# Business AML Screening

> How Business AML Screening checks entities against global watchlists and anti-money laundering databases.

Business AML Screening checks entities against global watchlists and anti-money laundering databases. You add it to your **Trust Flow** and configure it in the product **Settings** panel.

## How it works

### Processes

When you configure this product, you choose which screening processes apply. Typical options include:

* **Entity Name Screening** — Matches the business name against watchlist and AML data sources.
* **Sanction & PEP Screening** — Surfaces sanctions hits and politically exposed person (PEP) matches where your datasets support them.
* **Risk Dataset Screening** — Applies your selected risk datasets (reputational, regulatory, and related lists).
* **Country-Based Risk Profiling** — Uses country inputs to refine exposure and risk context.

These appear as selectable **processes** when you configure Business AML Screening.

### Inputs

Your flow supplies the data the screen uses:

* **Name** — The legal or trading name of the entity to screen.
* **Datasets** — Which AML and risk lists to query (configured under **Verification settings**).
* **Countries** — Jurisdictions to include in country-based profiling (the picker covers **233** countries; use multi-select or **Select all** as needed).
* **Threshold** — The minimum match score (or confidence) you require before a hit is treated as material for your workflow.

## Tool settings

Open the **Tool settings** section in the product settings modal. Under **Verification settings**, you tune datasets, geography, matching behaviour, and related options. Use the information icons beside each control for field-level help.

### Verification settings

| Setting       | Purpose                                                                                                                                                                                                   |
| ------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Datasets**  | Multi-select the lists to include in screening. Search, tick items, then use **Clear** or **Close** in the picker as needed. Selected datasets appear as removable tags in the field.                     |
| **Countries** | Multi-select jurisdictions for country-based risk profiling. **Select all** selects every available country (**233**). Individual countries appear as tags; large selections may summarize as “+ N more”. |
| **Threshold** | Numeric cutoff (for example **75**) for how strong a match must be before your Trust Flow treats it according to your rules. Adjust based on false-positive tolerance.                                    |

#### Available datasets

You can combine any of the following dataset types when your subscription includes them:

| Code    | Dataset                     |
