Anti-Money Laundering (AML) FAQs

Why is AML screening important for fraud prevention?

AML screening is a crucial process designed to prevent money laundering activities by closely monitoring and assessing the risks posed by customers. Our AML screening solution integrates seamlessly with identity verification processes, employing real-time checks against global watchlists, PEP (Politically Exposed Persons) lists, and sanctions lists. By identifying high-risk individuals and monitoring transactions for suspicious activity, AML screening serves as a critical layer of security, ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements and safeguarding your business from the financial and reputational damages associated with money laundering.

Yes. ID-Pal can support ongoing monitoring by continuously re-screening individuals and businesses against updated watchlists, sanctions, and adverse media sources. This ensures that risk exposure is not assessed only at onboarding but maintained throughout the customer lifecycle. Alerts are generated when risk profiles change, enabling timely investigation and compliance action.

Sanctions are restrictions placed on countries, businesses or individuals to prevent them from engaging in certain activities. As part of AML regulations, businesses are required to check Sanctions Lists prior to working with new customers to ensure that they do not work with sanctioned individuals.
A PEP is a Politically Exposed Person. These individuals represent a higher level of money-laundering risk due to the fact that they, or someone close to them, hold a prominent position that makes them more vulnerable to negative influences such as bribery or corruption. Screening for PEPs enables businesses to identify these high-risk customers, thereby ensuring robust AML compliance measures are in place.

Yes. ID-Pal supports screening for both individuals (KYC) and businesses (KYB), including directors, beneficial owners, and associated entities. This is particularly important for firms required to identify ultimate beneficial ownership (UBO) and assess the broader risk associated with corporate structures. Screening extends beyond the entity itself to the people behind it.

AML screening is integrated directly into ID-Pal’s identity verification and business verification workflows. This means organisations can verify identity documents, perform biometric checks, and run AML screening within a single platform.

The result is a unified onboarding and compliance process rather than fragmented checks across multiple systems.
