Why accountants choose it

Fast identity checks without full AML complexity.

Run checks directly within TaxCalc Practice Manager, AML Centre or online via your browser. You don’t need AML Centre to use the service, making it ideal if you only need reliable ID checks.

How AML Identity Checking Service works

AML checking_online-registration

Verify identity using trusted data 

 Run electronic AML checks powered by Equifax to verify: 

  • Name, address and date of birth
  • Additional supporting data such as telephone and bank details
  • Sanctions lists
  • Politically Exposed Persons (PEPs), relatives and close associates

Checks can be run when onboarding new clients or periodically during ongoing due diligence for higher‑risk clients.

Why accountants love TaxCalc

Use standalone or as part of your wider AML approach

AML Identity Checking Service can be used on its own for fast, reliable ID checks, or alongside AML Centre for full firmwide AML compliance.

While identity checks confirm who your client is, AML Centre helps manage ongoing risk assessments, recordkeeping and evidence across the full client lifecycle.
