This seems somewhat pointless - surely anyone trying to tranfer fudns to a terrorist organisation would not use its real name. I'd also expect quite a lot of false positives if they're simply flagging all transactions containing the word "ISIS", and not just from jokes. Isis is also the name of the river flowing through Oxford, and hence a part of the name of many legitimate entities with a connection to the surrounding area. Within the unviersity of Oxford, the technology transfer office is "ISIS innovations", and the men's reserve boat race crew is called Isis. There's an ISIS neutron source at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory. It also appears in the name of branches of larger organisations (eg. the "Rotary Club of Oxford Isis" and "Oxford Isis Toastmasters"), plus various private businesses (including Isis security and the Isis guest house).
