AML / Sanctions Screening
Anti-money laundering checks built into the network at the protocol level, not bolted on after the fact.
Definition
AML (Anti-Money Laundering) and sanctions screening are built into the FORUS network at the protocol level through UDPN integration and Compliance Nodes. Rather than being bolted on as an afterthought, compliance is a first-class concern — transactions are screened against sanctions lists and monitored for suspicious patterns in real time. This reduces enforcement costs for governments, creates regulatory certainty for fintechs, and ensures that the network operates lawfully across all jurisdictions. The programmatic enforcement through Compliance Nodes means compliance scales with the network automatically.
Regulatory enforcement nodes that programmatically apply jurisdictional rules within the network.
Progressive identity verification — basic access with minimal friction, higher limits as trust is established.
FATF requirement for sharing originator/beneficiary information in cross-border transfers — enforced natively.
Compliance framework enabling fintechs to operate under established regulatory structures.
