What is AML Screening?
Anti-Money Laundering (AML) screening is the process of checking individuals against global watchlists, sanctions lists, and databases of Politically Exposed Persons (PEP) to prevent financial crimes. Businesses regulated under KYC/AML laws must verify that their customers are not involved in money laundering, terrorist financing, or other criminal activities. ID Analyzer's AML screening solution checks against hundreds of global databases in real-time, covering sanctions lists from OFAC, EU, UN, HM Treasury, and more, along with PEP databases and criminal records from jurisdictions worldwide.
Comprehensive Automated
AML Compliance Check
Here at ID Analyzer, we have created an innovative ALM (otherwise known as anti-money laundering) solution as both an integrative and standalone product within our range.
With our AML solutions, you will be able to check whether your client has a criminal record, is under sanction, or is a PEP (also known as a politically exposed person). Not to mention that it will help you detect customers in the KYC (Know Your Customer) program.
To make it even more beneficial for you, our AML solutions consolidate worldwide databases to ensure each lookup is fast, accurate, and effective.

Moreover, our ID Analyzer AML Solutions will allow you to set up stringent anti-money laundering protocols that will ultimately allow you to invest in long-standing business relationships with your customers and suppliers.

Protect Your Business and The Wider Community
Ultimately, the goal of anti-money laundering is to protect your business, staff, and even the community surrounding your company. Money laundering drastically undermines the integrity and reliability of the country's financial system. Don't let your business become a part of the problem.
How Our AML Solution Works
Our AML Solutions allow you to search ID Analyzer AML Database in three different ways. More detail on each of the methods can be found below.
AML Database API
You can access the database manually when making a search through the HTTP protocol by inputting a name, document number, or both values. If necessary, our system can help you filter the results by inputting nationality and/or the person's birthday.
ID Verification API Integration
If manually searching isn't for you, our AML solutions enables on-the-fly AML search while uploading user documents using the ID Verification API. Here, you will submit the identification document of the person you're searching for. Then, our API will automatically parse the name and document number to identify a match (if it can find one).
We recommend this search method when looking for AML answers from the database. This is due to the enhanced reliability and accuracy provided in the results.
DocuPass Integration
The final searching method uses DocuPass. A user should submit their identification photo through our DocuPass verification app. It works in a very similar way to the previous ID Verification API and will extract the person's name and document number automatically from the uploaded photograph. After that, it will check whether any matches exist.
Whichever way you choose to search, our Anti-Money Laundering Solutions will guarantee AML compliance, protect your business, and promote a trustworthy, reliable working environment.
