Identity fraud is one of the most common tactics used by criminals to carry out financial crime, so it’s crucial to take precautionary measures to avoid getting caught up in business with the wrong people. To know your customer means to know exactly who they are and what their intentions are—and be sure they are a genuine, trustworthy business.
Our international ID checks are designed to verify your clients’ identity, to give you greater peace of mind and protection. Our ID checks are carried out online, removing the hassle of face-to-face verification, streamlining your onboarding processes, and ensuring you’re meeting AML compliance regulations.
How our international ID checks work
Our international ID check technology searches through identity documents across numerous international data sources including the full electoral role, departure and mortality registers, birth index registers, and more.
You’ll only wait a few seconds for identity documents to be consolidated against the market-leading databases we use, so you’ll find out whether your client has passed the identity check or further investigation needs to take place.
The functions of our international ID checks
Our international ID checks are designed to:
- Create a smoother client onboarding journey: By removing the need for your clients’ identity to be validated in person, our ID checks speed up the onboarding significantly and save you time and money at the same time.
- Maintain compliance: Knowing exactly who your customers are is crucial to carrying out business in line with the Money Laundering Regulations 2017 (amended in 2019). So our ID checks help you to remain compliant.
