About AML Screening & Monitoring
A full-lifecycle AML compliance platform supporting sanctions screening, adverse media screening, ongoing monitoring, and periodic rescreening.
Screening modes
Screen individuals against global sanctions, PEP lists, adverse media, and watchlists.
Continuously monitors an active Profile against updated watchlists for 365 days. Triggers an AML Alert when a new match is found.
Structured review workflow: check-in, reassign, resolve matches, and submit conclusions.
Core Capabilities
| Capability | Description |
|---|---|
| Name Screening | AML watchlist screening against sanctions, PEP, adverse media, and other risk categories |
| Ongoing Monitoring | Continuous watchlist monitoring with automated alerts when database records change |
| Case Management | Structured case review: check-in, reassign, Match resolution, and final conclusion |
Screening Configuration
AdvanGuard provides a comprehensive set of configuration options to tune your AML screening pipeline — controlling what gets screened, how matches are filtered, and which results reach your compliance officers for review.
Configuration Architecture
AML screening configuration follows a two-layer inheritance model:
- Global AML Settings define account-wide defaults applied to all verification Levels.
- Level AML Settings can optionally override Global defaults by enabling Use Custom AML Screening Settings.
This design lets you configure once at the Global level and customize only where needed. See Configure AML Screening for detailed setup instructions.
Noise Reduction
Three built-in filtering mechanisms work together to reduce false positives before matches enter Case Review:
| Filter | What It Does |
|---|---|
| Warning Types | Select which risk categories to screen against (Sanctions & Terrorism, PEP, Crime, Fitness & Probity, Adverse Media). Unselected categories are automatically excluded. |
| Secondary Field Filtering | Automatically compares gender and nationality between your screening input and matched entities. Obviously mismatched results are removed. |
| Score Threshold | Sets the minimum name-matching similarity score. Matches below the threshold are excluded. |
New Platform Architecture
AdvanGuard AML uses a Level → Application → Case architecture. A Level contains one or more AML Step configurations. When a user submits an Application referencing a Level, the platform automatically executes the AML Step and generates a Case if there are hits. Every Profile has a single, unique AML Case — all Alerts from every screening session are consolidated under that one Case.
End-to-End Workflow
| Step | Action | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Configure Level | Set up an AML Level with screening rules on the AdvanGuard platform. |
| 2 | Submit Application | Trigger screening via API or the Portal manual screening form. |
| 3 | Review Case | Check-in, audit Matches, and submit a final conclusion (Approve / Reject). |
| 4 | Ongoing Monitoring | Automatic monitoring generates new Alerts when watchlist data changes. |
