A quick sanctions and AML risk snapshot, in minutes. Your answers are used only to calculate your score, then discarded. We don't store them, and we never share your data with third parties.
Anti-money laundering (AML) rules are formally mandated for regulated sectors, financial services, legal, accountancy, property and a handful of others, under the UK's Money Laundering Regulations. But the underlying risk isn't limited to those industries.
Sanctions law applies to every UK business, regardless of sector. Knowingly or unknowingly doing business with a sanctioned individual or entity is a criminal offence, whether you've ever thought about "compliance" or not.
UK law has been closing this gap. The Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act introduced a new corporate offence for failing to prevent fraud, extending accountability well beyond traditionally regulated firms.
Internationally, the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) sets the standards that the UK, EU and US each implement through their own regimes: different names, the same core idea. Know who you're dealing with, screen them properly, and keep watching.
Verifying who you're actually dealing with before you take them on.
Checking names against official watchlists, not just at onboarding but on an ongoing basis.
Risk doesn't stay static once a relationship begins; it needs revisiting over time.
Knowing what to do, and who to tell, if something looks wrong.
Our free PEPs & Sanctions Screening covers the sanctions-screening piece of this in minutes. It's a starting point, not a substitute for full due diligence.
