## What is anti-money laundering software?

Researched by: [Capterra](https://www.capterra.com/resources/author/capterra/)

Updated on April 1, 2026

[Anti-money laundering (AML) software](https://www.capterra.com/aml-software/) is a software platform that helps financial institutions monitor transactions to identify money laundering activities. It also assists businesses in monitoring cash and check deposits to prevent financial crime.

AML software tools help verify the profiles of clients by conducting background checks on them and ensuring their names don’t feature on any wanted lists. These tools also filter clients based on financial risk levels so companies can select the right customers to do business.

## Benefits of anti-money laundering software

-   **Simplifies transaction monitoring:** AML software eliminates the need to monitor transactions manually. It analyzes large volumes of transactional data much quicker and with greater accuracy than a human, thereby improving the accuracy of detecting fraudulent monetary exchanges or laundering activity.
    
-   **Onboards and assesses clients:** AML software actively analyzes the historical information of customers and scans for any illicit or suspicious transaction that they may have undertaken. While manual inspections might miss such instances, AML software provides more accuracy as well as eliminates manual workload for your inspection team.
    
-   **Ensures compliance adherence:** AML software solutions help your business comply with industry-specific AML regulations by screening clients against global politically exposed person (PEP) and sanctions watchlists.

## Typical features of anti-money laundering software

-   **Know your customer (KYC) verification:** Validate clients’ identities through name, address, and date of birth verification, and monitor their financial behavior to determine risk levels. 
-   **Customer filtering:** Filter customers into different buckets based on their risk levels, identity verification status, past transactions, and more.
    
-   **Remittance and payment screening:** Screen business payments and customer remittances, and get instant notifications in case of any suspicious activity or illicit payment. 
-   **Audit management and reporting:** Conduct financial audits for your business to ensure you’re following every AML regulation, and create financial reports to submit to authorities or regulatory bodies.
    
-   **Transaction monitoring:** Identify suspicious patterns in business transactions by analyzing historical data, and flag accounts associated with any suspicious transaction.
    
-   **Compliance management:** Maintain AML compliance and customer due diligence to prevent fraudulent business transactions and enable seamless payments.

## The cost of anti-money laundering software

Most AML compliance software on the market are priced on a per-verification basis and can be divided into three pricing tiers based on their starting prices.

**Price ranges:\***

-   $1.44 - $2
    
-   $3 - $113 
-   $114+ 

_\*The pricing included is for the entry-level/lowest-priced offering found on vendor websites on September 27, 2022. These ranges correspond to the 25th, 75th, and 100th percentiles of pricing information gathered from vendor websites of sample products._

The above list summarizes pricing for the base plans of most products. An enterprise or premium product that is priced higher may include additional features such as AI fraud detection and an ML-based customer screening and filtering engine.

## Considerations when buying anti-money laundering software

-   **Check whether the software follows regulatory updates.** Each year, new anti-money laundering rules and regulations are released to tackle fraud, and the software you choose should stay updated with these changes. When evaluating products, ask vendors how often they release updates for their AML software.
    
-   **Assess product onboarding and customer support.** Any new AML solution shouldn't be too difficult to use, and it certainly helps if it comes with training modules and resources for your team. Also, the vendor you select should offer robust customer support in case of software glitches. Make sure to ask about training and support resources when buying new software.
    
-   **Check for user roles and access permissions.** An ideal AML software tool should have an administrative dashboard that lets you give role-based access to your team members to access data and safeguard critical information from outsiders. Make sure the software you select has such a feature in place.
