Hear it from our customers

SmartSearch provided a solution that took away the administrative and timely burden of requiring potential clients to provide documentary evidence. Not only did it provide easy identity verification for individuals, but also a thorough breakdown of all necessary evidence for identifying companies, such as annual reports, certificate of incorporation and the AML of all influential stakeholders and directors. This far outshone the level of service we had previously received from the competitor.

We would not hesitate to recommend SmartSearch to anybody who wants to improve and enhance their AML compliance procedures.

Frequently Asked Questions

Using EV is by far the most reliable way to carry out know your customer and know your business checks on new and existing clients. As criminals produce ever-more sophisticated fraudulent versions of documents like passports and driving licences, EV can also verify official documentation quickly and reliably.

Electronic verification is widely recognised by regulators, product providers and professional bodies as probably the most reliable, secure and efficient source of information for identity solutions. Regulators need to remain impartial so don’t recognise any particular supplier.

The UK anti-money laundering regime requirements are set out in the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 (POCA 2002), the Money Laundering, Terrorist Financing and Transfer of Funds Regulations 2017 (MLR 2017), the Terrorism Act 2000 (TA 2000), the Crime and Security Act 2001 (ATCSA 2001) and the Terrorism Act 2006 (TA 2006).

Serious consequences, such as hefty fines, criminal prosecutions, and reputational harm, can arise from failing to meet AML requirements. Partners and staff members of the company can occasionally be held personally accountable and a fraud or failure to comply can significantly damage the reputation of a company.
