What our clients say

We have been using Smartsearch for our AML and ID verification for approximately 2 years and I have to say, I’m extremely impressed and more than satisfied with the products that are available. The one-stop-shop dashboard is extremely easy to use. This simplifies the client onboarding process no end, regardless of where the client is residing

TThey provide a superb AML compliance service, which is quick, comprehensive, efficient and streamlined, and we have found it to be of great benefit in helping us meet our AML obligations.
Mr G W Thompson

Benson Wood

The platform saves us a huge amount of time over collecting documents manually, and being able to carry out individual, business and ID document checks all on one platform is fantastic. Combine that with the constant monitoring for PEPs/Sanctions and, again, the easy to use Due Diligence dashboard and it really makes life easy.
Gail Kirrage

Kounnis and Partners

Since the introduction of SmartSearch we have been incredibly impressed with the results. Not only is the process incredibly easy but it integrates with our back office system, allowing us to conduct robust KYC checks on new and existing clients with the click of a button. This ease of use has proved a huge hit with both Prism’s Financial Advisers as well as our administrative staff

Tower Leasing Limited use SmartSearch for Beneficial Owner identification as part of our financial crime screening process when onboarding customers. Their system is easy to use, reduces search time and identifies any potential risks at the touch of a button. The reports are clear, concise and the monitoring function is great for alerting us if customers’ Sanctions or PEP status changes.

One of the main reasons SmartSearch searches are so effective is due to them checking against two different credit agencies for client verification, and the SmartSearch customer service are always avilable if i need any guidance using the system.
Mr Levent Altin

Overall I would highly recommend Smartsearch as a system as it quite simply is so easy to use. Speed and accuracy are the key within an financial capacity and Smartsearch as system allows AML checks to be performed with these two key factors in mind. We look forward to using the tool within in our daily roles in the years to come.

Before we joined SmartSearch 5 months ago, we were conducting all our AML checks manually, using paper documents. The difference for our compliance in terms of time and effort between then and now is staggering. We have been so impressed with the platform and customer service so far. The platform itself is really user friendly, carrying out our AML checks is now so quick and easy.

Customer Due Diligence and KYC

KYC (Know Your Customer) checks, are background checks that should be carried out as part of your risk-based approach. The KYC process involves the verification of the customer's identity, using documents like photographic ID, proof of date of birth and proof of address. This can be done manually, with physical documentation, but it's faster and more reliable to do it electronically, with data sourced online.

Customer due diligence (or CDD) is a longer process which continues after the customer has been onboarded, and includes checks like sanctions and PEP screening, to continuously assess the risk-level that a customer poses to a business.

Both KYC and CDD are crucial aspects of AML compliance. Regulated firms must identify and verify anyone they work with, to ensure they identify any potential high-risk clients and making companies less vulnerable to money laundering, as well as other financial crime.

Firms in finance, property, law and insurance are legally obliged to comply with these AML regulations, as well as art markets and other high-value dealers. The compliance of these sectors contributes to the wider battle against financial crime, and protects firms within them from the risk of money laundering too.
