5 Name and Address Matching

This section details the default configuration of Name and Address screening against sanctions lists or watch lists.

The matching strategy for entities in Oracle TBAML raises a possible match if there is an exact match or a fuzzy name match to a normal (non-acronym) entity name, or if there is an exact match to an acronym entity name. The fuzzy entity name matching algorithms include some of the following techniques:

• Standardizing entity names (for example, different forms of company name suffixes are standardized to a common form)
• Ignoring insignificant name tokens
• Typo tolerance
• Allowance for missing name tokens
• Allowance for different tokenization of the name
