Compliance
What is AML (Anti-Money Laundering)?
AML refers to the laws, controls, and monitoring that detect and prevent the use of payments to launder illicit funds. For cross-border payments it spans transaction monitoring, sanctions screening, suspicious-activity reporting, and recordkeeping. AML obligations are continuous, jurisdiction-specific, and a core part of any payment platform's compliance posture.
AML sits alongside KYC: KYC verifies who the customer is at onboarding, AML monitors what they do over time. Both are non-negotiable controls that orchestration platforms embed into the payment path rather than bolting on afterward.
