CDD in minutes, with long-term evidence retention and shareable outputs.
Why this segment is under pressure
Europe’s refreshed AML framework raises the bar for obliged entities on CDD, beneficial ownership, targeted financial sanctions, record retention and reporting. Regulators increasingly penalize firms for missing firm-wide risk assessments and adequate procedures — even absent proven laundering. For small practices, the risk is time pressure and documentation gaps.
Searching multiple sites, saving screenshots, and emailing PDFs is fragile: evidence scatters across drives, re-checks are hard to prove, and billable hours are lost. UK enforcement shows paperwork failures alone can attract fines. A light, auditable process that logs who checked what and why a match occurred reduces audit anxiety and satisfies regulators.
Common challenges we see
- Repetitive manual searches eat billable hours
- Evidence retention and retrieval requirements
- Securely sharing findings with clients and counterparties
How MatchAudit helps teams like yours
- One-click client checks with reason codes
- Searchable audit logs with role-based access
- Branded PDFs, CSV exports and secure share links
Built for lean teams that still need bank-grade evidence: freight forwarders, SMEs in trade, boutique firms, NGOs, fintechs, marketplaces and platforms.
Recommended workflows
Most teams start with dashboard checks, add CSV batches as volumes rise, and then move to API/webhooks for full automation. For this segment, we typically recommend:
- Dashboard for intake
- Batch for periodic reviews
- API for practice tools (optional)
