Running A Screening On A Client

Running a screening is a single dialog. Fill in the risk rating checklist, capture the PEP attestation, submit. We handle the rest.

Opening The Dialog

1. Go to AML Screening in the sidebar.
2. Click + New Screening.
3. Pick the client (search by name) - or open a client profile and click Run Screening from their Compliance tab.

Filling In The Checklist

The dialog walks you through the risk rating checklist. Tick the relevant risk and mitigation factors. As you tick, the computed risk level (High / Medium / Low / None) updates on the right.

Capturing The PEP Attestation

If the checklist flags PEP attestation as required (mandatory under FINTRAC for any politically exposed person), you have two paths:

• Capture it yourself - fill in the PEP form right in the dialog (you've verified with the client).
• Send a token-gated form to the borrower - they fill it in themselves via a secure link.

Full details: PEP Attestation.

Submitting

Click Run Screening. We:

1. Call our screening provider with the client's identity info.
2. Wait for results (usually seconds).
3. Save the screening, the checklist snapshot, and the PEP attestation.
4. Set the re-screening date based on the assigned risk level.
5. Auto-open an EDD case if the screening returned a high-risk PEP, foreign PEP, or family/associate match. See Managing EDD Cases.

Standard Vs Extensive Checks

We run two screening tiers:

• Standard - used for low/medium risk clients. Core lists.
• Extensive - used automatically for high-risk clients. Broader scope.

You don't pick the tier - it's set by the computed risk level.

What You See After

The completed screening shows up in the AML Screening table with:
