Facctum’s sanctions list management software helps banks ensure the accuracy, integrity, and timeliness of their sanctions data. Built for regulatory precision and operational efficiency, it centralises list governance, automates updates, and delivers consistent data across all screening systems. By maintaining a single, validated source of sanctions information, banks can reduce compliance risk and enhance decision-making transparency.

Why Effective Sanctions List Management Matters for Banks

Sanctions compliance depends on accurate, up-to-date data. Manual list handling and fragmented watchlist processes can lead to inconsistencies, delayed updates, and regulatory breaches. Modern financial institutions must maintain full oversight and auditability of how sanctions data is sourced, enriched, and applied across systems.

Facctum’s cloud-based list management software automates this process, ensuring sanctions lists are synchronised in real time and aligned with global regulatory sources such as the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) and European Banking Authority (EBA).

Key Challenges in Managing Sanctions Lists

Many banks still struggle with fragmented list governance, legacy systems, and inefficient manual processes. These challenges can result in false positives, missed matches, and compliance risk.

Manual Data Updates

Relying on manual imports and spreadsheets can create errors and slow response times when sanctions are updated. Automated list ingestion ensures every update is captured instantly and accurately.

Data Fragmentation Across Systems

When sanctions lists are managed separately across departments or platforms, inconsistencies can occur. Facctum centralises list management within a unified data governance framework.

Inconsistent Screening Outcomes

Disparate data sources lead to mismatched or duplicated entries. Integrated list governance ensures consistent results across Customer Screening, Payment Screening, and Alert Adjudication workflows.

Limited Transparency

Without full audit trails, proving regulatory compliance becomes difficult. Facctum embeds traceability into every update, making it simple to demonstrate data lineage and governance controls.
