Anti-money-laundering

Approve the genuine in minutes. Flag the rest in seconds.

Slow screening loses deals. Loose screening lets risk walk in. ClearSignal clears low-risk customers fast, kills false-positive noise, and turns your AML policy into rules that decide the same way every time.

The cost of slow screening

Screen too slow and deals walk. Screen too loose and risk walks straight in.

01

Onboarding delays cost revenue

Every day a genuine customer waits for clearance is a day they go to a competitor.

02

False positives burn hours

Teams spend half their time clearing obvious non-matches. Time that real risk never gets.

03

Inconsistent calls fail audit

When one reviewer approves what another escalates, that’s a process problem inspectors will find.

One-off screen vs. continuous

A clean check today isn’t clean forever.

Same customer, same 90 days. Flip between a one-off onboarding screen and ClearSignal monitoring, and watch what a single check would never have caught.

⏸ Screened once · 94 days ago

Screened once. Then blind.

You cleared them at onboarding and moved on. Every change since has been invisible to you, including the sanctions listing.

What changes with ClearSignal

Faster approvals. Less noise. Defensible by default.

01

Approve genuine customers in minutes

Low-risk customers clear fast, so good business doesn’t walk while you wait and revenue keeps moving.

02

Cut false-positive noise

AI sorts true risk from non-matches and explains why. Your team stops clearing obvious noise and catches what matters.

03

Audit-ready by default

Every decision preserved with rationale, sources and timestamps. Nothing to reconstruct when inspectors arrive.

How it works

From your policy to a signed-off decision.

AI triage, clear evidence, full audit trail: one workflow.

1

Define your risk appetite

Turn your AML policy into structured rules: match thresholds, PEP proximity, adverse-media severity, escalation triggers. Your risk appetite becomes logic the system enforces consistently.

2

Screen against global data sources

Sanctions (UN, EU, OFAC, HMT), PEPs, watchlists, adverse media, insolvency records and disqualifications. 1,000+ sources queried in real time, with sub-second response.

3

AI sorts what matters

The Decision Assistant applies your rules and surfaces the highest-risk cases first. You see clear reasoning: match quality, relationship proximity, date relevance — not a vague score.

4

Review with context

Investigators see article summaries, relationship proximity and date relevance. Ask the Report Chatbot follow-up questions and get cited answers. No tab-hunting.

5

Sign off with an audit trail

Outcome, rationale and evidence are captured automatically: sources queried, AI reasoning, reviewer actions, timestamps. Defensible by default.

Capabilities

Built for regulated businesses.

Screen, investigate and sign off, with a full audit trail built in.

Sanctions & watchlist screening

Screen against official lists (UN, EU, OFAC, HMT) and government watchlists, updated in real time. AI flags proximity matches and aliases, not just exact name hits.

PEP screening & proximity

Identify Politically Exposed Persons and their associates. AI assesses proximity (direct PEP, close associate, family) and explains the relevance with context.

Adverse media monitoring

Scans national, international and trade press continuously. Alerts surface during the decision workflow, even mid-review, so you catch breaking news before you approve.

Policy-to-Rules engine

Upload your AML policy and ClearSignal turns it into screening rules automatically: thresholds, escalation criteria, review workflows. No manual setup.

Report Chatbot for investigations

Ask AML reports questions (“does this person have enforcement actions?”) and get cited answers on the spot. Faster investigations, cleaner handovers.

Continuous monitoring

Ongoing surveillance for sanctions changes, new adverse media, status updates and watchlist additions, sorted by your policy rules rather than raw noise.

Defensible by default

Every decision, preserved end to end.

Black-box scores don’t survive an inspection. ClearSignal logs the sources queried, the matches returned, the AI’s reasoning, every investigator action and the final sign-off. Regulators can see exactly how and why each call was made.

Frequently asked

The questions compliance teams ask first.

Three things most providers don’t have:

  • Policy-to-Rules engine: upload your AML policy and it becomes screening logic automatically: match thresholds, PEP proximity, escalation criteria. No manual setup.
  • Transparent AI triage: the Decision Assistant sorts hits by real risk and explains why — match quality, relationship proximity, date relevance. Reasoning, not black-box scores.
  • Report Chatbot: ask AML reports questions and get cited answers, for faster investigations and cleaner handovers.

Every decision is preserved with a full audit trail. You’re defensible by default.

The Decision Assistant applies contextual analysis, not just keyword matching:

  • Match quality: confidence based on name similarity, alias matches and data quality.
  • Relationship proximity: direct PEP vs. close associate vs. distant connection.
  • Date relevance: a 2005 enforcement action vs. breaking news this week.
  • Article context: it reads the adverse media and judges relevance (“arrested” vs. “wins award”).

Your team sees genuine threats first, not hours of low-confidence noise.

Yes, and it’s automated. Paste your policy (PDF, Word or text) and the Policy-to-Rules engine extracts enforceable logic: match thresholds, PEP proximity rules, adverse-media severity levels and escalation triggers. It’s designed to work out of the box; edit if you need to.

Every check is logged with complete context: the data sources queried, all matches returned (including dismissed false positives), the AI’s rationale, every investigator action, and the final sign-off with reviewer identity and timestamp. Regulators can see exactly how and why each decision was made.

1,000+ global sources, queried in real time:

  • Sanctions & watchlists: UN, EU, OFAC, HM Treasury, INTERPOL and national agencies.
  • PEP databases: current and former PEPs, associates and family across 200+ jurisdictions.
  • Adverse media: national, international and trade press, plus regulatory and court records.
  • Company intelligence: director disqualifications, insolvency events and enforcement actions.

Most customers are live the same day. Paste your AML policy and rules are extracted automatically; a dedicated specialist walks your investigators through the UI in 30–60 minutes; optional API connections land same-day for standard integrations.
