FICO® TONBELLER® Siron® Embargo

Real-time transaction screening to prevent the financing of terrorism.

Product Details

To disrupt terrorist funding, Siron® Embargo screens transactions in real-time by matching sender and recipient data with sanction lists. Numerous national and international sanction lists are used, including:

  • US Department of the Treasury: Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC)
  • EU Common Foreign Security Policy (CFSP)
  • Her Majesty‘s Treasury (HMT)
  • United Nations 1267 Committee's Consolidated List

Transactions with alerts that are triggered by a match with an entry in a sanction list are "frozen" by the system. Transactions without alerts are released immediately and returned to the payment flow. The transaction screening system logs all checks, steps, and decisions for each suspicious activity in an audit-proof manner.

Increases accuracy while saving time and money

Minimizes false positives by utilizing sophisticated algorithms and reduces the compliance officer’s workload.

Stay compliant and safeguard the enterprise

Ensures compliance with international sanctions and the latest embargos in order to safeguard the enterprise.

Certified solution

SWIFT Certified Application label guarantees compliance with all SWIFT standards and connectivity with the SWIFT payment-transaction format.

Easily adaptable business rules in Siron® Embargo enable enterprises to design a thorough efficient transaction screening process based on individual requirements. These rules may be applied to threshold definitions or automatic predefined actions before and after verifying a sanction list. The transaction screening system uses advanced algorithms that detect inverted parts of names, abbreviations, substitutions, different notations or deletions.
