But for our workflow, we like that no integrations are required and we can use it as a standalone platform for running AML/PEP checks. > > **Cons**: First, Middle, and Last names work well for Western names but Asian name formats are a bit different. Many East Asian names begin with the family/surname first, and then the given names after the family name. For example, "Tan Tock Seng" - in this example, the family name is Tan and the given name is Tock Seng. But in the Namescan format, it is unclear whether Tan should be input in the First or Last name section. It is also unclear whether Tock Seng should be input as the First name (based on the fact that it is a given name), or as the Middle and Last name (based on order). Many Asian names also incorporate Western names. For example: "Tan Tock Seng, Raymond Elliot". So the person would go by "Raymond Elliot Tan" if speaking with people who use Western name conventions, or "Tan Tock Seng" if speaking with people who use Asian name conventions. The "Original Script" option is not helpful in these instances because does not allow us to input the entire name (e.g. "Tan Tock Seng, Raymond Elliot") in Latin script. It only allows non-Latin script. > > Good, except for naming conventions ----- ### "Good and bad but the bad outweighs the good" — 1.0/5 > **Peppe** | *14 February 2024* | Legal Services | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: Decent and efficient system, can be used in a small company group > > **Cons**: Minimum purchase of 50 credits and they make them expire after only one year. They must be making more money from non-use than from use - sharp business model > > Bad business model, bad attitude, bad customer service - all letting down a decent service under the hood ----- ### "Name scan review" — 4.0/5 > **Privens** | *19 October 2023* | Insurance | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Best Scanning solution with a wide range of watchlists. > > **Cons**: Pricing and availability of the Team locally in order to integrate with the Software. ----- ### "Detailed PEP/SIP Scanning with Easy Integration" — 5.0/5 > **Shaun** | *25 September 2020* | Financial Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Integration was easy with well documented API. Both 'in house' and 'commercial' databases were detailed and provided valuable insights. The team are always accessible to provide support. > > **Cons**: Different databases required different API Versions. However, APIs were versioned and well documented so it was a simple change. > > NameScan has allowed us to solve our AML PEP/SIP requirements in a cost effective manner with simple implementation. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/364455/namescan?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/364455/namescan) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
