AFC Entity Radar › Anti-financial crime
Anti-financial crime (AFC) check
Anti-financial crime (AFC) covers everything an institution does to prevent money laundering, terrorist financing, sanctions breaches, fraud, bribery and corruption. AFC Entity Radar brings the public-source part of an AFC investigation into one explainable screen.
Financial crime risks covered
- Money laundering and terrorist financing red flags
- Sanctions evasion (UN, EU, US OFAC, UK and more)
- Bribery and corruption through politically exposed persons (PEPs) and their relatives
- Fraud, banking crime and credit crime mentions in public records and news
- Tax evasion and hidden ownership through offshore structures
- High-risk jurisdictions (FATF grey and black list, EU list)
Built for FCIU and FCO teams
Every alert investigation starts with the same open-source checks. AFC Entity Radar runs them in parallel and returns a 0–100 risk score with the evidence behind every point, so analysts spend their time judging instead of searching. Results can be exported to CSV or JSON for the case file and the four-eyes review.
Regulatory background
AFC programmes follow the FATF Recommendations, the EU AML package (AML Regulation 2024/1624 and the new AMLA), national laws such as the German Geldwäschegesetz (GwG), the UK Money Laundering Regulations and the US Bank Secrecy Act. Screening against sanctions lists, PEP checks and adverse media screening are core customer due diligence steps in all of them.
Frequently asked questions
What does AFC stand for?
Anti-financial crime: the combined prevention of money laundering, terrorist financing, sanctions breaches, fraud, bribery and corruption.
Is AFC the same as AML?
AML (anti-money laundering) is one part of AFC. AFC also covers sanctions, fraud, bribery and corruption.
Can this replace our screening system?
No. It is an open-source research tool that supports, but does not replace, your institution's regulated screening and decision process.
