Batch Screening vs Real-Time Point Screening

The key differences

Key Differences between Batch Screening and Real-Time Point Screening

Difference between ad-hoc and batch screening


Why Screening is important for compliance 

Screening customers against Politically Exposed Persons (PEPs), sanctions lists (such as the OFAC in the U.S. and OFSI in the UK), and adverse media is critical for fraud prevention and regulatory compliance. It is mandated part of FATF recommendations, the EU’s AMLD and other global AML frameworks.  

Automated batch screening allows organisations to efficiently process a large volume of customers, ensuring compliance for periodic reviews. In comparison, real-time point screening offers flexibility to assess individual customers in real time, which supports risk-based decision making and investigations into suspicious activity.
