Sanctions
Screen against sanctions lists to use an integral tool in the fight against financial crime. Governments and organizations can place restrictive measures on people or entities conducting illegal activities.
Politically Exposed Persons
Check for politically exposed persons who, through their political profile or influence, are more likely to be involved in financial crime.
Adverse Media
Leverage adverse media sources to gather deeper insight about customers through print, online and broadcast media. The past criminal activity of a person or business is the most common type of adverse media.
How AML Watchlist Screening Works
A person or business submits personally identifiable information (PII) when creating a new customer account.
AML Watchlist Screening uses the PII to screen and identify high-risk profiles against global watchlists and adverse media sources.
People or businesses are flagged if their name appears on any adverse media, sanction or politically exposed person list.
Screening doesn’t stop at onboarding. Customers are continuously monitored for safety and compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Learn more about key industry terms and concepts.
What is AML watchlist screening?
Organizations that must comply with Anti-Money Laundering (AML) regulations need to screen people or organizations against global law enforcement and sanctions lists to determine the risk those parties present.
What is a sanctions list?
Sanctions lists are a compilation of regulatory and enhanced due diligence lists from major sanctioning bodies around the world. They flag questionable users and businesses, politically exposed persons (PEPs) and suspected criminals.
What are the relevant sanctioning bodies?
Major sanctioning bodies include those from the Office of Foreign Assets Control, the United Nations, the European Union, His Majesty’s Treasury, Interpol and thousands of other regulatory and law enforcement organizations.
When should watchlist screening be performed to ensure sanctions compliance?
Performing a watchlist screening after identity verification helps ensure screening data is accurate and legitimate. After an internal risk assessment, ongoing monitoring helps organizations stay up to date on changes to a customer’s status.
Why is AML screening important?
Transacting with customers who appear on PEPs or sanctions lists puts organizations at greater risk. Noncompliance could expose an organization to regulatory fines and reputational damage.
