    The History of Sanctions Screening - Part 3

    Over this Summer Series we've traced how sanctions screening came to be — from its origins in the 1970s, through its industrialisation after 9/11, and now into the present day. This is the third and final episode: Reinventing Screening, the Era of Intelligence, from 2014 to today. Narrated, as ever, by Pascal Aerens. Sanctions now change daily. Payments settle in seconds. And financial crime networks adapt just as fast. The Russia-Ukraine war put all of that to the test, with thousands of new designations arriving at unprecedented speed. But this episode is about more than volumes: screening is no longer a matter of matching names. Ownership, control, relationships and transaction networks now decide whether a transaction can be a risk — and artificial intelligence is beginning to change what's possible, without displacing human judgement. The lesson from five decades of this story is a simple one. The future of screening is better intelligence, not more alerts. Music credits: "A Few Jumps Away" by Arthur Vyncke

    The History of Sanctions Screening - Part 2

    Our Summer Series traces how sanctions screening in financial institutions came to be, from the 1970s to the present day. Part two is The Industrialisation of Screening: From 9/11 to the First Ukraine Crisis in 2014, again narrated by Pascal Aerens. After 9/11, screening moved to the heart of the global financial system. Banks adopted continuous monitoring. Sanctions regimes widened, and so did the demands of know-your-customer and politically exposed person checks. But scale brought a new problem: a flood of false positives, and the growing difficulty of separating genuine risk from noise. Sanctions themselves also became more dynamic — and legacy platforms began to strain under real-time payments, constantly shifting lists, and ever-larger datasets.

    What is KYT and how does it change the Regtech technology landscape?

    In this episode, we listen to a conversation between Pascal Aerens and Chrisol Correia, Both of them have been working in Financial Crime Compliance technology for 20 years. In this conversation, they reflect on the recent rise in interest for KYT ("Know Your Transaction"), a detection technique where technology is used to detect suspicious transactions, with no other data source than the content of the transactions themselves. They discuss how AI, and more specifically Natural Language Processing (or NLP) are making it possible to extract information from transactions in real-time (which is so important as the world migrates to instant payments) and how programs can actually find persons and entities details in financial transactions that remain, even today, very badly structured.
