What is AML screening?
AML screening compares customers, businesses, and counterparties against sanctions, politically exposed person, and other risk watchlists. Structured results route possible matches to investigation with a documented outcome.
What teams actually screen
Screen individuals and entities at onboarding, when a payment counterparty appears, and when watchlists update. Store the match status and screening identifier, then route the result to clearance, review, or escalation.
