Transactions and Travel Rule settings

Set up the Transaction Monitoring solution for thorough screening and streamlined risk assessment.

Under Transaction Monitoring→ Settings, you can configure the following:

  • General — lets you adjust basic Transaction Monitoring settings, as described in this section.
  • Tags — lets you create and manage tags that can be used for dynamic risk scoring and other purposes, as described in this section.
  • AML Screening — lets you select the provider for AML watchlist checks and customize the search configuration for screening, as described in this section.

If your organization has the Travel Rule service enabled, you will also see two additional menu items:

  • Travel Rule — lets you configure your Travel Rule workflows to meet global and local regulatory requirements. For example, you can set confirmation timeouts for outgoing Travel Rule messages or specify which data will be shared with counterparty VASPs. For incoming transactions, you can configure wallet ownership verification and define how data comparison should be performed. The detailed guidance on configuring Travel Rule is provided in this article.
  • Integration Wizard — lets you streamline your onboarding to Sumsub’s Travel Rule solution. You can complete a guided questionnaire to share your organization’s needs, and we will generate a tailored step-by-step integration guide with relevant documentation links. The Integration Wizard is described in this article.
