The challenge
Why AML matters in Crypto Exchanges.
Exchanges and other virtual asset service providers onboard customers at speed and in volume, often across borders, under regulatory expectations that now closely track those for banks. Sanctions and PEP screening, identity verification, and Travel Rule information all have to happen at the point of sign-up, and any friction there shows up directly as lost conversions.
The balancing act is speed against control. Checks need to run in real time inside the product, false positives have to stay low so genuine users are not blocked, and the customer base has to be re-screened as watchlists move, because a clean result at signup does not stay clean.
MemberCheck delivers this through an API built for high throughput: real-time sanctions, PEP, and adverse-media screening with identity verification in the same flow, ongoing re-screening as lists change, and screening of transfer parties to support Travel Rule obligations, with everything logged for audit.
How MemberCheck helps
All solutions →Built into how your team already works.
Identity verification
Verify customer identity documents and data as part of the same onboarding call, so KYC and screening happen together. This supports the customer identification VASPs are required to perform.
API-first integration
Embed screening and verification directly into your onboarding and account systems through the MemberCheck API. Checks run inside your product rather than in a separate console.
Ongoing re-screening
Re-screen the customer base as sanctions and PEP lists change, so a customer cleared at signup is reviewed again when a new listing affects them. Alerts route into a review queue.
Travel Rule support
Screen the parties to a transfer to support Travel Rule obligations on originator and beneficiary information. Findings are logged for reporting and audit.

FAQ
Common questions.
Can screening run fast enough for real-time crypto onboarding?
Yes. MemberCheck returns screening results in around a second through the API, which is fast enough to run inside a live onboarding flow without stalling sign-ups.
Does MemberCheck help with Travel Rule obligations?
MemberCheck screens the parties involved in a transfer and logs the results, supporting the customer and counterparty checks that sit alongside Travel Rule information sharing.
How do you reduce onboarding friction while still screening everyone?
Configurable matching thresholds and secondary identifiers cut false positives, so genuine customers pass through automatically and only real matches are held for review.
Are customers re-screened after they are onboarded?
Yes. Ongoing monitoring re-screens your customer base as watchlists change, so a customer cleared at signup is reviewed again when a new sanctions or PEP listing affects them.
