AML (Anti-Money Laundering) watchlist screening is a crucial process for regulated businesses, involving the automated comparison of individuals or entities against government sanctions, PEP registries, and adverse media databases to ensure compliance and mitigate risks. The dynamic nature of watchlists, which are updated frequently, necessitates both point-in-time screening during onboarding and continuous monitoring to capture new designations. Didit provides a comprehensive solution by aggregating over 1,300 watchlists into a single API call, employing a two-score model to differentiate between matching and risk assessment. This approach minimizes false positives and ensures that genuine hits are not missed, with a confirmation threshold set at 93. Continuous monitoring is priced at $0.07 per user per year, offering an affordable way to maintain compliance and avoid the penalties associated with sanctions violations. The service is particularly beneficial for industries like neobanks, payment processors, crypto exchanges, and lending platforms, where real-time and ongoing screening are critical for transaction and customer lifecycle management.
