What is AML Analytics?
Founded in 2010 and headquartered in Hampshire, England, AML Analytics provides testing and validation technology for financial-crime controls. It serves 50+ supervisory authorities and 1,450+ financial institutions in nearly 60 countries.
AML Analytics (AMLA) provides independent testing, validation and benchmarking for sanctions-screening and transaction-monitoring systems. Its tools generate controlled test datasets, including sanctions-name manipulations and synthetic transaction scenarios, then compare customer results with benchmark or expected outcomes. The platform is used by financial institutions, supervisors and other regulated organizations to identify weaknesses, measure control effectiveness and support evidence-based reporting to regulators.
The product range covers self-service sanctions testing through Sandbox, peer benchmarking through Global Benchmark, result analysis through Analyser Online, tailored Annual Assurance Testing, transaction-monitoring health checks and recurring validation through TMV, and free sanctions-list alerts through SAS/SAT. Public materials document AMLA Hub single sign-on and ORBS integration, but do not identify connectors to named third-party screening or monitoring vendors. Public security pages describe testing without customer-data access, but do not verify specific certifications or infrastructure controls.
AMLA sells subscription services such as Global Benchmark and Annual Assurance Testing, while its Sanctions Alert Service is described as free. Dollar pricing, named paid tiers, free-trial terms and volume schedules are not publicly disclosed, so buyers should expect a quote-based process for commercial products. The company says it serves more than 1,450 financial institutions and 50 supervisory authorities across nearly 60 countries, with work spanning traditional and non-traditional financial institutions.

AML Analytics tests and benchmarks existing financial-crime controls rather than replacing the underlying screening or monitoring system. Buyers considering ComplyAdvantage should distinguish the purchase of operational controls from the independent validation and assurance role described here.
