This listing has one pricing dimension: 30,000 annual transactions. You commit to a set annual volume of screening transactions under a contract. Each transaction screens a payment against sanctions and PEP (Politically Exposed Persons) databases. Pricing is based on the number of transactions you screen over the year, not on individual features. All screening capabilities come with this single volume-based unit. Because there is only one dimension, your cost is tied directly to the annual transaction count you purchase.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What counts as one screening transaction against my 30,000 annual allowance?
Each payment you screen counts as one transaction. Screening checks the sender, receiver, and intermediary banks, BIC codes, and reference text against sanctions and PEP databases. A single payment with multiple parties and BIC hits still counts as one transaction toward your annual volume.
What payment types can I screen under this transaction allowance?
You can screen common payment schemes, including bank transfers and immediate payment services. Screening covers counterparty names, customer names, institution names, BIC codes, and reference text. You can also screen against your own custom blocklists of individuals or legal entities.
What data does each transaction screen against, and how current is it?
Each transaction screens against global sanctions lists and PEP (Politically Exposed Persons) data. Sanctions lists refresh within minutes of publication, so you screen against current data. PEP records update daily. This currency applies to every transaction in your annual allowance.

Hawk's Payment Screening software helps you block sanctioned and high-risk transactions in real time, across every payment rail, through a single API. Detection AI screens each payment as it happens without slowing legitimate payments down. Contextual AI infers missing data, like a counterparty's gender or entity type, to resolve ambiguous hits accurately. This cuts false positive payment holds without weakening your defenses. In a client's independent SWIFT test, Hawk caught 8 points more sanctions risk than their incumbent system, with 27 points less noise. One payments provider cut transactions wrongly blocked due to false positive sanctions risk by 55%. Agentic AI extends this further. Hawk's Screening Review Agent researches hits across public and internal sources. It recommends or completes disposition steps for your team to review. You configure fuzzy matching and list logic yourself, self-serve, and test changes in a live sandbox before going live.

Great UI/UX and Fast Clearing with Unified Sanctions Hits
Reviewed on Oct 15, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
The UI/UX is great. I like that you can clear using CA because it’s connected to our internal system, so it’s not just a reference. I also like that the sanctions lists are merged into a single hit. On top of that, the clearing process is fast.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not much to say overall. Sometimes there are delays, which can be frustrating. I also don’t like that some hits show addresses in the details, but on the main interface the hit summary doesn’t display the country.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It definitely solves our sanctions-clearing task, and it also makes our work more efficient overall.

I have downtime about once every week, and we had a major one two months ago.

I use ComplyAdvantage to match PEP and sanctioned users. It has updated lists and matches users whenever I need it.

Fast, Reliable Risk Intelligence for Sanctions and Adverse Media Screening
Reviewed on Jul 22, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
We've had a very positive experience using ComplyAdvantage for sanctions and adverse media screening. The platform provides extensive risk intelligence, and the quality of its screening data helps us to identify potential risks quickly and confidently. Response times are fast, and ongoing monitoring has significantly reduced the amount of manual work required in our onboarding and review processes.
What do you dislike about the product?
The main area for improvement is the initial implementation and configuration process, which could be smoother and more straightforward. I’d also welcome more flexibility in reporting and in how dashboards can be customized. Finally, having greater confidence that false positives aren’t occurring would improve my overall perception of the product.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
ComplyAdvantage helps us address several key compliance and financial crime risks, including sanctions screening and adverse media checks. In the past, these activities required significant manual effort, which often led to inconsistent reviews and slower supplier onboarding. With ComplyAdvantage, these processes are centralised and supported by real-time risk intelligence, allowing us to identify potential compliance concerns far more efficiently and with greater consistency.

Streamlined Supplier Due Diligence with Fast, Auditable Screening
Reviewed on Jul 22, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
What I like most about ComplyAdvantage is how it streamlines sanctions, PEP, and adverse media screening through an intuitive, cloud-based platform. It enables a more efficient and consistent approach to supplier due diligence, helping us meet compliance requirements without adding unnecessary administrative burden.
The platform is straightforward to navigate, screening results come back quickly, and the risk-based approach helps us focus on suppliers that genuinely require closer review. I also find the ability to maintain an auditable record of screening activities especially valuable for demonstrating compliance with institutional policies and governance requirements. Overall, it supports more informed procurement decisions while improving the efficiency and transparency of our supplier onboarding process.
What do you dislike about the product?
While ComplyAdvantage is generally easy to use, some screening results require manual review to distinguish genuine risks from false positives. It would also be helpful to have more flexible reporting and dashboard customisation to better support procurement monitoring and internal stakeholder reporting. Aside from these minor improvements, the platform meets our supplier due diligence requirements well.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
ComplyAdvantage helps us manage supplier due diligence more efficiently by automating sanctions, PEP, and adverse media screening. This reduces the time spent on manual checks, supports compliance with university procurement and governance requirements, and provides a clear audit trail for decision-making. As a result, supplier onboarding is faster, compliance risks are better managed, and procurement staff can focus on higher-value activities.
