Live Facial Matching & Biometric Verification: Combine AI-driven hybrid liveness detection with simultaneous facial recognition to confirm presence, consent, and identity.

Video Conference Identity Validation: Enable compliance staff to conduct non-face-to-face identity verification while on a live video call and automatically capture authentication logs.

Document Collection & eKYC Workflow Integration: Securely collect any type of supporting document such as proof of address, beneficial ownership, and source of funds within a single session.

Ongoing Monitoring for CDD & AML: Screen clients against sanctions, PEP, and adverse media databases in real-time.

Audit-Ready Logs & Case Management: Generate compliance logs, audit trails, and integrated risk ratings for legal files.

Global Coverage for Verify Clients Virtually

The iComply platform supports unique KYC refresh workflows and batch operations across 195 countries including:

Canada – iComply supports compliance with virtual verification policies from LSO, LSBC, LSA, and national FLSC guidance. Our workflows align with bar-approved standards for remote onboarding, video ID checks, and eKYC documentation.

United Kingdom – Our solution enables law firms to meet HM Land Registry’s Safe Harbour standards and Law Society guidance for non-face-to-face ID verification and property transaction due diligence.

Australia – iComply supports the ARNECC VOI Standard and Legal Profession Uniform Law, including Queensland Law Society VOI requirements. Verification methods can be tailored to meet MPR-compliant legal use cases.

European Union – We enable legal firms to comply with EU AML directives under 6AMLD and meet Law Society of Ireland guidance for secure remote onboarding, CDD, and AML compliance.

    Working with iComply has been a treat. Previously I was not responsible for KYC/KYB clients that I am working with, so this is all new to me. They took the time needed to make sure I understand the process, the different settings within the User Interface, and where I can find help if needed.
