How to evaluate aml customer screening
Define which entities and source collections must be screened before comparing coverage claims. Sanctions, politically exposed person status and adverse media support different risk decisions. Ask for the relevant jurisdictions, languages, update policy and evidence retained for a potential match.
Test matching against a labelled sample with aliases, transliterations, common names and incomplete dates of birth. Review both missed matches and analyst workload. Agree how thresholds and source selections can vary by risk profile, and what happens when customer data or a risk source changes.
Screening does not verify possession of an identity document and does not analyse transaction patterns. Specify how screening results connect to identity verification, investigation cases and ongoing review; these functions may have separate commercial scope.

Buyer questions, answered
Is customer screening the same as transaction monitoring?
No. Screening checks identities against risk information; transaction monitoring evaluates patterns in financial activity.
SourceDoes a possible name match prove that a customer is prohibited?
No. A potential match must be evaluated using supporting identity information and the operator’s review policy.
SourceCan customer screening replace document verification?
No. Risk-list screening and identity verification address different evidence and are separately described capabilities.
