AML Check — Quick Guide

Use this form to create a new AML (Anti-Money Laundering) check for a person or company. It screens your subject against selected datasets such as Sanctions, PEPs, and others.

1. Enter Subject Details

Fill in the identifying information for the person or company you want to screen.
  • Full name — required.
  • Client ID — optional internal reference.
  • Date of birth / Gender — helps narrow results.
  • Address or nationality — adds context and reduces false matches.
Make sure all required fields are completed before continuing.

2. Apply Filters

Fine-tune your search by selecting which datasets and parameters to use.
  • Datasets — select what to check (e.g., PEP, Sanction, Adverse Media).
  • Matching threshold — sets how closely the results must match.
  • PEP status — include current, former, or linked PEPs.
  • Sanctions status — include current or former sanctions.
  • Sanction databases — specify or exclude certain lists if needed.
Adjust these filters depending on your screening requirements.

3. Create or Discard

Once all required information is filled in:
  • Click Create to start the AML check.
  • Click Discard to cancel.
If the “Create” button is disabled, review the form and complete any missing fields. image-20251015-135815.png After submission, the system returns a list of potential matches. Review each one to confirm whether it refers to your subject.
