Here you can find descriptions of the AML settings that are located in SettingsAnti Money Laundering (AML)image
Monitoring created via the dashboard will use these settings that are set on the environment.

AML Matching Threshold Percentage

Sets the minimum similarity score (75–100) to flag a potential match during AML checks and monitoring. Lower values increase sensitivity; higher values reduce false positives. Our recommended value is 95% as it leaves some room for error and provides a more detailed list.

AML Birth Year Range

Specify the search range for the Date of Birth. You can select an exact date, a range within a single year, or a span of up to 5 years, depending on how accurate or wide results you wish to see.

AML PEP Status Filter

Filters results by the individual’s PEP classification, whether they currently hold or formerly held a public role, or are connected to a PEP.

AML PEP Tier Filter

Filters results by the risk classification level of the politically exposed person (PEP). Tier 1 indicates the highest influence or exposure;Tier 3 indicates the lowest.
TierDescription
1International and National level. Requires the most stringent monitoring because they have the highest authority and access to state funds, making them more susceptible to large-scale bribery, corruption, or embezzlement.
2Regional or provincial officials, ambassadors, and senior management of slightly smaller bodies.
3Local officials, mayors of smaller cities, and board members of smaller state enterprises.

AML Sanctions Status Filter

Filters results by whether the individual or entity is currently under sanctions or was formerly sanctioned.

AML Datasets

Defines the categories of risk data included in checks, such as sanctions, politically exposed persons (PEPs), regulatory actions, reputational risk, and other relevant profiles.

Adverse Media Search Day Limit

Limits the search for adverse media to a specified number of days, excluding any older findings. Our recommendation is 7 days, as lowering it might increase the findings for common names and surnames.

AML Monitoring Tags

Enables the creation and assignment of custom tags to monitoring users, allowing you to filter the monitoring user list for easier management of the AMLs

AML Sanction Databases

Defines which sanctions lists are used during screening. By default, all available databases are included, but you can narrow the scope by selecting or excluding specific lists.
