AML Check — Quick Guide

Use this form to create a new AML (Anti-Money Laundering) check for a person or company. It screens your subject against selected datasets such as Sanctions, PEPs, and others.

---

1. Enter Subject Details

Fill in the identifying information for the person or company you want to screen.

• Full name — required.
• Client ID — optional internal reference.
• Date of birth / Gender — helps narrow results.
• Address or nationality — adds context and reduces false matches.

Make sure all required fields are completed before continuing.

---

2. Apply Filters

Fine-tune your search by selecting which datasets and parameters to use.

• Datasets — select what to check (e.g., PEP, Sanction, Adverse Media).
• Matching threshold — sets how closely the results must match.
• PEP status — include current, former, or linked PEPs.
• Sanctions status — include current or former sanctions.
• Sanction databases — specify or exclude certain lists if needed.

Adjust these filters depending on your screening requirements.

3. Create or Discard

Once all required information is filled in:

• Click Create to start the AML check.
• Click Discard to cancel.

If the “Create” button is disabled, review the form and complete any missing fields.

After submission, the system returns a list of potential matches. Review each one to confirm whether it refers to your subject.

Check Results

Search Parameters

Displays the details used in the check — your reference for what was searched. The top row shows the subject identity:

• Full name — the entered name of the person or company
• Address or nationality — country or region used in the search
• Date of birth — full or partial, if provided

Expand the row to see the full screening 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)
Sanction databases	Any sanction lists excluded from screening

Check Status

Column	Description
Check status	Current review state: Flags found (unreviewed matches exist), True positive, False positive, Under review, or Clear
Check ID	Unique identifier for this check
Client ID	Your internal customer reference
Status set by	The user who last changed the status

Found Matches

When matches exist, each row in the table is a potential profile. Review each one — small differences such as birth year or nationality often determine whether a match is genuine or false.

Column	Description
Full name	Matched entity’s name as listed in the dataset
Date of birth	If available in the source
Address or nationality	Country or region linked to the record
Datasets	Which databases triggered the match (e.g. PEP CURRENT, SAN CURRENT)
Match score	Confidence level (0–100) showing how close the match is to your subject
Select status	Mark the match as True positive, False positive, or Under review
Comment	Add context or reasoning for future reference

Click any matched row to open its full profile — see AML Profiles for a full description of all tabs and fields.
