AML For Persons
How it Works
The AML For Person (AML-P) service allows you to perform Anti-Money Laundering (AML) screening for individuals. By using this service, you can identify whether an individual appears in AML watchlists, including PEP (Politically Exposed Persons) lists. This helps in assessing the risk associated with individuals in your transactions, providing insights into whether they may be involved in illicit activities such as money laundering or fraud.
Key Features
- Individual Screening: Identifies whether a person is listed on an AML watchlist or as a Politically Exposed Person (PEP).
- Detailed Information: Provides personal details of the individual if they are found in the watchlist, including aliases, relatives, occupations, and more.
- Risk Detection: Flags individuals who have been identified in various fraud and AML databases, ensuring high-risk profiles are properly reviewed.
- Aliases and Relationships: Lists aliases and related persons (such as spouse, children, siblings, etc.), helping to identify individuals who may be related to high-risk entities.
- Date of Birth and Citizenship Information: Helps confirm the identity of the person being screened.
