Charges for Identity and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) checks
We are required under the UK Money Laundering Regulations to carry out client due diligence for all new clients and matters, and, where appropriate for existing clients from time to time. These checks help protect you, us, and the wider financial system from fraud and financial crime. The checks we carry out include:
- Identity and verification checks - completed electronically via our trusted external provider or manually, by means of certified ID documents;
- Screening checks - covering politically exposed persons (PEPs), sanctions, and adverse media searches, carried out electronically through our external provider; and
- Source of funds and source of wealth checks - performed electronically where possible or manually, if further information or review is required.
We charge additional fees for these checks to cover the costs of the systems and processes we use. The fees charged are for each person / organisation and for each new matter and are set out in our letter of engagement.
