Checkboard are onboarding and verification specialists. We streamline your onboarding processes by incorporating due diligence checks such as KYC, AML, Biometric ID (in line with HM Land Registry Safe Harbour), and Source of Funds verification as well as enabling you to bypass any overheads by charging straight to the client if desired. With address verification in over 40 jurisdictions and 200 jurisdictions for ID verification.
By providing our clients with transaction-specific data, including accurate mortgage information, we are able to ensure legal and property professionals, such as conveyancers and estate agents identify any risks whilst speeding up both the onboarding and compliance process.
Our daily ongoing monitoring also alerts you should any detections appear within a year, giving you peace of mind throughout a transaction.
