Why Sanctions Screening Matters

Sanctions Screening is essential for any organisation processing cross-border or high-value payments.

Financial institutions and corporates alike are required to comply with global Anti-Money Laundering (AML) regulations and financial crime directives. Without automated checks, businesses risk:

  • Costly financial penalties and regulatory breaches
  • Fraud and error exposure in global payment flows
  • Reputational harm and disrupted supplier relationships

With AccessPay, you gain a scalable, automated Sanctions Screening solution built for modern finance and treasury teams.

"We’ve always wanted a double check feature from third party software, to help us with our regulations and compliance. We wanted to incorporate something that properly checks that we’re paying the correct people. This is now possible with AccessPay."

How does Sanctions Screening work?

Real-time checks safeguard payments before processing
