Strengthen Your AML System by Validating International Lists

In anti-money laundering (AML) processes, delayed detection is one of the greatest risks. Not because organizations lack commitment to compliance, but because they often rely on manual processes, fragmented searches, or incomplete data sources.
When an individual or entity linked to sanctions, financial crimes, or terrorist financing goes undetected, the impact goes far beyond operational concerns: the exposure quickly becomes regulatory, legal, and reputational.

The Silent Problem in Due Diligence

Validating clients, counterparties, and third parties should be a fast, traceable, and reliable process.
However, in practice, many organizations still face challenges such as:

• Manually checking lists from multiple sources
  
  
• Lack of visibility into international risks
  
  
• Using tools limited to local lists
  
  
• Difficulty justifying decisions during audits
  
  
• Risk of missing sanctioned individuals or entities
  
  

These obstacles not only increase operational burden but also heighten exposure to regulatory risk.

The Importance of International Lists in a Global Environment

Today, even organizations with primarily local operations are exposed to international risks. Clients, suppliers, business partners, or counterparties may be directly or indirectly connected to jurisdictions, sanctions, or lists not covered by local sources.
For this reason, centralized access to reliable international watchlists is a critical component of any modern AML framework.

Pirani Lists Module Evolves to Expand Risk Coverage

Pirani Lists Module has always been part of the AML system, facilitating the validation of individuals and entities during due diligence processes.
Today, it takes a step further through a new strategic partnership that significantly expands its scope.
Through a strategic integration with a specialized European sanctions data provider, the Lists Module now enables automated screening across multiple international sanctions lists, centralizing results in a single platform.

This integration enables matching names of individuals and entities to identify potential links with:

• International sanctions
  
• Financial crimes
• Politically Exposed Persons (PEPs)
• High-risk jurisdictions
  
  

All within a streamlined, traceable, and auditable workflow aligned with regulatory requirements and global compliance standards.

Bulk List Queries
When the number of clients or counterparties grows, validating them one by one becomes impractical.
With bulk queries, you can:

• Upload a file with multiple records to validate

• Launch a new bulk search in a single step

• Track how many records were successfully processed

• Review results in a structured format

• Maintain a complete history of bulk searches for traceability and control
  
  

This significantly reduces operational time and simplifies onboarding, periodic reviews, and audits.

Continuous List Monitoring
Not all clients require the same level of monitoring.
Continuous monitoring enables you to focus enhanced oversight where it is truly needed
With this feature, you can:

• Select clients or counterparties requiring enhanced due diligence
• Configure monitoring individually
• Receive alerts if a monitored person or entity appears on a new or updated list
  
  

📌 Important:
Each package includes a specific number of monitoring actions per year.
