AML Watcher
What it is
AML Watcher is paid software for customer screening and transaction monitoring. It checks customers against politically exposed person, adverse-media, sanctions, watchlist, anti-bribery and corruption, and international-leaks data. Transaction monitoring provides more than 150 curated AML typologies and over 10,000 customizable risk rules. AML Watcher says its database uses more than 100,000 sources, updates every 15 minutes, covers over 235 countries and states, and supports more than 80 screening languages. Its TruRisk explainable-AI feature is advertised to reduce false alerts by 80% while recording each judgment. Biometric AML compares a supplied image with a public AML face-data repository and claims 99% accuracy. APIs and pre-built libraries support JavaScript, PHP, Python, Ruby, Go, C#, Java, and cURL. Deployment can use cloud systems or on-premises infrastructure. GDPR and ISO 27001 compliance are stated. A trial includes five free searches; no free plan is offered.
