Monitoring vs Single Check

AML monitoring performs a single check on an individual daily. The subject is scanned through various databases every 24 hours. This includes PEP, Sanctions, and Adverse Media screening.
It is possible to create monitoring from any previously completed AML check (either within the ID verification or a separate one in AML check). You can do this by clicking the Add Monitoring button at the bottom of the finding.

Creating AML Monitoring

This performs a single search for AML Records every day.

AML Monitoring tool

  1. Open your dashboard, open AML Verifications, and select AML Monitoring
  2. In the top right corner, press Start Monitoring

:identification_card: Pop-up window

  1. Type
  2. Person - performs an AML Check for a person
  3. Company - performs an AML Check for a registered business
  4. Data - Add user data to create monitoring. Nationality and full name are required, but additional information, such as date of birth and gender, improves search accuracy.
  5. Additional checkbox
  6. By default, Monitoring will always create PEPs & Sanctions checks, but you can turn on Adverse media.
  7. The default monitoring period is 365 days; you can renew this by subscribing to an extension. Each yearly extension will cost a credit.
All created AML monitoring entries use the filters and settings configured in the Environment AML Settings.
Adverse media monitoring only works in conjunction with an PEP and sanctions; it cannot be used as a standalone.

Results

Monitoring results are identical to a single check, so for more information, see AML Results

Statuses

AcceptedThe subject is successfully monitored and has no findings.
StoppedSetting the status to Stopped disables any further monitoring of the subject. This applies even when findings exist, provided the manager has verified those findings as valid before stopping the subject.
AlertThe monitoring subject has some findings that have not been reviewed by the manager. Therefore, if the subject is alerted, the ongoing monitoring is still working. However, when the alert status is displayed, managers can accept or stop that subject so the status will be changed to Stopped or accepted accordingly.
PendingOnce the subject is added to the AML monitoring list, the status pending is displayed until the first check. Therefore, usually, it takes up to 1 minute.
Untitled Diagram.drawio (5).png Every finding (hit) has the same details as in the AML checks information. The details depend on whether it’s a partner or company and whether the Adverse media is also monitored.  Furthermore, if the previous findings were accepted, the same findings(hits) will not be highlighted on further checks (whitelabelled). 
  • Status - managers are allowed to select whether a certain finding(hit) is a True positive or a False positive.
