Landmark Information Group today announced a deal with The Co-operative Legal Services (CLS) to use its Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Financial Asset Search (FAS).
James Sherwood-Rogers, Managing Director of Landmark Legal & Financial, said: “CLS provides a comprehensive suite of consumer legal services and we are delighted they have selected Landmark’s Anti-Money Laundering tool and Financial Asset Search as their solutions of choice for their extensive client base."
Launched in 2006 as part of The Co-operative Group, the largest consumer-owned co-operative in the UK with in excess of 5.5 million members and over 21 million customers, CLS claims to be an industry leader in many areas of law including conveyancing.
Eddie Ryan Managing Director of CLS said: "Championing our member’s interests has always been central to The Co-operative Group’s strategy. Landmark has proven expertise and a reputation for superb services. We are impressed by Landmark AML and Landmark FAS, which both add value to our current services and we have already seen fantastic results for our clients.
Landmark AML is a customer due diligence verification tool that analyses a range of sources to assist in compliance with AML legislation. Conveyancers can undertake checks on the electronic search system, which provides a full audit trail and carries out both positive and negative checks on the background of clients. Checks include government databases such as the Politically Exposed Persons (PEP) list and terrorist sanctions files.
