AML - Biometric checks

Secure remote checks for maximum assurance and optimum security

Failure to comply with AML regulations has seen many businesses over time faced with painful penalties and significant reputational loss—sometimes even resulting in business closure.

We know compliance processes can be time-consuming and manually laborious, but keeping on top of them is crucial in order to adhere to the recommendations and legislation in place to tackle this type of financial crime—particularly if you own a regulated entity.

Our biometric checks aim to take the hassle of compliance off your hands and make it much more efficient. With less time needed to complete checks, your employees get valuable time back, and your customers get a streamlined onboarding experience.

Client identity checks in seconds

Our biometric checks are simple to conduct:

  1. A user from your firm requests a biometric check via the Veriphy platform—this can be done as part of a full AML check, or as a single check.
  2. Veriphy sends an SMS and/or an email to your client.
  3. Your client is directed to the Veriphy site.
  4. Your client is prompted to scan an ID document—this is either a passport or GB driving license.
  5. Your client is directed to our liveness check, requiring them to take a selfie.
  6. Our system then compares the ID documents and the selfie for similarity.
  7. An email notification will be sent when the results are ready as a report within the secure Veriphy platform—this will include images and document details.
