AML

AML (Anti-Money Laundering) is the regulatory framework and operational programme that detects, prevents, and reports illicit fund movement through transaction monitoring, suspicious-activity reporting (SAR), and ongoing customer-due-diligence (CDD) reviews.

How it works in practice

AML programmes may use transaction monitoring, investigations, and regulatory reporting to assess illicit fund movement. Those obligations belong with the responsible operator and its monitoring programme.

Fraud Intercept can surface linked-risk evidence at supported deposit and withdrawal events. Fraud Intercept is not an AML transaction-monitoring system and does not file suspicious-activity reports.

Why it matters for fraud prevention

AML obligations remain with the responsible operator and its monitoring programme. Linked-risk evidence may inform operator controls without being described as an AML compliance product.

How Fraud Intercept contributes cross-operator velocity and Identity-Graph signals to an operator AML programme is covered on the fintech vertical page, alongside the transaction-monitoring patterns that AML obligations require.
