AML name screening for Malaysia

Affordable AML name screening for Malaysian businesses

Semak AML helps company secretaries, accountants, lawyers, real estate agents, dealers in precious metals and other non-financial reporting institutions screen customer names when they take on new customers, at a cost small firms can manage.

Who it is for

Bank Negara Malaysia's AML/CFT framework does not only cover banks. Designated non-financial businesses and professions (DNFBPs) are reporting institutions too, and customer due diligence when onboarding a new customer usually includes screening the customer's name. Many DNFBPs are small and medium-sized firms that cannot justify expensive screening tools. Semak AML is built for them.

  • Company secretaries
  • Accountants
  • Lawyers
  • Real estate agents
  • Dealers in precious metals
  • Other DNFBPs

How it works

  1. Sign in

    Log in with your password and a one-time code sent to your email (two-step login).

  2. Enter a name

    Type the customer's name and the identifying details the form asks for. Each name search uses one prepaid token.

  3. Review potential matches

    We send the name to our third-party screening data provider and show the potential matches it returns. Your staff record their review and notes. You make the decision.

  4. Download the PDF report

    Generate a point-in-time PDF report of the search and your review, then keep it in your own records.
