Common AML compliance challenges faced by growing teams
Evolving Global Regulations
Keeping up with ever-changing AML laws across jurisdictions drains legal and operational resources.
Too many sources, too little confidence
Managing sanctions, PEP, and media data across hundreds of lists is overwhelming — and puts your compliance at risk when sources are outdated or incomplete.
Rigid Contracts, Minimal Support
Many AML providers push you into enterprise deals — but offer little flexibility, slow responses, and no real customization.

Anti-Money Laundering (AML) monitoring involves screening individuals and companies against sanctions lists, PEP databases, and other high-risk sources. Dataspike’s real-time AML solution automates this process, scores the risk level, and provides instant compliance reports.
2. What’s the difference between AML screening and transaction monitoring?
AML screening checks people or entities against sanctions and PEP lists during onboarding and updates. Transaction monitoring tracks financial behavior over time to detect patterns that may indicate money laundering.
3. What are common red flags in AML monitoring?
Red flags include unusually large transactions, transfers to high-risk jurisdictions, structured payments to avoid reporting, or sudden changes in customer behavior.
4. What makes Dataspike’s AML solution unique?
Dataspike offers real-time risk scoring, ongoing monitoring, and full compliance reporting — without requiring a dedicated compliance team. Use it via dashboard or API and only pay for what you use.
