    Buyer guide for UK law firms

    Compare legal client onboarding software.

    ID, KYC, KYB and AML checks matter. So do the forms, terms, Source of Funds evidence, signatures and risk review around them. Compare the complete process before choosing a supplier.

    How to compare

    Ask to see the awkward parts.

    The useful differences appear when a matter has several parties, gifted funds, missing evidence or a question that the client cannot answer first time.

    1. 01

      Start with the matter

      Check whether the software changes its requests by matter type, tenure and party role, or leaves your team to assemble the work each time.

    2. 02

      Look beyond ID and AML

      Client due diligence is one part of onboarding. Ask where forms, Client Care Letters, Source of Funds, signatures and the risk assessment sit.

    3. 03

      Follow the correction path

      A polished first submission is not enough. See what happens when one photograph, answer or document needs to be supplied again.

    4. 04

      Inspect the final file

      Ask to see the evidence, source references, decisions and history that remain when the onboarding work is complete.

    Competitor profiles

    Verify Client compared with five legal onboarding products.

    This comparison is based on information available from each supplier on 17 August 2026. Features and packaging change, so confirm any requirement directly with the supplier.

    Product focus

    Thirdfort describes identity, AML and Source of Funds work for legal professionals.

    Verify Client approach

    Verify Client is built around the whole matter record. The selected onboarding pack can assign checks, forms, documents and signing by matter and party, then use the submitted evidence to prepare a client and matter risk assessment draft.

    The useful comparison is whether your firm wants checks first or a single record for the wider onboarding pack.

    Product focus

    Legl presents legal onboarding, KYC, AML, Source of Funds and digital risk assessment workflows.

    Verify Client approach

    Verify Client keeps each person's work tied to the matter requirements. Its Source of Funds flow tracks the amount still to explain, handles reviewed donor invitations and keeps changed declarations separate from old evidence.

    Look closely at the Source of Funds correction and donor process if complex financial evidence is common in your work.

    Product focus

    InfoTrack eCOS describes a conveyancing suite with matter-specific questionnaires, ID and AML, transaction forms, Source of Funds, signing and client care packs.

    Verify Client approach

    Verify Client is a focused onboarding product for legal work. Reusable packs cover different matter types and tenure, while grouped corrections let the firm ask for the affected work again without reopening everything else.

    This distinction matters for firms that need flexible onboarding but do not want a wider conveyancing platform.

    Product focus

    Verify 365 describes biometric identity, AML, Source of Funds and Source of Wealth alongside forms and electronic signing.

    Verify Client approach

    Verify Client makes the matter requirements visible before the invitation goes out. Each party receives only the applicable work, and the firm can review evidence, exceptions and its decisions in the same record.

    The deciding point may be how much control fee earners need over party-specific requests and final review.

    Product focus

    Amiqus describes identity, AML, Source of Funds and risk assessment tools for regulated legal work.

    Verify Client approach

    Verify Client connects verification to the wider onboarding pack, including Client Care Letters, forms, official documents, signatures, donor work and a downloadable evidence record.

    Ask whether the same client link needs to carry checks, engagement documents and matter forms.

    Product and company names belong to their respective owners. Verify Client is not affiliated with or endorsed by the companies listed here. This is a general product comparison, not legal or compliance advice.

    Choose the work by matter type and tenure, then assign only what each party needs.

    Guided Source of Funds

    Keep the amount, each source, supporting files and reviewed donor work connected.

    Risk assessment draft

    Prepare suggested answers with confidence, rationale and cited onboarding evidence for fee-earner review.

    Focused corrections

    Ask for one affected item again without sending the client through completed work.

    Questions about comparing onboarding software.

    A practical starting point before a supplier demonstration.

    Is Verify Client a Thirdfort alternative?

    Yes, for firms comparing legal client onboarding products. Both can support identity, AML and Source of Funds work. Verify Client is designed to carry the wider matter-specific onboarding pack, including forms, Client Care Letters, signatures, donor work and an evidence-backed risk assessment draft.

    Does Verify Client make the compliance decision?

    No. Verify Client collects and organises evidence, surfaces exceptions and prepares review material. The firm reviews the evidence and records its own decision.

    Can Verify Client replace every product listed here?

    That depends on the services your firm uses. Verify Client covers individual and business verification alongside matter-specific forms, documents, Source of Funds and risk review. A product walkthrough should still use your real matter types and required systems.
