complead today announced that Candex, the US based fintech master vendor that lets companies engage, track and pay for any good or service, has selected complead for name screening and ongoing monitoring. Candex screens names against sanctions, PEP and watchlists when a relationship starts, and keeps every screened name under continuous rescreening, so its compliance checks stay current long after onboarding.
Candex works in 50+ countries. Companies trade through it without setting up every supplier as a new vendor, which puts the compliance checks for those relationships on Candex, every day and at scale.
“complead has a user friendly interface and delivers screening results at high speed. Because the interface is simple and clear, our team adopted it quickly and uses it effectively every day, and ongoing monitoring keeps our checks current as the lists change,” said Laura Otterpohl, Compliance Manager at Candex.
What Candex runs on complead
Candex uses two complead products on complead Fusion, the engine of complead’s AI native platform for AML, KYC and fraud:
- Name screening: every name is checked against 3,500+ sanctions, PEP and watchlists from 220+ jurisdictions, refreshed every 15 minutes
- Ongoing monitoring: every screened name is rescreened continuously against that same data, so a new designation or a change to a listed record raises a review within minutes instead of at the next periodic check
- One record per name, with every match, review and decision logged for audit
Built for US compliance programs
Under OFAC rules, U.S. persons are generally prohibited from dealing with the individuals and entities on the SDN List, and that duty does not stop at onboarding. complead serves US customers through its US entity, and its continuous rescreening means a name that becomes sanctioned after onboarding is flagged without waiting for the next review cycle. For a master vendor that pays suppliers in 50+ countries, that turns compliance from a one time check into a continuous control.
“Candex lets companies pay any supplier quickly, and that only works when compliance keeps pace with every payment. With name screening and ongoing monitoring on complead, every name Candex works with is checked when the relationship starts and watched after that, so compliance is continuous rather than a single moment. We are proud to support the Candex team.”
