The full AML loop in one product

Full transaction monitoring connects AML event rules, counterparty screening, alerts, investigations, cases, and SAR reporting workflows.

  1. API

    Screen names

    POST /api/v1/aml/screen returns AUTO_CLEAR, REVIEW, or CONFIRMED with match context from global sanctions, PEP, and watchlist sources.

  2. API

    Monitor transactions

    POST /api/v1/aml/events for payments and counterparty changes. Statuses stay CLEAR or ALERTED — separate from screening classes.

  3. Dashboard

    Work cases

    Alerts and possible matches open cases in the Naiza dashboard. Assign an investigator, review the timeline, and resolve or escalate.

  4. Dashboard

    File a SAR record

    Turn a case into a SAR record and keep the full history in one place.

Built for every workflow

From onboarding screens to event alerts, cases, and SAR records

Customer Onboarding Screening

Screen new customers at the point of onboarding before account creation or KYC approval. Get an instant classification so your team acts only on genuine matches.

Transaction Counterparty Checks

Screen counterparties on every payment or wire transfer in real-time. Automatically flag transactions where the beneficiary or originator appears on a watchlist.

Ongoing list monitoring

Re-screen your existing customer base as watchlists are updated. Receive alerts when a previously cleared customer appears on a newly published sanctions list.

Full transaction monitoring

Send payments, instrument changes, and counterparty updates to POST /api/v1/aml/events. Matching rules return ALERTED so your application can apply its hold or escalation policy.

Case management

Open cases from alerts or screenings in the Naiza dashboard. Group the customer timeline, assign an owner, and record the outcome.

SAR records

Prepare SAR records straight from investigation cases, ready for your reporting workflow.

How it works

How name screening works — four steps from submit to classification

01

Submit Name

Send a name (individual or entity) via the API. Optionally include date of birth, nationality, or identifier fields to improve match accuracy.

02

Normalize & Match

Names are transliterated, normalized, and matched using fuzzy logic to handle spelling variations, aliases, and transliteration differences across scripts.

03

Score Against Watchlists

Each candidate match is scored using the matched source, entity type, and match confidence. The result includes evidence for investigation.

04

Get Classified Result

The API returns a classification—AUTO_CLEAR, REVIEW, or CONFIRMED—along with the matched entity details, source, and confidence score for your compliance workflow.

Possible classifications returned by the API

AUTO_CLEARNo match found
REVIEWPossible match — investigate

AML screening, events, and cases FAQ

Clear answers for product, engineering, risk, and compliance teams evaluating Naiza AML.

What is AML screening?

AML screening checks customers, businesses, counterparties, and transactions against sanctions, politically exposed person, and other risk data so compliance teams can identify potential matches for review.

What can the Naiza AML API do?

The API screens individuals and entities and accepts AML events for customers and counterparties. Screening returns AUTO_CLEAR, REVIEW, or CONFIRMED. Events return CLEAR or ALERTED.

Does an AML match always mean a customer should be blocked?

REVIEW routes a possible match to investigation. Naiza provides match details and source context so your team can verify the identity, record the outcome, and apply its configured policy.

How is AML screening integrated?

A server sends an authenticated request to the Naiza AML screening endpoint, stores the screening identifier, and routes the returned status into an automatic-clear, manual-review, or escalation workflow.

What are AML events?

AML events are activity you send to POST /api/v1/aml/events, such as a payment or counterparty change. Poll GET /api/v1/aml/events/:externalEventId for CLEAR or ALERTED. ALERTED means a rule matched. Your application applies the configured hold or escalation policy.

Does Naiza include case management?

Yes, in the Naiza dashboard. Alerts and possible matches can become cases so investigators can assign work, review the customer timeline, and record an outcome.

How does Naiza support SAR reporting?

Investigators prepare SAR records directly from dashboard cases, with the alerts, evidence, and decisions already attached.
