GoProposal AML offers three ID check options to suit different risk-based approaches. All checks screen for:
Politically Exposed Persons (PEPs)
Sanctioned individuals
Adverse media
Address and date of birth verification
The main differences lie in how each check verifies identity and the level of assurance each check provides.
Basic check
Requires client name, date of birth, and address
Returns results within minutes
Ideal if you meet clients face-to-face and store photographic ID evidence separately
Document check
Collects, verifies, and securely stores identity documents in the client record
Completed via a mobile-friendly web portal
Confirms the document is authentic and not forged
Includes PEP, sanctions, and address verification
Biometric check
Collects, verifies, and securely stores identity documents in the client record
Completed via a mobile app
Confirms document authenticity and performs facial similarity checks to match the client to the ID
Recommended for virtual accountants or firms that don’t meet clients in person
Commonly used in the banking and legal sectors for the highest level of assurance
Key difference between document and biometric checks
Document check: Confirms the ID document is genuine
Biometric check: Confirms the ID document is genuine and verifies the client’s face matches the document photo
If you don’t meet clients face-to-face, the biometric check provides the highest confidence in their identity
