Frequently Asked Questions
What is AML Screening?
AML screening is the process of checking customers and transactions against sanctions lists, PEPs, and adverse media to detect financial crime risks before onboarding or during business relationships.
Why is AML screening important for businesses?
It helps businesses stay compliant with global regulations, avoid fines, and protect their platforms from being exploited by criminals or sanctioned entities.
When is AML Screening required?
It is required during customer onboarding, ongoing monitoring, high-risk transactions, and whenever businesses need to verify that their clients are not linked to financial crime.
How does AML screening prevent financial crimes?
By flagging suspicious names or entities, screening blocks potential criminals from accessing financial systems and reduces exposure to money laundering or terrorist financing.
What is a false positive in AML screening?
A false positive is when a system flags a legitimate customer as a risk match due to name similarities or outdated records, which requires manual review to clear. However, Shufti’s AML tool is built to move past name nuances to reduce false positives to less than 1%.
Which global sources are used for PEP and sanctions checks?
Reliable checks pull from official government sanctions lists (e.g., OFAC, UN, EU, UK HMT), law enforcement databases, regulatory bodies, and global watchlists.
What penalties or issues might occur without AML screening?
Businesses risk regulatory fines, loss of licenses, reputational damage, and being used as channels for laundering or terrorism financing.
What is the update frequency and data accuracy?
Data must be refreshed in real time or daily from official sources to ensure accuracy, as outdated lists create blind spots for financial crime risks. With Shufti, data is updated every 15 minutes to ensure the least amount of false positives.
