Neterium Summer Series: The Evolution of Watchlist and Transaction Screening

Episode 1: Before the storm: How Watchlist Screening was born (1970–2001)

Narrated by Pascal Aerens, Co-Founder & CPO at Neterium

For our Summer Series, we began our journey into the evolution of watchlist and transaction screening by going back to where it all started.

In this first episode, we explore the origins of watchlist and sanctions screening, from manual checks and early sanctions lists to the historical and regulatory developments that laid the foundations for modern financial crime compliance. A look back at where screening began, and the challenges organisations faced before technology transformed the industry.
