Features

Ongoing monitoring portfolio

Every AML-cleared agency in one place, with next review dates, overdue flags, open alerts and one-click reassessment.

Choose provider per check

Pick which provider runs each check — OpenSanctions, TrustID, Equifax or the free UK lists — and switch off providers you don't use.

Policies & documents

One place for internal processes, policies and the business-wide risk assessment, with versions, review dates and full history.

OpenSanctions PEP screening

Check people and agencies against worldwide PEP data from OpenSanctions; sanctions use the free UK Sanctions List, with possible matches flagged for review.

Mandrill request emails

Email private identity and agency request links on staff instruction, using a verified Mandrill sender once connected.

Visual AML workflow

Follow onboarding, individual checks, independent clearance and ongoing monitoring, with responsible roles and decision points.

Agency register

One record per recruitment agency with company details, ownership, documents and every outstanding check.

Companies House lookup

Search and pull registered details, officers and owners. Retrieved data is never treated as verified.

Ownership confirmation

Declared owners, controllers and authorised representatives recorded against the registry.

UK sanctions and tax defaulter lists

Download the UK Sanctions List and HMRC deliberate tax defaulters list and check every person and agency on file.

Identity confirmation links

Send a director or owner a private, expiring link to confirm their details and upload photo ID and proof of address, with postcode address lookup.

Screening and evidence

Record sanctions, PEP and adverse media results with source, reference and checksummed evidence.

Risk scoring and EDD

Versioned risk assessments with mandatory blocks and enhanced due diligence triggers.

Independent approval

Approval routing by risk, independent approvers, Authorised Deputy delegation and locked clearance records.

Controlled activation

Agencies can only go live once AML cleared — enforced by the system, not by process.

Confidential MLRO escalation

Raise concerns privately to the MLRO, outside the normal case view.

Ongoing monitoring

Review schedule, P1–P4 alerts, standard outcomes, daily sweep and Companies House change alerts.

Agency information portal

Single-use, revocable links for agencies to supply missing information.

Full audit trail

Every change is logged and cannot be edited. Printable evidence report for each agency.

Roles and permissions

A plain statement of what each of the ten roles can do, checked against the permissions the system enforces.
