What problems is Pascal solving and how is that benefiting you?

Our organization uses the Pascal screening tool as part of its onboarding platform. The tool supports the systematic KYC screening of all prospects and their related parties, including UBOs, directors, shareholders, and other stakeholders, against relevant international and national sanctions lists.

Effectiveness and Efficiency

The Pascal tool provides a structured and traceable approach to sanctions screening, enabling:

Comprehensive and ongoing coverage of applicable sanctions lists.

Documentation of all potential matches, including their assessment, outcome, and rationale for any decisions taken.

Maintenance of a clear audit trail, supporting both internal oversight and external review.

The tool is also designed to operate efficiently in a high-volume environment. Its use of calibrated matching logic helps reduce the number of false positives, allowing compliance teams to focus on alerts that are more likely to be relevant. This contributes to a more targeted, risk-based handling of screening results.

Embedding in Compliance Practice

The tool is integrated into our know your client, client due diligence screening and monitoring processes and is aligned with recognized good practices for sanctions and KYC /CDD compliance. It supports consistent decision-making and ensures that screening results can be reviewed, escalated, and, if necessary, reported in a timely and controlled manner.

Overall, the Pascal screening tool strengthens our ability to uphold the integrity during our onboarding process and meet the compliance expectations associated with (sanctions) legislation and good industry practice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Uncomplicated yet powerful system"

5/5

What do you like best about Pascal?

The Pascal Screening is intuitive, provides a cautious approach to screening with the ability to quickly and accurately review possible results. And the integration with Hubspot CRM makes for a powerful and efficient business tool to drive 1st line compliance and 2nd line review of compliance. The reports are detailed and neatly presented. The monitoring function adds the dimension of constant risk management. I was fortunate to trial run with the Onboarding module and similarly was a powerful and intuitive tool, linking up with the ability to Screen individuals and organisations from the Onboarding forms, which you can fully modify to your business requirements.

"Wonderful system, constantly improving"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Pascal?

Pascal makes KYC easy, and is effective in identifying adverse hits. the interface is very clean and easy to navigate. You can set up e-mail updates for fresh hits at a desirable frequency.

the best part of Pascal is probably the amazing team behind it, who are always happy to engage in discussions about how to utilise it efficiently, and who take the time to consider and often implement any suggestions users have. During our time using Pascal we have seen the platform evolve, often in direct response to our feedback. Every update makes Pascal better and better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pascal?

There are a lot of false positive hits, and sometimes it feels like the system is stretching a bit to look for hits matching names, often showing hits with little or no relevance. Thankfully sifting through the hits is a swift task thanks to the filter system, but I'm sure this is something the Pascal developers will improve in future updates. A way to specify terms that are usually related to false hits would be useful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Screening persons and organizations was never that easy"

4/5

What do you like best about Pascal?

Pascal offers both a platform and an API to meet multiple needs. Having a choice is nice, just as it is nice that calls via the API can be simulated in the platform, which in some cases works better for having an overall picture. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pascal?

In principle, this is not directly related to Pascal, but it remains a hassle to "play" with the matching percentages and the weighting per characteristic used. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Pascal?

Continued monitoring feature and several options to link your cases to clients very flexible to work with and you can see the source of the information. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pascal?

Some names may get you several false positive hits in media sources, such as names which are the same as a city, but more hits are safer then no hits. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
