Beyond the Name: Name Screening Challenges in the MENA Region

This April we had an insightful webinar revolving around the topic of: “Beyond the Name: Name Screening Challenges in the MENA and APAC Region,” where the speakers explored the complexities of AML compliance in regions like MENA and APAC with diverse languages, cultures, and regulations. Hosted by Onnagh Van Den Berg, and featuring expert speakers Nader Timani from Mena and Nitin Parmar from Singapore.
Further, we addressed the critical challenges in name screening, focusing on issues like transliteration discrepancies, name variations, and false positives. We’ll also discuss the impact of PEP screening, the challenges of interpreting sanction lists in MENA and APAC, and how AML screening tools are helping financial institutions balance compliance with business growth.
Key takeaways include understanding how AI and machine learning are transforming name screening for AML compliance, the importance of real-time data for accurate risk assessment, and how regulatory frameworks are evolving to manage emerging risks.
