Wallet Screening & Transactions Screening for AML Compliance | Elliptic

1 min read Original article ↗

Integrating crypto wallet screening into your existing AML compliance workflow typically involves three main steps: API integration, policy configuration and workflow automation. Most organizations integrate wallet screening through APIs that connect directly to their existing compliance management systems or transaction monitoring platforms. The integration process begins by mapping your risk appetite to screening parameters. You will configure risk thresholds based on factors like sanctions exposure, criminal activity associations, mixing service usage and transaction patterns. For customer onboarding, wallet screening typically occurs after initial KYC verification when customers provide wallet addresses. The screening results feed into your existing risk scoring models, potentially triggering enhanced due diligence procedures. Transaction monitoring integration involves screening both source and destination addresses in real-time or batch processing modes. Most platforms support multiple integration methods including REST APIs, webhooks for real-time alerts and bulk screening capabilities for periodic portfolio reviews.
