BUSINESS AML SCREENING
End-to-End AML Screening for Every Business
Entity-only checks are no longer enough. Shufti screens businesses against 100k+ global sources, flags risk changes in real time, and builds a complete audit trail for every business.
Business AML Screening with Proven Global Coverage
What Sets Shufti Business AML Apart
Unified Screening Across Every Entity Type
Manually entering business details slows onboarding and introduces errors. Shufti searches by name or scans details from registration certificates, invoices, or filings. Entity data feeds straight into screening.
The same business registers under different names across jurisdictions and passes screening each time. Shufti matches businesses across jurisdictions, name variations, and formats so the same entity doesn't pass under a different name.
The business clears screening but the people behind it are never checked. Shufti screens directors, officers, and beneficial owners against the global watchlists. If any individual is listed, the business gets flagged
Continuous Monitoring That Catches What Onboarding Missed
A business hits a watchlist after onboarding and nobody knows until the regulator asks. Shufti fires alerts when a business's risk status changes. Watchlist additions, adverse media, or regulatory actions.
Rescreening thousands of businesses one by one creates backlogs and missed deadlines. Shufti rescreens your entire portfolio against updated lists in a single batch run. No business slips through.
Negative news about the business is published in a foreign language and your team never sees it. Shufti surfaces negative news tied to the entity. Fraud, fines, enforcement actions across 50,000+ sources in 80+ languages.
Controls That Fit Your Compliance Programme
Every business rescreens on the same fixed calendar regardless of risk level. Shufti runs rescreening by risk tier or jurisdiction. High-risk businesses screen more frequently. No manual tracking.
A business incorporated in a high-risk jurisdiction gets the same risk treatment as one in a low-risk country. Shufti assesses risk based on country of incorporation, operating jurisdictions, and exposure to sanctioned regions.
Entity screening, document checks, and individual AML run on separate systems with separate results. Shufti runs IDV, KYC, KYB, and corporate AML screening solutions on one platform. One API, one audit trail.
Audit-Ready From First Screen to Latest Review
Screening results sit in separate tools. Reconstructing the story for a regulator takes weeks. Shufti stores every result, alert, decision, and analyst note in a single exportable case file.
New AML regulations drop and your team finds out after the enforcement deadline. Shufti monitors for regulation changes, sanctions regime shifts, and compliance updates that affect your portfolio.
A dissolved or suspended business still shows as active in your records. Shufti verifies the business is active, registered, and in good standing across 140+ jurisdictions in real time.
YOUR INDUSTRY. YOUR RISK LANDSCAPE.
Built for Regulated and High-Risk Businesses
Screen Every Seller, Merchant, and Beneficial Owner

The Confidence Our Clients Share
The future of digital identity is defined by trust, interoperability, and regulatory alignment, so our partnership with Shufti reinforces DevCode Identity's commitment to supporting our global customers with the most secure, best-in-class, complaints identity verification solutions available today.
Combining our Conversion Driven Compliance Orchestration Platform with Shufti's global KYC and IDV capabilities allows our customers not only to navigate complex regulatory demands but also to maintain a seamless customer onboarding experience with the highest achievable conversion rates.
Shufti gives us verification journeys we can trust across every market we serve. The ability to route players through passive database checks, eID authentication, and full biometric liveness — all behind one API — has reshaped how we think about onboarding compliance.
Their team acts like an extension of ours. When regulators added new requirements across two European markets, Shufti’s journey builder let us adapt in days, not months.
FXBO customers demand speed without compromising AML rigour. Shufti’s eIDV fits exactly there — high-assurance verification for large deposits, invisible background checks for everything else, and one compliance trail across the board.
Integration took a single sprint. The SDK handled the full journey, so our product team stayed focused on trading features instead of building KYC screens.
As a regulated European payments platform, we need identity verification that meets eIDAS 2.0 and AMLD6 without multi-vendor stitching. Shufti delivers both — native eID authentication for high-assurance markets and docless database checks where eIDs don’t reach.
One contract, one audit log. That changes the compliance conversation entirely.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is business AML screening?
The process of checking a business entity and the individuals behind it UBOs, directors, shareholders, and authorised signatories against sanctions lists, PEP databases, adverse media, and other watchlists. Required under FATF guidance, EU AMLDs, ECCTA, and FinCEN beneficial ownership rules.
What is the difference between corporate AML screening and individual AML screening?
Individual screening checks a single person. Business screening adds entity verification, ownership structure analysis, and the requirement to identify and screen every natural person who owns or controls the entity.
How does Shufti reduce false positives?
Context-aware name matching handles transliterations, aliases, and phonetic variations. Adverse media NLP reads full articles, extracts entity relevance, and deduplicates syndicated stories. The result is fewer irrelevant alerts and more actionable risk signals.
Can Business AML Screening solutions be fully automated?
Shufti supports automated screening via REST API — entity verification, ownership mapping, watchlist screening, PEP/RCA classification, and adverse media checks. Results are delivered through the API response, webhooks, or the Back Office.
How often should existing business clients be rescreened?
Regulators expect ongoing monitoring, not one-time checks. Shufti supports continuous monitoring with real-time alerts plus configurable periodic rescreening by risk tier or jurisdiction.
What evidence is available for audits?
Every screening result is stored with sources, timestamps, match attributes, analyst notes, and review history in a single case file, exportable for regulatory examination.
