About this API

Anti-money-laundering obligations require screening before onboarding and monitoring afterwards. The AML & Sanctions Screening API runs a name, with optional date of birth, nationality and identifiers, across consolidated global and Indian lists and returns ranked matches with enough detail for a compliance officer to clear or escalate.

Ongoing monitoring re-screens your customer and vendor base as lists update, and posts new hits to your webhook.

Typical uses

Customer onboarding (KYC/AML). Mandatory screening for regulated entities.
Vendor and partner due diligence. Screen counterparties and their directors.
Senior hire due diligence. PEP and enforcement checks for leadership roles.
Investment and broking. Screen investors and beneficial owners.

Questions

Which lists are covered?: Major international sanctions programmes, domestic regulatory and enforcement lists, PEP databases and adverse-media-derived watchlists. The console lists current sources.
How do we handle a hit?: Matches come with scores and profiles. Your team clears or escalates in your own system, and the decision is logged against the request.
