Global AML footprint SmartSearch has established a broad UK and international AML verification platform with Sanction, PEP, UBO, and adverse media screening, plus ongoing monitoring. This presents an opportunity to upsell to mid to large regulated firms expanding cross-border operations or needing enhanced due diligence for international clients.

Fast verification edge The platform delivers individual AML checks in two seconds and business checks in under three minutes, highlighting a strong value proposition for time-sensitive onboarding. Sales opportunities exist with lenders, fintechs, and financial services that require rapid customer verification to reduce friction and dropout rates.

Strategic partnerships Recent partnerships and acquisitions, including Twenty7Tec collaboration and Credas Technologies Ltd integration, indicate a growth-by-acquisition and partner ecosystem strategy. Target potential channel partners in wealth, mortgages, and property sectors to expand go-to-market reach and cross-sell complementary verifications.
