AML Monitoring

Monitoring vs. Single Check

AML Monitoring performs a recurring daily check on a subject — scanning them against PEP, Sanctions, and Adverse Media databases every 24 hours for as long as monitoring is active. A single AML check runs once and returns results immediately.

You can also start monitoring directly from any completed AML check result (within an ID verification or a standalone AML check) by clicking Add Monitoring at the bottom of the finding.

Creating AML Monitoring

There are two ways to start monitoring a subject.

From the AML Monitoring List

Navigate to AML Verifications → AML Monitoring and click New Monitoring in the top right corner.

AML Monitoring list with New Monitoring button

A pop-up window will appear. Fill in the subject’s details:

From a Verification Window

Open any ID verification, then click View AML in the toolbar at the bottom of the page. A dropdown appears with two options:

Add to monitoring — opens the monitoring creation pop-up pre-filled with the subject’s details from the verification
Check AML — runs a one-time AML check instead

Using Add to monitoring from a verification is the fastest way to enrol a verified subject — their name, nationality, and date of birth are carried over automatically.

Fields

Field	Required	Description
Type	Yes	`Person` or `Company`
Full name / Company name	Yes	For persons, enter the full name as a single combined field
Date of birth	No	Persons only. Improves match accuracy by narrowing results to the correct age range
Nationality / Country	No	Improves screening accuracy by filtering results to the relevant jurisdiction
Gender	No	Persons only. `Male`, `Female`, or `Other`
AML Tags	No	Up to 5 custom tags (max 100 characters each) for filtering and organising the monitoring list. Configured in AML Settings
Auto monitoring extension	No	Extends the 365-day monitoring period automatically each year. Enabled by default — each renewal costs one credit

All monitoring entries use the AML matching thresholds, filters, and dataset configuration set in your AML Settings. These cannot be adjusted per-entry at creation time.

Adverse Media monitoring cannot be enabled on its own — it requires PEP & Sanctions screening to be active on your contract.

Filtering the Monitoring List

The monitoring list has two tabs — Person and Company — to switch between individual and business records. If a subject is not visible, confirm you are on the correct tab. Use the sort dropdown to order results:

Option	Description
Check date newest / oldest	Order by when the monitoring record was created
AML check date newest / oldest	Order by the last PEP & Sanctions screening run
Adverse media check date newest / oldest	Order by the last adverse media screening run

Monitoring Results

Opening a monitoring record shows three sections: the search parameters the record was created with, the current monitoring status, and all matched profiles (findings).

Search Parameters

Displays the subject details and screening configuration used for this monitoring record. The top row shows:

Full name — the monitored subject’s name
Address or nationality — country code used in screening
Date of birth — if provided at creation

Expand the row to see the full configuration:

Field	Description
Matching threshold	Minimum similarity score used (e.g. 95%)
Birth year range	DOB range applied to narrow results
PEP tier	Which PEP tiers were included (Tier 1, 2, 3)
PEP status	PEP CURRENT, PEP FORMER, PEP LINKED
Sanctions status	SAN CURRENT, SAN FORMER
Datasets	Screening databases included (e.g. PEP, SAN, RRE)
Sanction databases	Any sanction lists excluded from screening

Monitoring Status

Summarises the current state of the monitoring record:

Column	Description
Review status	`Flags found` if at least one unresolved match exists; `Clear` otherwise
Monitoring ID	Unique identifier for this monitoring record
Client ID	Your internal reference, set at creation
Status set by	The user who last changed the status
Status set at	When the status was last changed
Comment	Optional review note
AML tags	Tags assigned to this record for filtering
Check date	The date of the most recent update to the finding (e.g., new evidence or changes to sanctions).
Expiration date	When monitoring expires (365 days from creation unless auto-renewed)

Found Matches

Each matched profile row shows the following columns:

Column	Description
Full name	Matched entity’s name, with alias match shown as a badge if applicable
Date of birth	Matched entity’s date of birth
Address or nationality	Country associated with the matched profile
Datasets	Which screening databases flagged this profile (e.g. `SAN CURRENT`, `POI`)
Match score	Confidence score (0–100) for the name match
Status	Set to True positive or False positive to review the finding
Comment	Add an internal note to the finding
Delete	Permanently hide the profile from this monitoring record (see below)

Each monitoring entry displays up to 30 findings.

Clicking a matched profile row opens the full profile viewer. See AML Profiles for a description of all tabs and fields.

Reviewing and Resolving Findings

True positive — confirms the finding as a genuine match. The monitoring record stays in Alert until all findings are resolved. False positive — marks the finding as not relevant to the monitored subject. The finding is hidden from view. However, if the screening provider updates the underlying record (detectable by a changed update date), the profile may reappear on the next daily check — marking as False Positive is not permanent suppression. Delete (trash icon) — permanently removes the profile from this monitoring record. The profile ID is added to the record’s hidden list and filtered out on every subsequent daily check, even if the screening provider updates the record. Use this when the profile is definitively not the monitored subject.

If you added a subject to monitoring from an AML check, any findings you already resolved in that check are carried over automatically. Only new findings detected after monitoring started require review.

Resolving findings does not automatically change the monitoring status from Alert to Active. After dismissing false positives, a manager must manually click Start on the monitoring record to re-evaluate the remaining findings and restore Active status.

Delete results — removes all current findings from this monitoring record (the monitoring record itself remains active and continues daily screening)
Download PDF — exports the full monitoring record as a PDF for audit and compliance purposes

Bottom toolbar:

Auto renewal — toggles automatic extension of the monitoring period each year; each renewal consumes one credit
Logs — shows a full audit trail of status changes and screening events for this record
History — previous screening runs and rechecks
Comments — internal notes left by managers on this record
Recheck — manually triggers a new screening run outside the daily cycle; consumes one credit
Update monitoring — saves any pending changes to the record (active when edits are unsaved)
Stop monitoring — disables further checks for this subject; can be restarted at any time
