      A La Carte Sanction Lists: Select Sanction List Configuration

      PaymentWorks now provides customers the ability to tailor sanction list monitoring by selecting specific sanction lists to be included in their configuration. This ensures customers only receive alerts relevant to the chosen lists.

      Sanction List Configuration Overview

      • PaymentWorks List of Lists: Customers can review the comprehensive list of sanction lists that PaymentWorks monitors and select those relevant to their needs.
      • Default Configuration: If no configuration is selected, all sanction lists from the PaymentWorks List of Lists will be monitored.
      • One Configuration Per Account: Each customer account has a single sanction list configuration applied universally.

      For New and Existing Customers

      • New Customers: Select a sanction list configuration during the implementation phase.
      • Existing Customers: Submit a change request to modify or select a sanction list configuration.

      Changing Sanction List Configuration

      Customers can request changes to their sanction list configuration. PaymentWorks ensures records are maintained for the sanction list configuration in effect at the time of submission:

      1. Current Sanction Alerts:

        • Vendor Profile: Displays alerts based on the most recent sanction list configuration.

      2. Historical Sanction Alerts:

        • New Vendor Registration (NVR): Reflects the configuration in effect at the time the NVR was submitted, even if still pending during the configuration change.
        • Update: Reflects the configuration in effect at the time the update was created, even if still pending during the configuration change.

      Impact of Configuration Changes

      To minimize disruptions:

      • No Retroactive Updates: Changes to sanction list configurations do not generate Updates for existing payees based on prior submissions.

        • For example:
          • Adding a new sanction list will not trigger an Update for payees already submitted.
          • Removing a sanction list will not trigger an Update to clear prior alerts.

      • Alert Availability: The most recent alert status for every payee remains accessible in the Vendor Profile.

      This flexible configuration allows customers to customize their monitoring while maintaining access to both current and historical sanction information.
