Frequently Asked Questions
About the Tool
Nexus is a sanctions transaction assessment platform designed to help compliance professionals, financial institutions, fintechs, and corporates assess sanctions exposure within cross-border transactions using a structured, defensible methodology.
Compliance teams, sanctions analysts, MLROs, legal teams, trade finance professionals, fintechs, payment providers, and corporates involved in international transactions.
No. Nexus is not a screening engine. It complements existing screening solutions by helping users assess sanctions risk, ownership and control considerations, jurisdictional exposure, and transaction complexity.
Screening identifies potential matches against sanctions lists. Nexus helps assess the broader sanctions risk of a transaction, including jurisdictional exposure, ownership and control considerations, transaction complexity, escalation requirements, and governance expectations. Many of the most challenging sanctions decisions occur after screening has been completed.
That FAQ alone clearly differentiates Nexus from screening vendors and positions it as a decision-support tool rather than another screening solution.
