4.3 Investigating TF Cases

Transaction Filtering is a Sanctions screening system that identifies Individuals, entities, cities, countries, goods, ports, BICs, and Stop keywords that may be suspicious, restricted, or sanctioned in relation to a financial transaction that is processed through the TF application.

The application enables you to integrate with any clearing or payment system, accept messages from the source system, and scan them against different watch lists maintained within the application to identify any suspicious data present within the message. The TF application supports scanning of messaging systems that are SWIFT, ISO20022, and Fedwire.
