Know your customer services

Money laundering and financing of terrorism risks can have a detrimental effect on the reputation of both businesses and individuals. To address these risks, regulated firms are required to perform thorough Know Your Customer (KYC) checks. Robust customer due diligence (CDD) is an integral part of a comprehensive risk management framework.

Our goal is to effectively assist you in the development and integration of highly effective KYC practices that align with jurisdictional regulations and industry best practices. Alongside our KYC services, we also offer comprehensive AML solutions designed to detect and prevent money laundering activities. Our compliance professionals are dedicated to addressing your queries and assisting with any issues highlighted by prospective investors.

Our cost-effective compliance oversight service relieves the pressures of investor review, empowering you to prioritise deal activity and achieve favourable investor and client outcomes.
