Both RDC and LSEG (fka Refinitiv) count screening “hits” in production environments as outlined below.
| Type | Screening Trigger | Counted as a New Screening Hit | Not Counted as a New Screening Hit |
|---|---|---|---|
| In-Request Screening | A party is screened for the first time within a request | X | |
| In-Request Screening | A party is re-screened within the same request or a subsequent request. | X | |
| In-Request Screening → Ongoing Screening | A party was already screened within a request and is then entered into Ongoing Screening. In this case, only the initial In-Request screen is counted. Subsequent “ongoing” screens are not counted. * | X | |
| Ad-Hoc | A party is screened using ad-hoc screening functionality. | X | |
| Ad-Hoc → Ongoing Screening | A party was already screened using ad-hoc screening functionality, and then entered into Ongoing Screening. In this case, only the initial ad-hoc screening is counted. Subsequent “ongoing” screens are not counted. * | X | |
| Bulk Screening | A party is screened using bulk screening functionality. | X | |
| Bulk Screening → Ongoing Screening | A party was already screened using bulk screening functionality, and then is entered into Ongoing Screening. In this case, only the initial bulk screening is counted. Subsequent “ongoing” screens are not counted. * | X |
*If Ongoing Screening is turned ON after a customer initially goes live, any previously screened party who is screened again as part of Ongoing Screening will be counted as a new hit. Subsequent “ongoing” screens are not counted.
Note: Screening hits in stage environments do not count. Test credentials are used in lower environments for both RDC and LSEG.
