Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed for implementing data matching techniques. In some embodiments, methods and systems may be implemented for filtering a received record associated with at least one record attribute against an entity record. The methods and systems comprise, for example, applying a record attribute weight to the at least one record attribute associated with the received record, performing at least one matching technique that compares the at least one record attribute of the received record against the entity record, wherein the at least one matching technique is associated with a corresponding matching technique multiplier, calculating a matching score based on a result of the at least one matching technique and the multiplier associated with the at least one matching technique, and comparing the matching score to a threshold to determine whether the received record represents a suspect entity.
