An AML Screening Check, also known as Anti-Money Laundering (AML) Screening, Customer Screening, or Compliance Screening, helps organisations identify potential financial crime, sanctions, regulatory, and reputational risks by screening individuals and businesses against global risk intelligence sources.
ComplyCube screens subjects against a broad range of datasets, including:
- Sanctions and watchlists
- Politically Exposed Persons (PEPs)
- Adverse media and negative news
- Regulatory and law enforcement sources
- International and local compliance databases
- Related Connected Parties and Relatives and Close Associates (RCA)
Advanced Matching & Risk Detection
ComplyCube uses advanced screening technology to improve match accuracy and reduce false positives, including:
- Fuzzy name matching
- Phonetic matching
- Transliteration across languages and scripts
- Alias and name variation detection
- Address matching
- Date of birth, nationality, and identity attribute matching
- Configurable match thresholds
- Risk scoring and decisioning
These capabilities help organisations identify relevant sanctions, PEP, adverse media, and compliance risks while reducing unnecessary manual review.
