Limiting Screening Results by Name + Country
Written by Michelle Henley
Updated at May 10th, 2024
Screening results returned through either RDC or Refinitiv can be limited by Name only or by Name and the Country of the screened party.
If the Name and Country feature is enabled, instead of receiving results for all countries, returned results are filtered based on the country sent to the screening provider.
In this example, the country for the screened party is the United States.
The returned results are only for the US.
Results by Name only: If a tenant has a screening configuration that excludes country (only name) then only the name of the party is sent to the screening provider for any screening type: Ad Hoc Screening, Bulk Screening, Ongoing Screening, and/or In-Request Screening.
Results by Name + Country: If a tenant has a screening configuration that includes name and country then both the name and country of the party is sent to the screening provider for any screening type: Ad Hoc Screening, Bulk Screening, Ongoing Screening, and/or In-Request Screening.
What if the party doesn't have a country? If the screened party doesn’t have a country (either from Master Data or the BRQ) then only the name is sent to the screening provider. Returned results will include all countries. This includes Ad Hoc Screening, Bulk Screening, Ongoing Screening, and/or In-Request Screening.
RDC Configuration
For non-global search (by name and country) RDC ignores the country attribute for some high risk codes: FOF, FOS, IRC*, MLA, TER, SNX*, WLT.
Refinitiv Configuration
If configured for name and country, for Individuals, results are filtered based on the Nationality country. Displayed results only include matches where the Nationality country matches the party’s country.
If configured for name and country, for Organizations, results based on the Registration Country. Displayed results only include matches where the Registration Country of the matched profile is the same as the registration country of the party.
