AML Screening: How Amani Automates and Powers with AI

In today’s complex regulatory environment, businesses face immense pressure to meet Anti Money Laundering (AML) compliance standards in Dubai. Traditional methods of screening for financial crimes are time-consuming and prone to error, leaving organizations exposed to risk. Amani offers a transformative solution by leveraging artificial intelligence to automate and simplify AML screening across all stages of compliance.

What Is AML Screening?

AML screening is a critical compliance process used to detect and prevent financial crimes. It involves checking customer information against:

• Sanctions lists to prevent transactions with prohibited entities

• Politically Exposed Persons (PEP) databases to identify high-risk individuals

• Adverse media to detect associations with suspicious or illegal activities

• Ongoing monitoring to ensure continued compliance over time
  

These layers of protection allow businesses to operate within regulatory frameworks while protecting their reputation and financial integrity.

The Challenge

• Manual Screening: A next-generation identity verification engine that supports rapid onboarding with real-time document validation and facial recognition.

• Excessive False Positives: An advanced biometric suite offering 3D liveness detection and passive facial recognition, ensuring secure and accurate identity verification.

• Limited Resources: Provides ongoing AML screening, including sanctions lists, PEP checks, and adverse media monitoring, to mitigate compliance risks effectively.

• Compliance Gaps: Facilitates agent-assisted video KYC sessions, combining human oversight with AI to verify identities in real-time.
