A uniquely exposed financial environment
Sports organisations handle enormous flows of money across borders and third-party relationships — yet the people behind those flows often go unscreened. That's the gap AML Watcher closes.
High-value player transfers
Transfer fees cross borders fast. Screen agents, intermediaries, and investors against sanctions, PEP, and watchlist databases before money moves.
Hidden ownership structures
Beneficial ownership in sports is routinely hidden. Leaks database and anti-bribery checks surface what registration records won't.
Unsanctioned intermediaries
Bright ideas deserve real-world traction. Show us your concept, and we’ll fuel it with free AML support.
Adverse media exposure
AML Watcher scans 50,000+ sources across languages, applying NLP sentiment analysis to flag entity-linked risk before it becomes a regulatory issue.
Multi-jurisdiction onboarding
Your entities come from everywhere. AML Watcher covers 235+ countries and screens in 80+ languages so geography never creates a blind spot.
Status changes post-onboarding
Risk doesn't stop at onboarding. Ongoing monitoring auto-alerts you when any entity's status changes across AML datasets, so you're never caught off guard.
