What Our Clients Say About Us

*Reviews sourced from Capterra

Kwinten B.

Software Engineer

Namescan is an excellent choice for small fin-tech start-ups, where paying the large up-front signup fee of other AML solution providers can be less interesting.

Yunaisy C.

Administrator

Great experience! It is a user-friendly interface. The dedicated team responds quickly and efficiently to any question we may have.

Danuta S.

Compliance Analyst

I like how the search is narrowed. It is sensitive to include full names and also first and last name (unlike other providers | tested too). Well done.

Queenie T.

Excellent service who considers startups low scan volume needs. User friendly dashboard.

Batch scanning allows you to upload a batch file including a bulk of names, which can be scanned simultaneously. This is an efficient way of performing your scanning and is effective for users that wish to re-scan their entire client base multiple times throughout the year. Batch files can be uploaded in a CSV or XML format.
