Perform AML Screening
You can run this check immediately via our Demo Postman collection. It's publicly available and doesn't require an account.
Overview of flow
AML screening API flow
1. Create a client
The first step in creating any check is to create a client from your backend server. A client can be a person or a company. For a person, you must provide their first name and last name. Only the name is required for a company.
Note: Though it's not a strict requirement, we highly recommend you provide a client's date of birth.
