MOZN's AI-Powered Screening Solution Wins 2026 Datos Impact Award for Best Sanctions & Watchlist Screening Innovation Globally

Riyadh, Saudi Arabia September 14, 2026 – MOZN, a global leader in enterprise AI for high-assurance domains, today announced that Datos Insights has recognized MOZN the winner of the 2026 Datos Impact Award for Best Sanctions & Watchlist Screening Innovation. The recognition highlights MOZN’s role in modernizing sanctions screening for financial institutions through AI-powered name matching that handles complex Arabic names while accurately supporting Latin scripts, thus reducing compliance friction.

MOZN’s Customer Screening is powered by a patented bilingual AI model built to address the linguistic complexity of Arabic names and their variations. By processing entity fields alongside their contextual information, its specialized NLP transformer enables more accurate screening during onboarding and ongoing review. An Agentic AI investigation layer then turns screening results into clear, decision-ready intelligence for compliance teams.

Financial institutions using MOZN Customer Screening have achieved an 85% reduction in false positives and resolved cases 70% faster, reducing manual investigation workloads and enabling compliance teams to focus on genuine risk. The solution can also be deployed on-premises or in-country without requiring additional infrastructure, supporting institutions with demanding security and data-residency requirements.

“Our vision is to equip organizations with intelligence that helps them stay ahead of evolving financial crime risks. Legacy screening models struggle when names and context become complex. MOZN takes a fundamentally different approach, combining purpose-built bilingual AI with contextual intelligence to distinguish genuine risk from noise. The Datos Impact Award for Best Sanctions & Watchlist Screening Innovation recognizes the strength of our screening solution and the measurable impact it delivers for financial institutions,” said Malik Alyousef, Co-Founder and Deputy CEO of MOZN.

The recognition strengthens MOZN’s position as an enterprise AI leader solving high-assurance financial crime challenges where accuracy, explainability, and trust are essential. It also demonstrates the measurable impact of MOZN’s approach for financial institutions navigating increasingly complex compliance requirements.
