What is an International Individual Check?

Regulated firms in the UK have a legal obligation to run comprehensive client due diligence checks on all new clients at onboarding, including identification, verification, screening for sanctions and politically exposed persons (PEPs) and enhanced due diligence if any risks are identified. This is called an individual check.

UK businesses must perform individual checks on all clients, but most verification platforms only offer this level of due diligence for UK-based individuals. An International Individual Check – also known as a global identity verification check - is a comprehensive AML compliance check that is able to verify an individual from outside of the UK.

We found that SmartSearch’s International Individual Check solution was very user friendly and that it very much mirrored that of a normal UK individual Search in terms of the ease of use, speed of results and the quality of the data returned. This solution will be a great asset for us when onboarding international clients in the future. We would be happy to recommend SmartSearch International Individual Check to other businesses.
