Effortless compliance: a solution for modern accountancy firms

In today’s fast-changing regulatory landscape, accountancy firms are required to meet strict standards for anti-money laundering (AML) compliance, all while maintaining efficient operations. The challenge? Achieving compliance without spending too much time or resources.

That’s where Amiqus steps in. Designed to support firms with compliance and client due diligence, Amiqus provides a powerful digital platform to streamline AML and KYC checks.

From verifying a client’s identity to checking their source of funds, Amiqus automates these processes, allowing you to focus on what matters most: growing your firm.

Whether your prospective client is in the same city or across the country, you don’t need to see them in person or spend time emailing back and forth to collect their documents. Simply send a check request via the secure Amiqus platform, and the client provides the required information on their device, anytime, anywhere. Almost instantly, you’ll have a verification report ready for review.
