How it works

Normalize, compare and let the officer decide.

Official lists are downloaded and normalized in the platform. Every client name is normalized the same way (case, accents, order) and compared with a similarity algorithm; matches above the threshold are shown to the compliance officer with the list record and the score, to confirm or dismiss. Matches on sanctions lists are treated as critical.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Frequently asked questions about Watchlist & PEP Screening

7 questions answered for this section
Verified Information · PLDUnity / BDUnity
Which Mexican and international watchlists are included in the screening engine?

PLDUnity consolidates and updates 7 official national and international watchlist sources weekly: (1) UN Security Council Sanctions, (2) US OFAC (SDN and Consolidated lists), (3) UK OFSI, (4) FBI Most Wanted, (5) SAT Article 69-B list (simulated operations), (6) SAT Unlocated Taxpayers, and (7) Politically Exposed Persons (domestic PEPs curated by BDUnity and OpenSanctions).

How do per-client queries, batch screening, and manual searches work?

You can run watchlist queries in three ways: (1) directly from an individual client file, (2) by running a batch screening across your active client roster, or (3) via a manual lookup by name, RFC, or CURP. Each of these actions consumes 1 query from your list package. When watchlist screening runs inside a remote identity verification link or cashier registration, it is already included in that verification and does not deduct a list query.

How does the platform handle typos, name variations, and false positives?

Our engine combines exact RFC/CURP matching with phonetic and fuzzy-matching algorithms that catch inverted surnames, missing accents, and spelling variations. Each hit displays a similarity score so your compliance officer can document false-positive dismissals or confirm true matches.

What happens when there is a confirmed match and how does it trigger a 24-hour notice?

Matches land in your alert queue showing the official source list, similarity score, and client record. If the compliance officer confirms the match or suspects illicit funds, one click opens an Unusual Transaction case to generate the mandatory 24-hour urgent notice for the SAT/UIF.

How are domestic and foreign PEPs handled when detected?

A PEP match automatically updates the client's score in the EBR risk engine (assigning automatic High Risk for foreign PEPs under Mexican regulations) and triggers the Enhanced Due Diligence workflow (source-of-funds questionnaire and senior management approval).

Does it produce tamper-evident proof for SAT inspections and external audits?

Yes. Every per-client, batch, and manual query is logged in an immutable audit trail with exact timestamp, user, watchlist version, and cryptographic hash, allowing you to export screening proof certificates during any regulatory inspection.

How much does each list query cost?

The 30-day Free Account includes 20 courtesy list queries. For any plan, you can purchase 12-month prepaid list query packages: Básico (100 queries for $350 + VAT / $406 with VAT; $3.50 each), Operativo (500 for $1,500 + VAT / $1,740 with VAT; $3.00 each), Empresarial (1,000 for $2,500 + VAT / $2,900 with VAT; $2.50 each), and Alto volumen (5,000 for $10,000 + VAT / $11,600 with VAT; $2.00 each).
