Let's make it easy.
It can be both on-chargeable and easy.
Regulatory complexity
Remove the burden and uncertainty while achieving just the right level of compliance without impacting customer experience through:
- source of wealth (SoW) and source of funds (SoF) auto collection
- auto alerts for PEPs, sanctions and adverse media
- perpetual document, decision and risk assessment storage making you audit-ready all the time.
Enhanced Due Diligence
Cross-checking clients against quickly-changing PEP and sanctions lists is good business as well as a key task for those with international clients. Source by First AML provides automatic client cross-checks conducted daily against the latest and cleanest global lists.

International companies
Complex entities, located across diverse geographies with overseas UBOs are the most difficult and time consuming to onboard. Source by First AML is designed specifically to address these entity types and in a way you can easily on-charge the cost of their verification and associated due diligence. In particular, the First AML platform significantly decreases the load associated with identifying:
- source of funds and source of wealth
- beneficial ownership chains
- organisational structures
Security and privacy
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.
Remediation
The First AML platform helps reduce risk by making sure that legacy KYC data is up-to-date, maintained and monitored continuously while new data is compliant from the start.
“We estimate between 50-80% less time is being spent on completing CDD and when you have a partner doing CDD with a charge-out rate over $400/hour it's a huge win.”
- Melissa Pauling, Business Improvements and Innovation Manager, Gibson Sheat Lawyer
