How to run a screening
Step-by-step instructions on screening an individual against global watchlists.
Screening a client is the core of your AML obligations. Here is how to do it efficiently in Clear AML.
- Navigate to the Client: Open the client's profile from the Clients list.
- Initiate Screening: Click the "Run Screening" button in the Action Strip on the right side of the screen.
- Confirm Details: Ensure the client's full legal name, Date of Birth, and known addresses are accurate. The better the input data, the fewer false positives you will receive.
- Review Results: The system will scan global PEP, Sanctions, and Adverse Media databases. Results usually appear within seconds.
- Resolve Matches: If matches are found, you must review them. If it's a false positive, mark it as "Cleared" and provide a brief reason. If it's a true match, you will be prompted to escalate the client's risk rating.
