How It Works?
Shufti Pro offers versatile AML verification through two methods: Search Based and Document Based. The Search Based approach cross-references the provided details with AML data sources, while the Document Based method extracts essential information directly from provided documents for verification. These approaches ensure comprehensive AML screening, enhancing compliance and mitigating financial crime risks.
- Search Based: In this approach, key details like Company Name and Incorporation Date are provided by the end user or merchant and searched against AML data sources.
- Document Based: This method involves extracting essential information such as Company Name and Incorporation Date directly from the document provided by the end user & searched against AML data sources.

Ongoing AML
Ongoing monitoring is crucial in the fight against financial crimes and terrorism financing. It requires constant vigilance and adaptation to evolving global watchlists of money laundering and regulatory changes. Our continuous AML monitoring process ensures that applicant information stays up-to-date with real-time changes to global sanction lists and watchlists, so organisations can maintain the integrity of their operations.
Shufti Pro automatically detects changes in AML status, then it sends a webhook with the event "verification.status.changed". You can check the new AML status using the "get status" endpoint or from the back office. For improved ongoing AML results, use "fuzzy_match = 1" in the name of the object.
| Parameters | Description |

The new AML status can be checked using get status endpoint, or from the back-office. Use fuzzy_match = 1 in the name object for better results for Ongoing AML Screening. |
