What is ongoing or recurring AML? How does it work?

2 min. readlast update: 09.18.2024

Ongoing AML Screening is the periodic rescreening of your customers in AML databases, to ensure that your customers remain good actors throughout your entire relationship with them.

This rescreening is run automatically every day, and frequency can be set differently for different screening types (KYC, Manual ID Scan, Manual AML Scan, Business AML and Address AML). To configure required frequency, contact our support.

To review completed Ongoing AML Screenings and detected AML Changes in the GlobalPass Portal, navigate to AML Screenings -> Ongoing. Here you will find a log of all ongoing AML scans performed on your screenings and their results.

Ongoing AML scan service runs daily, and each screening is individually re-screened based on your configured frequency (daily /once every week/month/quarter / etc.).

❗ IMPORTANT: For screening to be included in Ongoing AML flow, Ongoing AML has to be activated for the screening type, Screening Status has to be Accepted and the Screening State has to be Active.

If there are AML changes in any screening, in this log you will see an indication that AML has changed, followed by the match strength of the AML change (High ≥95%, Medium 85-94%, Low <85%).

How to detect Ongoing AML Changes:

The section in which the change was detected will be highlighted (Red for New matches, Yellow for Updated matches).

Updated means that the match already existed, but there is new information available about it that you can review by clicking the dropdown button.

New means that the match did not exist before and is completely new and therefore requires special attention.

To review the Ongoing AML Changes, you must mark all the changed (updated and new) matches in the ongoing AML screening as reviewed, following the same reviewing interface as described above. Once all the changed matches will be reviewed, the reviewer’s email will be listed in ‘Reviewed By’ column of the ongoing AML screening.

If a change (Updated tag) is found on a match that was already reviewed before, the review of the match will turn gray, indicating, that an updated review is pending:

Once a new review will be added, the highlight of the review will once more turn red or green, depending on the review’s result.


Note that if the match in the case above would have been Whitelisted, it would not have triggered an AML Change, there would not be an Updated tag, and the underline would have remained green or red, depending on the result of the last review.
