How AI is used

AML Watcher is a compliance platform designed to help businesses identify high-risk entities through various screening tools. It aggregates data from 3,500+ global watchlists and 215+ sanction regimes, covering 235+ countries and 80+ languages to support international operations.

The software is designed for firms in financial services, banking, insurance, and crypto sectors. It provides a centralized way to perform PEP (Politically Exposed Persons) screening and adverse media checks, which may help compliance officers identify risks during customer onboarding.

Beyond initial checks, the platform supports transaction monitoring and ongoing screening to alert users when a customer's risk status changes. It also includes a tool for crypto wallet screening to identify sanctioned addresses.

Buyers should confirm whether the cloud-based or on-premises deployment model best fits their data privacy requirements and if the API rate limits align with their expected search volume.
