Simplifying AML Compliance: Introducing Amiqus
The landscape of anti-money laundering (AML) regulation is constantly evolving, accompanied by an increase in sanctions. Safeguarding clients' personal data, conducting KYC/AML checks, screening employees, and preventing involvement in international money laundering or criminal financing can seem like a full-time job for legal professionals. The average law firm spends at least four days per month on paper-based compliance, draining resources and losing money in billable hours. However, with Amiqus, these firms can digitally verify and onboard clients 4x faster and turn hours of manual administrative work into minutes of online activity.
Trusted by firms of all sizes across the UK, including Addleshaw Goddard, Burness Paul, Thorntons etc, Amiqus is a market-leading encrypted online tool for onboarding and compliance checks. It offers the easiest and most secure solution to gather client information and AML documentation and verify it to the highest standard.
