The AML Screening with ID endpoint is a powerful, combined-flow feature that streamlines user onboarding and compliance checks. Instead of making two separate API calls (one to verify an ID and another to perform AML screening), this endpoint handles both simultaneously.
It first verifies the provided identity document (e.g., BVN, NIN, Passport). Upon successful verification, the system automatically extracts the verified identity details (such as First Name, Last Name, and Date of Birth) and immediately performs a comprehensive Anti-Money Laundering (AML) screening, which includes checking against global Sanction lists and PEP (Politically Exposed Persons) databases.
Key Benefits:
Enhanced Security: AML checks are run against authenticated, government-verified data rather than user-supplied input.
Reduced Latency: Combines two processes into a single API request, speeding up your user onboarding flow.
Cost Efficiency: Streamlined billing directly from your wallet for both the ID verification and the AML screening in a single transaction.
Name Matching (Optional): Automatically compares the name you have on file with the verified name returned from the ID to ensure they match.
