How to Perform User AML Screening Using AiPrise

Last updated: January 19, 2025

AiPrise offers the ability to perform Anti-Money Laundering (AML) screening using a user's first and last name. This feature allows you to scan over 10,000 lists, including SDN, OFAC, Sanctions, and Adverse Media.

Using the API for AML Screening

To perform an AML screening, you'll use the same API endpoint as the regular user verification: https://docs.aiprise.com/reference/post_verify-run-user-verification

The response structure for AML information can be found in our documentation: https://docs.aiprise.com/docs/verification-result-1#aml_info

Configuring AML Settings

To use this feature effectively, you should configure your AML settings -

  1. Go to your AiPrise dashboard and navigate to the 'Your Templates' section.

  2. Click on the AML screening template

  3. In the template settings, you can configure:

    • Fuzziness score for name matching

    • Whether to use exact name matching

    • Continuous AML monitoring options

    • AML categories to be scanned i.e Sanctions / PEP / Adverse Media etc.

Making the API Call

When making the API call, ensure you're using the correct template ID for your AML screening template. This will ensure that only the AML screening is performed, rather than a full user verification

Note: The specific template ID will be unique to your account. You can find this in your AiPrise dashboard under the Templates section.
