Why Compliance Teams Choose Shufti
Decision-Ready Alerts
Traditional name-matching tools flood teams with high false positives, leading to manual reviews. Shufti’s identity-aware, multilingual matching engine uses transliteration, phonetics, suffix handling, and identity context (DOB, nationality, RCA) to filter out weak matches so more low-risk customers pass automatically and analysts focus on genuine risk.
Single Identity-Aware Risk Profile
Sanctions, PEP/RCA, adverse media, fitness & probity, enforcement actions, SIP/SIE, insolvency, and high-risk assets often live in separate tools. Shufti consolidates them into one enriched profile per person or entity, so analysts see the full risk picture in one place instead of stitching together fragmented results.
Audit-Ready Case Intelligence
Many AML systems generate alerts with little context, making reviews slow and hard to defend. Shufti surfaces key match signals, role, tenure, sources, and sanction summaries where relevant, backed by case management and immutable logs, helping teams investigate faster and stand behind decisions with auditors, partners, & regulators.
Customisable Risk Scoring
One-size-fits-all settings rarely match local regulations or internal policy. Shufti lets teams configure thresholds, lists, search profiles, risk scores, and monitoring frequencies by dataset and jurisdiction, aligning screening outcomes with documented risk-based approaches and supervisory expectations.
Powering Compliance with Seamless AML Screening
End-to-End AML Screening for Global Compliance
Intelligent AML Screening
Sanctions Screening
Screen individuals, entities, and wallets against global sanctions such as UN, OFAC, EU, HMT, DFAT, SECO, and 215+ additional sanctions regimes. Our coverage extends to secondary sanctions, ensuring comprehensive screening for entities indirectly tied to sanctioned individuals or countries.
Watchlist Screening
Expand your compliance coverage with an extensive collection of global and regional watchlists. Stay ahead of potential risks by screening against over 3,500 watchlists, and integrate your own sources as needed to ensure full visibility.
PEP & RCA Intelligence
Identify Politically Exposed Persons (PEPs) across a four-tier global framework and access historical records to track PEP status over time. Automatically map relatives and close associates into an evolving influence graph, ensuring comprehensive risk assessments and a dynamic view of potential risks.
Adverse Media
Monitor negative news from over 50,000 global and local sources in 80+ languages. Articles are classified into more than 415 risk themes (e.g., corruption, fraud, organized crime) to ensure that analysts focus on material AML-related exposure, rather than generic negative press.
Monitoring & Operations
Ongoing Monitoring
Set monitoring frequency, duration, and scope by risk tier or segment, with instant alerts for new designations, fresh negative news, or role changes.
Bulk Screening
Run high-volume checks via CSV upload or API for portfolio reviews, rescreening, or migrations, without overloading operations.
Custom Lists
Maintain allow-lists and block-lists to reduce repeat false positives or enforce internal bans. Mark individuals or entities that should always be cleared or always be flagged for manual review.
Reusable Search Profiles
Save configurations of lists, thresholds, and filters as profiles to ensure consistent screening across teams and regions.
Flexible Integration for Your Stack
Single API
Embed AML screening into onboarding flows and transaction checks, with alerts and decisions pushed in real time.
Mobile SDKs
Use web and mobile SDKs to add Shufti into customer journeys with minimal engineering effort.
Back-Office

Journey Builder
Orchestrate IDV, AML, and KYB journeys with reusable search profiles and monitoring rules mapped to your risk policies.
How AML Screening Process Works
From Onboarding to Ongoing Monitoring in 4 Steps
01
STEP 01
Verify Identity
Verify individuals and businesses with Shufti KYC/KYB. That verified entity becomes the anchor for all AML screening, improving match accuracy versus name-only tools.
02
STEP 02
AML Screening
Screen the profile against Shufti’s consolidated AML dataset (sanctions, PEP/RCA, adverse media, and more) using multilingual, identity-aware name-matching that supports 80+ languages and transliteration to return only relevant candidates.
03
STEP 03
Risk Based Rules
Rules, risk scores, and reusable search profiles determine which hits become alerts, how they are prioritized, and when to trigger enhanced due diligence (EDD). You can standardize logic globally while retaining regional nuance where regulations or risk levels differ.
04
STEP 04
Ongoing Monitoring
Review decision-ready alerts in a unified workspace, record outcomes, and rely on continuous monitoring to catch new sanctions, role changes, or adverse news.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is AML screening, and why do we need it?
AML screening checks customers, counterparties, and related entities against sanctions lists, PEP/RCA data, watchlists, and adverse media. It helps you detect financial-crime risk, comply with AML/CFT regulations, and protect your business from fines, license issues, and reputational damage.
How is Shufti’s AML screening different from basic list-matching tools?
Shufti combines verified identity data, an in-house global AML dataset, multilingual matching across 80+ languages, and explainable AI. Instead of relying only on a name and country, it uses multiple identifiers and risk signals to deliver decision-ready screening results with fewer false positives and lower manual review volumes, while maintaining strong detection coverage.
Which sanctions and watchlists does Shufti cover?
Shufti aggregates more than 3,500 global watchlists and 215+ sanctions regimes, including UN, OFAC, EU, HMT, DFAT, SECO, and additional law-enforcement and regulatory sources. You can also add your own sources and internal lists to create a single screening layer tailored to your obligations.
How often is AML data updated?
AML data is refreshed frequently from official and trusted sources, with sanctions lists updated as often as every 15 minutes and media coverage updated continuously, so monitoring reflects the latest changes.
Can Shufti support ongoing monitoring and rescreening?
Yes. Shufti supports one-off checks, batch screening, and continuous, configurable monitoring. You define how often profiles are rescreened, which sources are included, and how alerts are delivered (console, API, webhooks, email).
How does integration work?
You can integrate via REST API, SDKs, or use the back-office console. Many customers embed AML screening directly into onboarding flows, core platforms, or existing case-management systems, with webhooks sending alerts and decisions in real time.
How does Shufti handle security and data protection?
Shufti is built with strong security and data-protection controls, including encryption in transit and at rest, strict access management, and separation of client data. Data-retention settings are configurable to align with your internal policies and regulatory requirements.
