How do I perform an AML check on a payee who may be subject to sanctions in Calmony?

Use the AML, R2R & ID Check widget on a payee's profile, or select the option from the Actions menu, to initiate a sanctions and AML check. Make sure the International Sanctions and PEP toggle is switched to Yes.

When a payee appears as a potential match on the Calmony Sanctions Monitoring list, or when you wish to carry out an AML check for any other reason, you can initiate a check directly from that individual's profile.

Viewing fuzzy match details

Before performing an AML check, you can review the full match details for a payee:

  1. Open the payee's profile from the Payees list or the Sanctions Monitoring list
  2. On the payee's overview page, locate the UK Sanctions Check widget
  3. Click View Match Details to see the full breakdown, including overall score, identity match percentage, bank account match, and details of the sanctioned individual the payee has been matched against (including aliases, regime, and sanctions applied)

This information allows you to make an informed decision about whether to proceed with a formal AML check.

Performing an AML check

There are two ways to begin an AML check on an individual:

  • From the Sanctions Monitoring list: click Perform AML Check in the Info column next to the relevant payee
  • From the payee's profile: click the Perform AML Check button within the AML, R2R & ID Check widget, or go to Actions in the top right and select AML, R2R & ID Check

Configuring the check

A pop-up screen will appear where you can select:

  • Check Type (e.g., Calmony AML Check)
  • SMS template to send with the check

On the following screen, you can configure which elements to include in the check. You must ensure the International Sanctions and PEP toggle is switched to YES to include sanctions and Politically Exposed Persons screening.

Other available check options include:

  • ID Verification (required on all check types)
  • Standard Checks
  • Credit Status
  • Bank Account Check
  • Ownership Check

Click AML, R2R & ID Check to submit the check.

Checking the status

Once submitted, the AML & ID Check widget on the payee's profile will update to show the check status. You can click Open Check at any time to view the current status and details. The AML, R2R & ID Checks section in the left-hand navigation of the payee's profile also shows a full log of all checks, where you can click into individual checks, view status updates from Credas, and cancel a check if needed.

Once a check is completed, a PDF report will appear under Documents on the payee's profile.
