Watchlist and AML Screening checks individuals 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:
- Name and DOB Screening — Matches the person’s name and date of birth against your selected sources.
- Global Watchlist Checks — Screens against applicable global watchlists.
- 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 Watchlist and AML Screening.
Your flow supplies the data the screen uses:
- Name — The individual’s name to screen.
- Date of Birth — Used with name for matching and eligibility.
- Datasets — Which lists to query (configured under Tool settings).
- Countries — Jurisdictions to include in country-based profiling (multi-select; the picker can cover 233 countries—use Select all or pick specific countries).
- Threshold — The minimum match score (or confidence) you require before a hit is treated as material for your workflow.
Open the Tool settings section in the product settings modal. The list can scroll; use the information icons beside each control for field-level help.
Verification settings
When matches are returned: Use the prompt Select the status of the verification when the Watchlist and AML Screening returns matches and choose one option:
| Option | Purpose |
|---|
| Manual Review | Sends the verification to review when there are matches, so an operator can decide the outcome. |
| Rejected | Fails or rejects the verification when there are matches, according to your Trust Flow rules. |
Datasets
Multi-select the watchlist and risk datasets to include. Search and tick items in the dropdown, then use Clear or Close as needed. Selected datasets appear as removable tags; large selections may show a summary such as + N more.
| Code | Dataset |
|---|
| PEP | Politically Exposed Person |
| SAN | Sanction List |
| RRE | Reputational Risk Exposure |
| INS | Insolvency |
| DD | Disqualified Director (UK only) |
| POI | Profile of Interest |
| REL | Regulatory Enforcement List |
Countries
Multi-select Countries to set the geographic scope of screening. Tags show individual selections; broad selections may display as + N more. Use Select all when you want full coverage of the available country list.
Threshold, matching policy, and PEP tiers
| Setting | Purpose |
|---|
| Threshold | Numeric cutoff for match strength (for example 75). Raise or lower it to balance false positives against missed hits. |
| Matching Policy | How name matching is performed—for example Fuzzy and Strict. |
| PEP Tiers | Multi-select which PEP classification tiers to include—for example PEP Tier 1, PEP Tier 2, and PEP Tier 3. |
AML monitoring
| Setting | Purpose |
|---|
| Add individual into AML Monitoring | When enabled, each AML screening run adds or updates this person in the selected company worklist for ongoing monitoring. When disabled, screening runs without automatically maintaining that worklist entry. |
Which datasets, countries, matching options, and PEP tiers you can use depends on your account configuration. If a control is missing or you need help tuning thresholds, contact IDmeta support.
