Configuration details for Moody's Grid

Moody's Grid is a data provider you can use to run these checks:

PEPs and sanctions screening

You have the following configuration options:

  • Ignore historical matches: When this option is selected, Maxsight removes any matches that Moody's Grid previously listed as politically exposed or sanctioned but are not on any current lists.

  • Enable ongoing monitoring: When this option is selected, any time a new match is discovered by Moody's Grid, the check’s task is marked incomplete, and, if the entity’s assessment is passed, it’s put into review. When this option is deselected, new matches are only returned from Moody's Grid when a user runs the check manually or, if your policy specifies, when a new task version is added to the assessment. Learn more about monitored assessments.

    When ongoing monitoring is enabled, any new matches are updated and displayed in Maxsight as soon as Moody's Grid sends them.

  • Send Nationality as Country of Address when no address is available: When the individual does not have an address, the country of nationality is sent as the country of address.

  • Name settings for Maxsight false positives reduction: This is one of three required options contributing to Maxsight’s false positive reduction service. It determines how Maxsight treats results returned by Moody's Grid when a result’s name does not match the name on the entity. The value for the option must be one of the following: Allow any matches , Allow close or exact matches or Allow exact matches.

  • Date of birth settings for Maxsight false positives reduction: This is one of three required options contributing to Maxsight’s false positive reduction service.

    If the entity doesn’t have a date of birth, for example, the field was left blank, date of birth is not used as a factor in identifying false positives.

Moody's Grid does not return nationality, so the Nationality settings for false positive reduction configuration option cannot be used for the false positive reduction service.

To turn off Maxsight’s false positive reduction service, set the Name settings for false positive reduction, Date of birth settings for false positive reduction, and Nationality settings for false positive reduction options to Allow any matches.
