Define what the check covers
Choose the supported lists needed for the check. Keep that scope with the result so the next reviewer knows what was checked.
AML screening software
Make sanctions checks part of your AML onboarding process. Screen the people and companies your policy requires, review possible matches, and keep the reasons for each decision. Use the API and dashboard together.
Paid plans start at $59/month for 5,000 checks each month. API and review dashboard included. See pricing.

What this helps your team do
Choose the supported lists needed for the check. Keep that scope with the result so the next reviewer knows what was checked.
Send possible matches to the shared queue. Compare facts you can verify, record whether the identity is the same, and get a second review when required.
Keep the submitted details, source evidence, notes, and decisions together. Original documents stay in your document service; the case stores their links.
A practical use case
AML means anti-money laundering. A wider AML process includes several tasks. SanctionsKit handles selected-list screening and review; your team still needs the other services and checks required by its program.
List the customer and related parties to check. Choose the required sources and name the other checks your team must complete.
Submit the subjects through the API or dashboard. Review possible matches and keep failed checks open for a fix.
Save who you think the match is and what your team will do next. Set up repeat checks where needed.
Your intake process supplies the legal name and known details. SanctionsKit compares them with the selected lists and returns possible matches. Your reviewers inspect the evidence and decide whether a possible match is the same identity. The customer-acceptance decision follows your own policy.
For a business customer, keep the company and each required owner or representative as separate subjects. Record the role of each person in your own file. The product does not discover the ownership structure. A complete list of parties comes from your due-diligence work.
Try a fictional company with one related person and a similar-name candidate. Follow both checks into the dashboard. Ask the reviewer to explain which result belongs to which subject, what is still unknown, and who must approve the next step. Test a failed required check too; the app must leave it incomplete.
For a continuing customer, decide which subjects need monitoring and who will read the alerts. The AML screening guide explains where this fits. Keep a list of separate needs, such as identity verification, PEP checks, transaction monitoring, and reports to regulators.
Use source discovery to choose named lists or a package version for your AML sanctions check. Save that choice in the customer file. A no-match covers only those lists. You still need to verify who the customer is. If a required source fails, the check stays incomplete.
Sanctions screening is one part of AML onboarding. Your app sends the known person or company details. The screening records what the selected lists returned. A reviewer compares possible matches and completes the other checks that the customer file needs.
In a fictional business account, the company and two required owners create three subject screenings. One owner may need review while the other checks return no-match. Keep all three results linked to the customer file. An incomplete check must not turn into either a no-match or an approved relationship.
Test a no-match case that still needs external checks and approval. Can the reviewer find the evidence and explain why those checks were completed or did not apply? Can the engineer see which task is still open? A successful HTTP response is only one step in that flow.
Estimate initial checks for every required party, plus later rescreens. Use fintech onboarding for a worked example and pricing for the shared allowance. SanctionsKit does not provide a complete AML program. Your team remains responsible for the wider process and any additional services it needs.

Evaluate the details
It is for teams that need list checks, a review queue, saved evidence, and an API or dashboard. Compare the actual source coverage with your needs. If you need a complete AML suite, account for the separate checks and services your process requires.
Each person or company is a separate subject. A customer company and three required related people can use four completed screenings. Later monitoring rescreens add to the same allowance. Your policy determines which parties need checking.
No. The result describes the completed check against chosen sources. Your app must still follow the other checks and approvals required by your policy. Keep the screening outcome and the account-opening decision separate.
Yes, for selected subjects whose details remain saved. Create monitors with the required sources and a six-hour, daily, or weekly schedule. Qualified source updates can also trigger checks. This rescreens identities; it does not analyze transaction patterns.
No. It checks chosen sanctions and watchlist sources and helps you review matches. Your wider AML process still needs other checks. These can include who the customer is, who owns a firm, and patterns in payments. Risk reviews and reports to regulators remain separate tasks.
SanctionsKit does not claim comprehensive PEP or adverse-media screening. Check the current source catalog for the coverage you can actually request. Use other services where your wider AML process requires those checks.
