By Finscan, PRNEMonday, May 31, 2010
LONDON, June 2, 2010 - FinScan, a leading international provider of sanctions, PEP and
heightened risk screening solutions for the financial services industry,
today announced that Connection42, a premier South African provider of
advanced technical solutions, services and support, has become a
partner/reseller of its full line of screening products.
Headquartered in Johannesburg, South Africa, Connection42 provides
business, technical and architectural solutions to financial services
organisations, including many of the members of the Johannesburg Stock
Exchange (JSE). Its partnership with FinScan means Connection42 can now also
assist clients in complying with the screening requirements of international
anti-money laundering and anti-terrorism regulations.
Used in thousands of projects worldwide, FinScan's powerful matching
engine facilitates the efficient and accurate screening of large volumes of
records with very precise, user-configurable rules for flagging suspicious
records. This process greatly reduces the risk associated with missing real
matches (false negatives), and minimises the time and cost associated with
researching false matches (false positives).
"We're very pleased to partner with FinScan in offering our clients this
easy-to-use, world-class suspect screening capability," said Selwyn Batista,
CEO Connection42. "FinScan is a natural complement to our portfolio of
services and enables us to assist our clients in meeting their compliance
needs."
Deployable as a licensed, hosted or Internet-based ad hoc solution,
FinScan provides robust, cost- effective screening for organisations of
virtually any size - from those performing only individual look-ups to those
screening millions of records at a time. In addition, to assist organisations
that do not have the internal expertise or IT resources to efficiently comply
with the full anti-money laundering and anti-terrorism mandates of the
international regulations, all FinScan solutions also offer a complete
compliance package that includes sanctions list management and updating
services, as well as automatic production of the audit and due diligence
reports that the mandates require.
