Ateshgah Life
Continuous AML monitoring for life insurance.
Screened around the clock
About the Story
Ateshgah Life is Azerbaijan’s first life insurance company (Baku, 1998), part of the Ateshgah Insurance Group, serving major clients like BP and the country’s mobile operators. Under CBA and FMS rules it must run KYC, real-time sanctions and PEP screening and high-risk monitoring, but its team did this by hand across several databases, where a sign-up check went stale the moment a customer later landed on a list.
With Sanction Scanner, manual review became an automated check in seconds, wired into its insurance software via API. Ateshgah consolidated sanctions, PEP and monitoring into one platform with real-time list updates, and now screens 3,000+ customers continuously, around the clock, with a traceable audit trail for CBA and FMS, and no friction added to the sale.
“We went from checking customers one by one to a single platform that screens more than 3,000 of them around the clock, so our analysts can finally focus on real risk. I’d recommend it to any insurer.”Ulviyya Akhundzada Head of Compliance & Monitoring Division, Ateshgah Life
