US Patent 9852427 Systems and methods for sanction screening

In some examples, a computerized sanction screening system may include an automated system for collection of sanction information, and a routine for analyzing additional available data related to sanction information entities. The system may also include an automated analysis summary routine for creating condensed information subsets or graphlets containing relevant information about sanction entities, some of which can be entities themselves, organized in a data retrieval system, such that an automated transaction system can check data from transactions and automatically identify and flag potentially sanctioned transactions. Then upon exceeding a preset contextual limit, a potential blocking warning is issued.
