AML in Engager brings your anti-money laundering (AML) work into one place. You can keep firm-wide guidance and templates, complete risk assessments for each client, run identity checks and see who owns and runs a company client.
Engager helps your firm meet its anti-money laundering obligations and keep a record of what you did. Your firm remains responsible for its own AML decisions. For advice on what your firm must do, speak to your supervisory body or read the guidance documents in the firm-wide AML area.
