    The 7-Step Workflow

    1

    Add parties

    Add each client or party involved in the matter. Each party will complete their own onboarding.

    2

    Add forms and documents

    Attach any required forms, documents, or the client care letter. These can be assigned to specific parties. All optional.

    3

    Send invite

    Send an onboarding link via email or SMS. The client receives a secure link to complete their submission.

    4

    Client completes submission

    The client uploads ID, takes a photograph, completes forms, and signs any required documents.

    5

    Run verification checks

    ID and AML checks run automatically. Manual checks can be triggered if needed.

    6

    Review and record decision

    Review check outcomes in Checks & Decisions. Record your firm decision for each party.

    7

    Generate evidence pack

    Go to Outputs & Audit tab to generate a complete evidence pack for your file.

    How Long It Takes
