Financial crime screening
AML & PEPs Checks
Screen applicants against AML, PEPs, sanctions, and financial crime watchlists.
Short answer
An AML check screens a person against anti-money laundering, sanctions, and politically exposed person data. For letting agents, it supports financial crime compliance.
MyChecksAI keeps AML screening in the same workflow as the rest of the tenant reference, so agents can review financial crime checks alongside identity, employment, landlord, and affordability information.
