Built for high availability and security, the solution is designed with an "API-first" philosophy. It allows financial institutions to seamlessly integrate complex compliance workflows—from data submission to decisioning—directly into their core banking or financial systems. The platform operates on a strict core data model that links three primary objects: * **Customers:** The foundational entities (individuals or organizations). * **Accounts:** Financial identifiers linked to customers. * **Operations:** Transactions associated with accounts. This interconnected structure ensures that all monitoring and screening activities are contextually accurate, audit-ready, and correctly attributed to the specific entity. ## The AMLYZE API The AMLYZE API is a comprehensive suite of tools designed to embed automated Anti-Money Laundering (AML) compliance workflows directly into your application. It provides the necessary endpoints to manage customer lifecycle, screen entities against various watchlists, and monitor transactions in both real-time and retrospectively. The AMLYZE API delivers three core capabilities to automate your compliance program: * **Customer Risk Assessment:** Enables dynamic risk scoring for new and existing clients through a powerful, configurable rule engine to automate risk-based decisioning. * **Transaction Monitoring:** Facilitates both real-time (pre-transaction) and retrospective (post-transaction) analysis of financial operations to detect and flag suspicious activity. * **Screening:** Checks customers, related entities (like UBOs or directors), and transaction counterparties against global Sanctions, Politically Exposed Persons (PEP), Adverse Media, and custom internal watchlists. In addition to supporting single-object requests, the AMLYZE API also supports bulk imports of customers, operations, and accounts. While the API facilitates the immediate transmission of data, the AMLYZE solution utilizes **webhooks** for asynchronous communication. This ensures that time-intensive processes—such as detailed retrospective analysis or manual case investigations—do not impact the performance of your client-facing application. Results and status updates are pushed back to your system automatically as they are completed. To support time-critical flows like instant payments (e.g., SEPA Instant), the API employs a dual-queue architecture, routing real-time operations to a dedicated "Priority Queue" distinct from the "Regular Queue" used for background tasks. This segregation guarantees that instant payments receive near-immediate compliance decisions, meeting strict SLAs without interference from heavy batch processing loads.
