Frequently Asked Questions

1Is Veriphy recognised by the regulators?
With the introduction of the 5th EU Money Laundering Directive, electronic verification has been encouraged strongly and endorsed by regulators and professional bodies.

Whilst regulators wish to remain impartial, Veriphy has been recognised by the Joint Money Laundering Steering Group (JMLSG) - the leader for Money Laundering assistance from which the FCA, ICAEW, CCAB, OFT and Law Society draw guidance.
2Where does our data come from?
Our aim is to aggregate best of breed data and make it available with maximum flexibility. We source our data from the best possible suppliers & market leaders - LexisNexis, Equifax, Experian, BT, Royal Mail, HM Treasury, OFAC, Creditsafe, GBG, LawyerChecker and GlobalX.

Our databases are also regularly updated in order to ensure we have access to the most in-depth and broadest data sources available.
3Is the data secure?
All transmissions to and from our servers are encrypted using GlobalSign certificates. GlobalSign is the world’s leading organisation in the field of online security.
4Does Veriphy provide a pay-as-you-go service?
We aim to bring flexibility to compliance in order to marry regulatory compliance with commercial need. This means we charge our clients only for the checks they do.

No checks - no charge.

In addition:
  • Registration is free - no set up fees.
  • No over-priced search packages
  • No contract term
  • No restrictive minimum or maximum usage caps

We invoice monthly in arrears with 30-days terms. Just to reiterate you will not be required to subscribe to any search packages nor be required to meet a minimum usage quota.

7What are the benefits of Electronic Verification?
Using Veriphy helps towards swift and easy compliance with the Money Laundering Regulations. Our checks are in full accordance with the stipulations of the Joint Money Laundering Steering Group (JMLSG), from which the FCA, ICAEW, CCAB, OFT and Law Society draw guidance.

There are several advantages to using electronic AML checks:
  • They are quick, simple and client-friendly, and are provided at a disbursable cost.
  • They allow you access to information that is either unavailable non-electronically or very time-consuming to research. This includes the full electoral register, financial, mortality and relocation data. It also crucially includes PEP and Sanctions data, which is increasingly important, and is only available on-line.
A Veriphy online Electronic Money Laundering Check typically takes less than 3 seconds.

8How much does Veriphy cost?
We believe in transparent pricing with no hidden extras. The only thing you will ever pay for is the checks you carry out via our system.

Our pricing reflects the quality of our data and our commitment to never restrict our users via an expensive subscription contract.

However, we do offer competitive volume reduction rates for our AML checks upon request. Please contact our sales team for a bespoke quote.
9Can we integrate with Veriphy?
Yes, some of our clients prefer to integrate Veriphy checks into their own software. Veriphy offers secure web services that integrate with ease. The system presents the results in industry standard XML format.

Once again, there is no charge for doing this – we believe that you should only ever pay for the checks you do and nothing more.

Please do get in touch if you would like further details support@veriphy.com
10Do I need to be registered with the Information Commissioner's Office?
Yes, as a user of our services you are required to be registered with the ICO because you will be processing and accessing personal information. Registering is extremely simple and can be done at the ICO Government Website.
