries a confidence band so analysts triage genuine PEPs ahead of namesakes.

Questions?

The questions compliance teams ask before they trust an AML platform with decisions that need to hold up at audit.

A politically exposed person (PEP) holds a prominent public or political role that carries elevated AML risk. Under SA's FICA, accountable institutions must identify domestic and foreign PEPs — plus relatives and close associates.

Yes. Politically exposed person screening fires at account opening alongside sanctions screening and adverse media — checking the customer, directors and beneficial owners before the relationship is approved. Customers then move into ongoing monitoring, re-screened daily.

Configurable fuzzy-match thresholds, risk-banded screening and whitelist learning. Compliance teams set the tolerance per customer type and the platform reduces namesake noise without losing genuine matches.

UBO is a separate capability. AML screening checks individuals and entities against watchlists. Ultimate Beneficial Ownership maps who ultimately owns or controls a business across legal structures — orchestrated via Dominion. Find out more about our product Dominion UBO.
