Creating a world where businesses are safe from fraudsters and money launderers

SmartSearch_OfficeLifestyle_Feb25_014

Our team was responsible for creating one of the very first electronic AML services back in the early 2000s

Back then, regulatory bodies did not accept electronic identification as a viable alternative to documents such as passports, driving licenses and utility bills. But now, it is recognised as the most reliable, secure and efficient source of information for identity solutions, with the Fifth Money Laundering Directive now stipulating that electronic identification should be used wherever possible.

Now we’re multiple award winning and one of the fastest growing tech companies in the U.K

Our unique and innovative online platform enables our customers to electronically identify UK and international individuals and businesses. It is the only Know Your Customer (KYC) solution that also provides full sanction and Politically Exposed Person (PEP) screening and ongoing monitoring, allowing clients to use this one piece of technology for all their AML compliance needs.
