Key Features

Individual and business AML checks for compliance: SmartSearch AML enables users to perform AML checks on individuals and businesses by inputting their name, address, and date of birth. The system conducts automatic worldwide Sanction and Politically Exposed Person (PEP) screening, providing prompt pass or refer results.

AML compliance for UK and international coverage: SmartSearch AML integrates multiple data sources to verify international individuals and businesses, adhering to the same rigorous standards used for UK checks. It takes into account regulatory, cultural, and technological variations across countries.

Monitoring and retrospective checks: Following the initial AML checks, SmartSearch AML continues to monitor clients on a daily basis, issuing alerts for any changes in Sanctions or PEP status. The system also offers retrospective checks to ensure ongoing compliance.

Enhanced Due Diligence: In the event of a client matching a Sanctions or PEP list, SmartSearch AML triggers Enhanced Due Diligence, conducting further investigation to eliminate false positives. Users are alerted only if manual intervention is necessary.

TripleCheck: Verification & Screening: SmartSearch AML's TripleCheck feature leverages dual-bureau AML service to perform a comprehensive AML check, including Sanction and PEP screening, in less than 2 seconds. It generates an AML certificate with the check outcome.

TripleCheck: Fraud Checks: TripleCheck's fraud checks feature combines key digital elements (DEs) to calculate an overall risk score. The system provides a detailed dashboard with information to support additional due diligence.

Multiple solutions all on one platform: SmartSearch AML offers a range of solutions on a unified platform, including triple bureau service, high match-and-pass rates, an efficient and cost-effective compliance process, smoother customer onboarding, product training, ongoing support, and preparation for internal audits and regulatory visits.
