Further AML Check FAQ

Hopefully we can answer all of your AML check questions below, but if you have any other questions, please feel free to contact us.

What databases are used in AML screening?

AML checks scan over 1,500 global sanctions and enforcement databases and more than 12,000 adverse media sources, along with extensive PEP datasets.

What is the difference between AML, PEP and sanctions checks?

AML is the overall compliance process. PEP checks identify politically exposed persons, sanctions checks identify restricted individuals, and adverse media checks identify reputational risk.

Are social media sources included in adverse media checks?

No. Only verified editorial sources such as newspapers, journals, newswires and official publications are included. However you can separately run social media checks through the VETTING.com platform.

Can AML checks be run together?

Yes. PEP, sanctions and adverse media checks can be run as a combined AML workflow for faster compliance decisions.
