We’re creating a world where businesses are safe from fraudsters and money launderers

Our specialist team created one of the first electronic AML platforms in the early 2000s, and has been innovating ever since

When we launched our first electronic AML solution in 2004, regulatory bodies were nervous about using electronic identification methods instead of physical documents such as a driver's license, Social Security card or a United States Passport. But our pioneering approach proved to be ahead of its time. Fast forward to now, and Electronic Verification (EV) is not just a viable alternative to manual checks, it is the most robust, reliable and efficient identity verification solution. The BSA states electronic methods can be used to verify a customer's identity as part of the client’s risk-based procedures outlined within the Customer Identification/ AML Program.

Most US AML solutions provide either ID checks, Sanction and Politically Exposed Person (PEP) screening or ongoing monitoring. SmartSearch is different; it can perform all three, making it the only Customer Identification Platform (CIP) that provides full AML checks, Sanction, PEP and adverse information screening, and ongoing monitoring all from one easy to use platform.
