Configure AML screening

Screen your applicants against AML databases and a blocklist of 1,000,000+ known fraudsters.

To set up the AML screening process:

  1. Open the AML Screening settings and choose a provider that you want to use for AML screening. If the provider is locked, enter your credentials, as described in Comply advantage and World-check one
  2. Select a search configuration. You can search by warning types or by providing a search profile identifier:
    • When searching by warning types, specify the categories of PEPs for which you want to screen your applicants and add the associated types of adverse media.
    • When searching by custom search profiles, enter a profile identifier. To search for profiles from your Comply Advantage key, make sure to provide the key, as described in this article.
  3. Configure name matching criteria.
  4. Enable Ongoing AML Monitoring to be informed on any changes in sanctions and watchlists concerning your applicants. This feature is available at an additional cost. Contact your Customer Success Manager or our Business Support team to learn more.
  5. Use Ongoing AML Monitoring to keep an eye on applicant profiles after the initial check has been completed. If an issue is detected, the applicant will be rejected. You can also instruct the system to automatically assign applicants to compliance officers for a manual review and monitor applicants for an unlimited period of time.
  6. Save your changes.

Note

If you approve rejected applicant profiles manually, it may cause incorrect functioning of AML Screening within these profiles. To initiate the AML check for the manually approved applicants again, you can go as follows:

  1. Ensure that AML Screening is enabled in the level settings—select a verification level and go to the AML Screening tab.
  2. Go to the applicant profile and click Request check to conduct AML Screening for this profile. Alternatively, you can run a new AML check via this API method.
  3. Enable Ongoing AML monitoring via the chat in the Dashboard to catch the updates and configure the Ongoing AML Screening settings for particular verification levels if needed.
