Sanctions lists, politically exposed persons, adverse media, and regulatory watchlists checked in under two seconds against 1,300+ data sources across 200+ jurisdictions. Hypersign runs AML screening as a native layer of the verification workflow, not a bolt-on from a separate vendor.
Trusted by 2,000+ organisations across fintech, crypto, iGaming, and regulated industries.
Feature Overview
Everything You Need to Screen for Financial Crime Risk
Six independent screening layers, unified in a single API call with one structured verdict.
Sanctions Screening
Check every individual and entity against OFAC, EU, UN, HMT, and G20 national lists in a single API call.
PEP Detection
Identify politically exposed persons across four classification levels, including relatives and close associates.
Adverse Media Monitoring
Scan news and media sources for negative coverage fraud allegations, criminal proceedings, regulatory actions.
Ongoing Monitoring
Continuously re-screen enrolled users. Receive webhook alerts the moment a status changes.
Match Scoring Engine
Receive a numeric identity confidence score and a separate risk severity score for every match returned.
Corporate & UBO Screening
Screen businesses and their ultimate beneficial owners in the same workflow used for individuals.
Sanctions Screening
Every major list. One call.
Sanctions obligations come from multiple authorities simultaneously. Running them as separate point solutions adds cost, latency, and coordination overhead. Hypersign consolidates the full set into a single screening call OFAC, EU, UN, HMT, G20 national lists, and your own custom deny lists.
PEP Screening
Four levels of political exposure.
A politically exposed person carries elevated financial crime risk by virtue of their public position or proximity to one. Hypersign classifies exposure across four levels from heads of state to relatives and close associates so your compliance team can calibrate the response proportionately.
Adverse Media Screening
Risk that doesn't appear on any list.
Sanctions lists and PEP databases cover what regulators have already acted on. Adverse media screening surfaces what they haven't yet formalised criminal allegations, fraud investigations, regulatory referrals, and reputational risk signals before they escalate into a formal designation.
Ongoing Monitoring
Risk changes after onboarding.
A customer who passes AML screening today may appear on a sanctions list next quarter. Static, one-time screening at onboarding is a compliance gap that regulators are increasingly citing in enforcement actions. Hypersign continuously re-screens every enrolled entity and fires webhook alerts the moment a status changes.
Match Scoring Engine
Confidence and risk as separate dimensions.
A common failure in AML screening is too many false positives. A name like "Mohammed Ali" may match thousands of records. Hypersign returns two independent scores a Match Score for identity confidence and a Risk Score for severity so your team can prioritise what matters without being buried in noise.
Corporate & UBO Screening
Businesses and their beneficial owners.
Shell companies, anonymous holding structures, and complex ownership chains are standard methods for concealing the identity of the party with actual control. Hypersign screens corporate entities and traces their ultimate beneficial owners within the same workflow checking each UBO against the full sanctions, PEP, and adverse media stack.

AML Screening That Satisfies Regulators
Certifications
Regulatory Frameworks
Government Recognition: Spain's financial authorities Tesoro, SEPBLAC, and Banco de España have formally recognised that Hypersign's identity and compliance verification process meets the highest standards of assurance. This is the only such attestation issued by an EU member-state government to a digital identity provider.
Detection Layers
Multiple Detection Layers. One Clear Verdict.
AML risk does not come from a single direction. Hypersign applies independent screening layers so that a subject who does not appear on one source is still caught by another.
Layer 1 Sanctions
OFAC SDN, OFAC Consolidated, EU Consolidated, UN Security Council, HMT Financial Sanctions, G20 national lists, and custom lists checked simultaneously.
Layer 2 Political Exposure
Four-level PEP classification with relatives and close associates. Source references returned for every match to support documented compliance decisions.
Layer 3 Adverse Media
Global and regional news, court records, regulatory announcements, and enforcement publications scanned across six risk categories.
Layer 4 Enforcement & Regulatory
Regulatory enforcement orders, licence revocations, fines, censures, and fitness-and-probity flags published by financial regulators across 200+ jurisdictions.
Layer 5 Fitness, Probity & Insolvency
Disqualified directors, bankrupt individuals, and entities subject to insolvency proceedings sourced from national company registries and court records.
Layer 6 Ongoing Monitoring
All of the above, re-run daily for every enrolled entity. New hits trigger webhook alerts immediately. Compliance teams act on changes, not periodic manual re-checks.

AML Screening Inside Your KYC Workflow
One Platform vs. Multiple Vendors
Running AML and identity through separate vendors means two contracts, two integrations, two audit trails, and a gap your compliance team bridges manually.
Why Hypersign
One Platform. Every Compliance Requirement.
Most AML vendors return a match result. Hypersign connects that result to the full compliance workflow one integration, one contract, one compliance audit.
