The workbench shows what was screened today, what is pending review, high-risk alerts still open, and what has been cleared or dispositioned. Each alert lists the subject company and its Companies House number, the watchlist it was checked against, the match result, priority, status, stage and assignee. Possible matches are flagged for analyst review, so your team spends its time on the alerts that matter. Filter by subject, alert ID or watchlist, assign alerts across the team, and keep an auditable record of how every alert was resolved. ![Screening workbench alert queue with match results, priority and assignee](https://placehold.co/2000x1433/021B41/00D1A9/png?text=Image+placeholder) ## Frequently Asked Questions ###### What is KYC and AML screening for companies? KYC and AML screening checks a corporate client or counterparty against sanctions lists, adverse media and other watchlists before and during a business relationship. Combined with checks on the company's directors and beneficial owners, it helps firms meet their anti-money laundering obligations and avoid dealing with sanctioned or high-risk entities. ###### Which watchlists does Probe Digital screen against? Probe Digital screens UK companies against the UK HMT sanctions list, the OFAC SDN list and the UN Consolidated list, as well as adverse media and the UK tax defaulters list. More lists are being added. ###### What happens when screening finds a possible match? The result is logged as an alert and marked as a possible match requiring analyst review. It sits in the pending review queue, where you can set its priority, assign it to an analyst, track its stage, and record how it was cleared or dispositioned. ###### Can I check a client's directors and owners as well as the company? Yes. Alongside watchlist screening, Probe Digital shows each director's ECCTA 2023 identity verification status and traces PSCs and ultimate beneficial owners through corporate layers, so your onboarding file covers the company, the people who run it and the people who own it. ###### How does Probe Digital support KYB and corporate onboarding? For each UK company you get its profile and filing history, directors and their verification status, beneficial ownership and PSC data, registered charges and County Court Judgments, plus screening results, all drawn from Companies House and other authoritative UK sources. ###### Can I work through screening alerts as a team? Yes. The screening workbench lets you filter alerts by subject, alert ID or watchlist, assign them across analysts, and track each one from pending review to resolution, giving managers a live view of what is screened, pending, high-risk and resolved. ##### Get Access Today ## Start Screening Your Corporate Clients Create an account to screen UK companies against sanctions, adverse media and tax defaulter lists, and verify their directors and beneficial owners in the same workflow.
