Overview
The First AML and Actionstep integration helps firms apply AML policy the same way every time, without manual interpretation.
Intake tags trigger the right risk assessments and escalation paths automatically. Verified clients are reused to reduce friction, while status and evidence write back to the matter so compliance leads have clear oversight and audit-ready files.
Favourite features
Tag-driven workflow automation
At case creation, users select whether the matter is Client Intake, Matter Intake or both. This applies structured tags that drive downstream automation.
Tags can trigger the appropriate client or matter risk assessment, document requirements, EDD and approval workflows - ensuring proportionate compliance without relying on manual interpretation.
Full AML execution with status sync and write-back
All AML activity; ID verification, screening, risk assessment, review and approval, is completed in First AML with a full audit trail.
Actionstep is automatically updated with AML status, risk levels and a direct link to the case. An AML summary PDF is saved to the matter, providing clear, defensible evidence on file.
Intelligent client reuse
First AML recognises existing Actionstep contacts and automatically retrieves their First AML profile after the first verification.
This reduces duplicate checks and repeat requests, reduces client frustration, speeds up new matters and maintains continuity in client risk history across the firm.
The Actionstep / First AML integration is a massive time saver. It's great and everyone loves it. My team saves 26 hours a day in manual work. Blah blah blah.
Someone awesome, some company
