In today’s world, online fraud and digital hacks are on the rise, making it more important than ever for regulated businesses to verify the identities of their clients. This is especially true for law firms, who are required to comply with anti-money laundering (AML) regulations.
Compliance with these regulations is critical for protecting law firms’ clients from fraud and ensuring the integrity of the legal system. In this article, we’ll explore how Verify 365’s biometric facial recognition technology and proprietary biometric risk engine, DynamicID, can help law firms comply with AML regulations and streamline their KYC (know your customer) process.
AML Regulations for Law Firms
Law firms are subject to AML regulations, which require them to perform due diligence checks and verify the identities of their clients. The goal of these regulations is to prevent money laundering, terrorist financing, and other illicit activities. Failure to comply with AML regulations can result in severe consequences such as hefty fines, reputational damage, and criminal prosecution.
KYC Challenges for Law Firms
KYC checks are an essential part of AML compliance for law firms. However, traditional KYC methods such as document verification and physical checks can be time-consuming and prone to errors. Law firms may lack the necessary technology and expertise to carry out KYC checks efficiently. Additionally, KYC checks can be a burden on the client, requiring them to provide extensive documentation and attend in-person meetings.

Verify 365’s biometric facial recognition technology uses artificial intelligence to analyse facial features and compare them to government-issued identification documents. The technology ensures a secure and accurate identification process, reducing the risk of identity fraud and money laundering. DynamicID, Verify 365’s proprietary biometric risk engine, further enhances the security of the identification process by using machine learning algorithms to analyse multiple biometric factors such as facial features, voice, and behavior. With biometric facial recognition and DynamicID, law firms can verify the identity of their clients in a matter of seconds, making the KYC process quicker and more efficient.
