Cleaner Signal Stronger Risk Detection
AML Screening Tool Built to Turn Alerts into Audit-Ready Decisions
The Identity-Anchor Advantage
Reduce false positives by linking every AML hit to a biometric-verified identity using Face, ID, and OCR. Shufti evaluates the actual person, not just name similarity.
Fine-tune matching with phonetic, diacritic, transliteration, name-order, and suffix rules. Field-level scoring remains explainable and adjustable without engineering support.
OCR-derived attributes such as DOB, nationality, document number, and entity type strengthen risk decisions. Conflicting signals are automatically filtered out.
One Owned Data Foundation
Screen against 4,000+ watchlists and 2.6M PEPs across 215+ jurisdictions through one unified AML platform.
Sanctions, PEPs, adverse media, and crypto wallet data refresh every 15 minutes, not daily.
Handle global identities with native phonetic, transliteration, diacritic, and Unicode-confusable detection across diverse scripts.
Lifecycle Risk Coverage
Screen 215+ sanction regimes and 4,000+ watchlists. Adverse media analysis evaluates risk themes, context, tone, and entity involvement, not just keywords.
Wallets screened against global sanctioned wallet lists with the same 15-minute refresh cycle as fiat AML. MiCA and FATF Travel Rule aligned, VASP-ready.
Monitor businesses, vessels, aircraft, and ports with real-time alerts through API, webhook, email, or back-office.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is AML screening software?
AML screening software checks customer information against sanctions, PEP, watchlist and adverse-media data. It helps organisations identify possible financial-crime exposure, review potential matches and maintain evidence of their screening decisions.
What does an AML screening solution check?
The screening scope depends on the provider and the organisation’s configuration. It commonly includes sanctions records, politically exposed persons and their associates, regulatory or law-enforcement watchlists and adverse-media information.
Do you offer AML screening services or just the software?
Both, in the sense that matters. You get the software plus the people around it: rule-tuning support during setup, integration engineers, sandbox access on signatures, and a named team through deployment. Your compliance analysts keep ownership of every decision, which is what your regulator expects and what no vendor can take off your hands.
How long does integration take, and what are the options?
REST API and webhooks for real-time screening. Web and mobile SDKs for embedded journeys. No-Code Journey Builder for orchestration. Bulk Search via CSV plus API for portfolios. Headless Compliance for running Shufti behind an existing dashboard. Sandbox access on contract signature; standard scope deployments are typically completed within 30 days.
Why does AML screening system need a biometric anchor?
Text-based AML screens whatever the customer types. Common-name false positives flood the queue, and verified criminals slip through under common-name cover. Binding every hit to a biometric-verified identity disambiguates the screened entity at the document layer before name-matching is calculated.
What is Shufti's false-positive rate, and how is it measured?
Customers using identity-anchored matching plus the MLRO AI Agent see up to 60% reduction in Level-1 false-positive triage compared with text-based legacy AML, measured against the customer's pre-Shufti baseline. Match-score composition is 85% name and 15% DOB, with a below-90% confidence cap and field-level explainability.
How does the 15-minute refresh cadence work?
Sanctions lists, PEP registers, adverse-media articles, and crypto-wallet registries refresh every 15 minutes. Primary sources are collected directly from regulators (OFAC SDN, HMT/OFSI, EU CFSP, UN Consolidated, DFAT, SECO, GOV.UK, Japan MoF, Etherscan, Israel, plus 215+ more), not through aggregators.
How does Shufti perform on non-Latin names?
Native phonetic models cover Arabic, Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), Vietnamese, Thai, Hindi, Korean, Japanese, Bengali, Tamil, Hebrew, Greek, Russian, and 65+ further languages, for 80+ supported languages in total. Cultural name-order, transliteration, and Unicode-confusable resolution applied before composite confidence is calculated.
Can the AML screening platform deploy on a private cloud or on-premises?
Yes. The matching engine, audit log, and case-management layer can be deployed on a private cloud or on-premises for banking, government, defence, and healthcare. AML data refreshes every 15 minutes via secure transport. Regional cloud processing is available across EU, UK, US, APAC, and MENA. SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, Cyber Essentials Plus, GDPR (DPA plus SCC), and CCPA documentation available on request.
How does Shufti align with the EU AMLR, AMLA, AMLD6, MiCA and the FATF Travel Rule?
AMLR (Regulation 2024/1624) takes effect on 10 July 2027. AMLA begins direct supervision on 1 January 2028. The maximum administrative penalty is doubled to EUR 10 million or 10% of turnover. Shufti's architecture meets the baseline of identity-anchored screening, field-level explainable scoring, sandbox-tested risk policy, immutable audit trail, real-time refresh, and unified fiat plus crypto coverage.
What happens for jurisdictions outside the core 215+?
Where a jurisdiction has direct authoritative-source coverage, Shufti screens against the authoritative source. Where coverage is partial, the identity-aware fallback resolves the customer through name-matching across the 80+ language phonetic model, RCA mapping, and adverse-media intelligence in the local language.
Stop Screening Strings, Start Screening People
Your onboarding already verifies the person. Your AML screening software should do the same. Check whether your current stack covers verified identity, 80+ language matching, and a 15-minute refresh, or whether it is still matching text against a feed.
