Overview
Meet regulatory requirements without blocking legitimate customers. SEON’s AML compliance automatically identifies and monitors high-risk individuals or entities by cross-referencing customers against global sanctions, watchlists, crime lists, PEP databases and adverse media sources.
This all happens through the same API used for fraud prevention — connecting real-time customer screening, payment screening and transaction monitoring in a unified platform.

Customer screening
Screen individuals and businesses against global sanctions lists, PEP databases and adverse media in real-time. Customer screening happens at onboarding, during periodic reviews and through ongoing monitoring.
Search profiles give you complete control over how you screen customers: combine data source selection with fuzzy matching logic to control who is screened and how.
Payment screening
Go beyond name screening with SEON. Payment screening helps you identify sanctioned institutions and high-risk intermediaries involved in cross-border payments. Validate banking identifiers and crypto wallets in real-time to catch risky transactions before they are settled.
What you can screen:
- BIC and SWIFT codes against sanctioned institutions
- IBANs for correspondent bank involvement
- Crypto wallets for links to flagged addresses
- Cross-border payment intermediaries
Transaction monitoring
Monitor customer transactions for suspicious patterns like structuring, layering and rapid movement of funds. Transaction monitoring combines rule-based detection with SEON’s 900+ fraud signals for smarter, context-aware alerts.
Transaction monitoring includes:
- Pre-built rules for common AML scenarios
- Custom rule creation by jurisdiction or product
- Rule categories to organize rules by regulatory framework
- Movement of funds visualization to trace transaction flows
- Alert insights widget to track volumes and team performance
