Effortless bidder and seller due diligence for auctions and auctioneers
Solve your auction firm's toughest compliance challenges.
Let's make it simple and fast.
Speed to onboard & pre-verification
Auctioneers must confirm a buyer's identity before accepting their bid. However, the traditional method of collecting bank statements and ID documents has become an obstacle.
Our digital AML solution not only accelerates transactions but also helps minimize the risk of unsuccessful deals by verifying funds prior to receiving a paddle.
Public API
Eliminate the need for bidders to go through a separate verification process, which can be time-consuming and cumbersome. Bidders can seamlessly verify their identities without having to leave the signup flow of your auction.
By staying within the auction firm's signup flow, bidders can easily and quickly complete the verification process, enabling them to participate in the auction as soon as possible.
Check bidder entities anywhere
Check bidder identities online from anywhere at any time. Complex entities, located across diverse geographies with overseas UBOs are our specialty. We'll help you meet AML requirements through a pre-packaged view of your client including:
- source of funds and source of wealth
- beneficial ownership chains
- organisational structures
Regulatory complexity
Remove the uncertainty of increasingly complex and nuanced regulation on both your team and bidders:
- continuous alignment against standards and recommendations set by HMRC
- auto alerts for PEPs, sanctions and adverse media based on the cleanest and newest lists
- perpetual document, decision and risk assessment storage for ESG and audit requirements.
Secure storage for easy retrieval
First AML meets global-standard, multi-layered security protocols ensuring you and your clients are protected from:
- Reputational risks related to catastrophic ‘black swan’ breaches
- Financial risks caused by non-compliance or data breaches.
