Our AML screening process cross-references the user's information against numerous global watchlists and sanctions databases. This comparison ensures compliance with regulatory requirements and helps identify potential risks. Below is a detailed explanation of the fields you can expect in an AML Screening Report.
Report Structure
The verification report is returned as a JSON object containing an aml object with the following key sections:
- AML Status: Overall screening status and risk level
- Match Information: Details about potential watchlist matches
- Scoring Details: Risk scores and match confidence
- Matched Entity Information: Data about matched entities
- Verification Metadata: Additional verification details and timestamps
