Sanctions compliance isn’t optional – but spiralling costs and outdated technology are making it unsustainable.

From mounting regulatory pressure to soaring alert volumes and fragmented legacy systems, many financial institutions are rethinking their approach to name screening. While most compliance teams understand the urgent need for modernisation, securing business-wide buy-in remains a critical hurdle.
