How it Works

The AML For Business (AML-B) service enables Anti-Money Laundering (AML) screening for businesses and companies. This service helps identify whether a business appears in AML watchlists, such as those associated with corporate fraud, suspicious activities, or politically exposed persons (PEPs). By leveraging this service, organizations can assess the risk of doing business with entities that may be involved in money laundering, financial crime, or other illicit activities.

Key Features​

  • Business Screening: Identifies whether a company is listed on an AML watchlist or flagged for high-risk activities.
  • Detailed Company Information: Provides essential details about the business, such as the name, registration number, owners, officers, and business addresses if found in the watchlist.
  • Risk Detection: Highlights businesses that have been flagged in global fraud, PEP, or sanction databases, ensuring that high-risk entities are thoroughly investigated.
  • Ownership and Control: Helps reveal the ownership structure of the business and related entities, which can help detect potential hidden owners linked to high-risk individuals or groups.
  • Corporate Relationships: Identifies business partners or affiliates, as well as subsidiaries, that may share similar risk profiles.
