How Can AML Assist Help Your Business?

Reporting entities in Canada are required to comply with Proceeds of Crime (Money Laundering) and Terrorist Financing Act (PCMLTFA) obligations. AML Assist™ can help you verify your customer’s identity quickly and confidently so you can get back to the business of serving your customers.
Simplify Your Identity Verification
AML Assist offers two solutions which meet FINTRAC guidance to verify your consumer’s identity by comparing their data to their credit file and providing a clear result.
Improve Record Keeping
Manage your record-keeping requirements with a simple report that details each piece of information and provides a clear decision.
Low Friction
Minimize the friction that can be caused by disruptive identity verification processes by smoothly leveraging the profile information your customers provide during account creation.

How Does AML Assist Work?

Multiple Access Points
AML Assist can be added to the credit report or can be provided in a standalone report. It is available through our API or by accessing our customer platform.
Credit File Method
AML Assist Single Source meets the Credit File Method by comparing the consumer’s name, address, date of birth, and length of credit history to the credit file.
Dual-Process Method
AML Assist Dual Source fulfills the Dual-Process Method by comparing the consumer’s information against two trades or accounts, like a car loan, cell phone plan, or credit card.

Beyond Identity Verification

AML Assist also lets you add other Equifax products and services such as SafeScan®, as well as Politically Exposed Persons (PEP) and Global Sanctions List Screening, and Document Verification through KYC Connect.*
