Running an AML check on a new client

Running an AML check

Accupe integrates with leading identity verification providers to help you meet your anti-money laundering obligations.

How to run a check

1. Open the client's profile.
2. Go to the Compliance tab.
3. Click Run AML Check.
4. Confirm the client's full name, date of birth, and address.
5. Click Submit.

Reading the results

Results typically return within seconds. You will see:

• Pass means the individual has been verified with no adverse findings.
• Refer means manual review is needed due to partial matches.
• Fail means the check has flagged significant concerns.

What to do with a Refer result

1. Review the flagged information in the detailed report.
2. Collect additional identification from the client if needed.
3. Document your decision in the Notes section.
4. Mark the check as Resolved once you are satisfied.

Record keeping

All AML checks are permanently logged in the client's compliance timeline. These records are retained for a minimum of five years as required by UK Money Laundering Regulations 2017.

Important: An AML check does not replace your professional judgement. Always apply your firm's risk-based approach alongside automated checks.
