KYC and AML Tooling: Questions to Ask Vendors

Choosing KYC and AML technology is a long term commitment. Ask these questions before you sign.

KYC, sanctions screening and transaction monitoring tools sit at the heart of an operator’s compliance. Changing them later is disruptive, so choose carefully.

Coverage and Accuracy

  • Which document types and countries are supported for your markets?
  • How are false positives handled and tuned?
  • How often are sanctions and PEP lists updated?

Integration

  • Is there a well documented API, and a sandbox for testing?
  • How does the tool integrate with your platform, CRM and back office?
  • What happens if the service is unavailable during onboarding?

Data and Security

  • Where is data stored and processed?
  • What retention and deletion controls exist?
  • Which security certifications does the vendor hold?

Audit and Reporting

  • Can you show auditors exactly which checks were performed and when?
  • Are decisions and overrides logged with user details?

Commercials and Support

  • How is pricing calculated as volumes grow?
  • What support hours and response times are guaranteed?
