AI-Powered Screening

False Positives Are Not A Threshold Problem. They Are A Data Problem.

Your compliance team spends 80% of its time on alerts that don't matter. The problem isn't your team, it's the data feeding your screening.

Most screening databases carry bare minimum identifiers. AML Watcher's proprietary data is 66% more enriched with year of birth, nationalities, and relative and close associate (RCA) linkages, the contextual layer that makes accurate matching possible in the first place.

Proof of Concept

See How Your Names Actually Match

The AML industry has struggled with false positives for years, with up to 90% of AML alerts still turning out to be noise.

AML Watcher is changing that. While many providers rely on broad claims, AML Watcher focuses on measurable performance that can be proven in real-world testing.

In a structured POC across 100,000 entities using customer data, AML Watcher reduced false positives by 44% and false negatives by 15%, demonstrating that stronger precision and better risk detection can coexist.

Experience Fewer False Alerts
Transaction Monitoring

Screening and transaction monitoring. One platform. One platform. One audit trail.

Most compliance stacks force your team to manage screening and transaction monitoring in two disconnected systems. AML Watcher brings them together.

AML Watcher's Transaction Monitoring module supports fully configurable rule scenarios, AI-driven typology detection, and real-time alert triggering — all connected to the same entity screening engine that powers your PEP, sanctions, and adverse media checks.

Every TM alert is documented with the same audit-defensible rationale as your screening decisions. When regulators ask, you have a single, coherent compliance record — not a patchwork of vendor exports.
