Our new survey report reveals that screening delays are common across APAC, with high false positives standing out as the biggest challenge and notable differences between markets. Real time access to sanctions and risk data is viewed as essential, though many financial organisations still face budget or resource hurdles to wider adoption. Institutions also see AI and workflow automation as key to improving screening, while still valuing human oversight.

Key findings include:

  • 80% of financial institutions in APAC experience screening‑related onboarding or payment delays at least occasionally.
  • 97% of respondents in the region say real‑time access to sanctions and risk data is important, with 55% calling it very important.
  • 54% of respondents cite avoiding outdated data as the top benefit of real‑time access, while 52% say budget and resource constraints are the biggest barriers to adoption.
