string
ID of the associated screening hit.

name_sensitivity
string
The valid name matching sensitivity configurations for a screening program. Note that while certain matching techniques may be more prevalent on less strict settings, all matching algorithms are enabled for every sensitivity.
coarse - See more potential matches. This sensitivity will see more broad phonetic matches across alphabets that make missing a potential hit very unlikely. This setting is noisier and will require more manual review.
balanced - A good default for most companies. This sensitivity is balanced to show high quality hits with reduced noise.
strict - Aggressive false positive reduction. This sensitivity will require names to be more similar than coarse and balanced settings, relying less on phonetics, while still accounting for character transpositions, missing tokens, and other common permutations.
exact - Matches must be nearly exact. This sensitivity will only show hits with exact or nearly exact name matches with only basic correction such as extraneous symbols and capitalization. This setting is generally not recommended unless you have a very specific use case.

Response fields and example

entity_watchlist_screening_hits
[object]
List of entity watchlist screening hits
id
string
ID of the associated entity screening hit.
review_status
string
The current state of review. All watchlist screening hits begin in a pending_review state but can be changed by creating a review. When a hit is in the pending_review state, it will always show the latest version of the watchlist data Plaid has available and be compared against the latest customer information saved in the watchlist screening. Once a hit has been marked as confirmed or dismissed it will no longer be updated so that the state is as it was when the review was first conducted.

Possible values: confirmed, pending_review, dismissed

nullable string
An ISO8601 formatted timestamp.

Response fields and example

id
string
ID of the associated entity program.
created_at
string
An ISO8601 formatted timestamp.

Format: date-time
is_rescanning_enabled
boolean
Indicator specifying whether the program is enabled and will perform daily rescans.
lists_enabled
[string]
Watchlists enabled for the associated program

Possible values: CA_CON, EU_CON, IZ_SOE, IZ_UNC, US_CAP, US_FSE, US_MBS, US_SDN, US_SSI, US_CMC, US_UVL, AU_CON, UK_HMC
name
string
A name for the entity program to define its purpose. For example, "High Risk Organizations" or "Applicants".

Min length: 1
Pattern: ^\S+(\s+\S+)*$
name_sensitivity
string
The valid name matching sensitivity configurations for a screening program. Note that while certain matching techniques may be more prevalent on less strict settings, all matching algorithms are enabled for every sensitivity.
coarse - See more potential matches. This sensitivity will see more broad phonetic matches across alphabets that make missing a potential hit very unlikely. This setting is noisier and will require more manual review.
balanced - A good default for most companies. This sensitivity is balanced to show high quality hits with reduced noise.
strict - Aggressive false positive reduction. This sensitivity will require names to be more similar than coarse and balanced settings, relying less on phonetics, while still accounting for character transpositions, missing tokens, and other common permutations.
exact - Matches must be nearly exact. This sensitivity will only show hits with exact or nearly exact name matches with only basic correction such as extraneous symbols and capitalization. This setting is generally not recommended unless you have a very specific use case.

Possible values: coarse, balanced, strict, exact
audit_trail
object
Information about the last change made to the parent object specifying what caused the change as well as when it occurred.
