Adverse Media Screening
How It Works
Anqa Adverse Media continuously ingests credible news sources, extracts named entities using NLP, scores each article for financial crime relevance, and alerts your team — automatically and in real time.
Automated Ingestion
Thousands of credible news sources monitored 24/7 via RSS, APIs, and web feeds
NLP Entity Extraction
Persons, organisations, and locations automatically extracted and linked to your customer database
Risk Scoring
Each article scored by category, severity, and relevance — money laundering, fraud, sanctions, and more
Watch Job Alerts
Set automated monitors for any name or entity — receive instant notifications when new adverse coverage appears
Evidence & Audit Trail
Secure snapshots of every article with full provenance — ready for regulator review and STR documentation
Built for Compliance, Not Just Search
Most adverse media tools are search engines. Anqa is a compliance workflow — ingestion, extraction, scoring, alerting, and evidence management in a single platform.
Continuous Source Monitoring
Reuters, BBC, regional news, government bulletins, and regulatory announcements — all ingested automatically and updated in real time. No manual searching. No missed stories.
NLP-Powered Entity Linking
Named entity recognition extracts persons, organisations, and locations from every article. Fuzzy matching links them to your customer and counterparty database — catching name variations and transliterations.
Automated Risk Scoring
Each article is scored across financial crime categories — money laundering, fraud, bribery, sanctions, terrorist financing — with configurable severity thresholds that match your risk appetite.
Watch Jobs & Instant Alerts
Create automated monitors for any client, PEP, or counterparty. Watch jobs run continuously and deliver webhook or email notifications the moment new adverse coverage is detected — no polling required.
Relationship Graph
Visual network mapping of entity relationships — see how persons, companies, and locations are connected across adverse media stories, supporting enhanced due diligence investigations.
Evidence Management
Secure snapshots of every article captured at time of alert — including full text, source metadata, and provenance chain. Exportable for STR documentation, audit files, and regulatory review.
