Product Details

What is NameScan?

NameScan is an integrated all-in-one platform offering Anti Money Laundering and Counter Terrorism Financing services. NameScan specialises in PEP and Sanction screening, to support onboarding customers for compliance.

The Sapphire level of service, Sapphire Checks, utilises Acuris Risk Intelligence's Database (C6 Intelligence Database) of PEP and Sanctions which is updated daily. This database contains over 1.4 Million PEP profiles, 1.2 Million Sanction profiles and 400,000 adverse media links.

The Emerald level of service, Emerald Checks, utilises NameScan's Proprietary Database, consisting of consolidated global PEP lists and Sanction profiles that have been collected from the government and other official sources of information which are publicly available on the internet. These lists are updated on a daily basis and the vendor states they work continuously to find and add new profiles each day.

NameScan also offers free services: users may check for Politically Exposed Persons (PEP) and Sanctions, to detect potential customers who may expose a business to greater risk than might be expected, or whether or not various individuals are facing sanctions that may legally restrict them from certain activities.

In recent years, our University has increasingly become an international environment. Consequently, it becomes increasingly common at the administrative level to verify the identity of those who have to enroll in courses, participate in competitions or discuss Master's or Doctoral theses. Consequently, NameScan helps us to verify the identity of these people.
  • NameScan works well automated and allows information integration in different analysis steps.
  • NameScan works well in integration with other identity verification or plagiarism checker software.
  • It is easy to use, accessible and can be adapted to specific needs.
  • The software still generates confusion, especially in the case of Asian names, often repetitive or similar to each other. In this case, the information it returns is not very accurate.
  • The numerous integrative databases that can be purchased are really very expensive.
  • NameScan is graphically unintuitive.
In our specific case, NameScan is an interesting piece of software for administratively verifying the identity of those who have to enroll in courses or discuss a Thesis. The fact that NameScan can be integrated with other software (anti-plagiarism, for example, Turnitin) guarantees greater use efficiency. In this case, the integrated verification of identity and possible plagiarism helps us significantly limit fraud.
  • Verify identities and any criminal records.
  • Quick and easy to perform checks against a wide range of sanctions or false identities.
  • In addition to those mentioned, there are no other features of interest to us.
  • It allowed us to limit the admission of non-welcome people to the University.
  • It has allowed us to limit the number of frauds in the context of thesis discussions, especially doctoral ones.
  • NameScan has become fundamental in our university's internalisation to verify, in particular, people arriving from countries at risk.
Based on the information from other university colleagues, it seems that NameScan is a more reliable and complete software than others of the same category. However, as already mentioned in another answer, the software NameScan remains a little weak in verifying the identity of people from states where names are frequently repeated.
