The compliance pressures law firms face

From false AML positives to slow onboarding, manual processes cost time and create real risk. Kord is built around the problems law firms actually encounter.

Meeting the Safe Harbour identity standard

Conveyancers must verify client identity via NFC passport scan and biometric facial recognition. Competitors with low completion rates create risk and friction at the point of onboarding.

Kord outcome

96.1% scan completion: Kord’s NFC + facial flow leads the market on first-attempt success.

Too many false positives in AML checks

High false positive rates block legitimate clients, slow transactions, and make it harder to identify genuine risk, wasting compliance team time across the board.

Kord outcome

97.6% false positive detection on PEP checks with custom algorithm.

Slow onboarding causing friction

Disconnected systems mean clients receive separate links for ID, source of funds, and payments. This increases drop-off and creates friction between compliance and finance teams.

Kord outcome

One link completes ID, compliance and payment, cutting drop off.

One flow. Three capabilities

Kord is modular but delivered as flows, not isolated tools. A client receives one link and completes ID, compliance, and payment in a single workflow.

AML and data checks

AML, KYC, and source-of-funds checks drawing on regulated access to credit files, mortgage data, and financial history. Ongoing monitoring for PEPs, sanctions, mortality, and adverse media runs automatically for 12 months post-onboarding.

Payments

Collect and disburse client funds in the same workflow. Payment requests are sent as part of the onboarding flow, with no separate chasing required.

What sets Kord apart

Kord is the only platform in the market offering onboarding, compliance data, and payments together, with regulated access to financial data that no direct AML competitor holds.

Data advantage

Regulated access to consumer credit data

Kord holds specific permissions to access granular financial data directly from source, including mortgage balances, account numbers, credit history.

Platform advantage

The only provider combining onboarding, data, and payments

Most competitors offer compliance tools only. Kord enables firms to collect and disburse client funds in the same workflow, reducing the number of platforms your team has to manage.

Compliance advantage

Custom algorithm that cuts false positives

Kord’s proprietary match-rate algorithm assigns a percentage to each AML case. Only genuine risk crosses the flagging threshold, so legitimate clients aren’t blocked and your team can focus on real issues.

Security and integration

ISO 27001, regulated payments, single API

Kord meets the highest standards of information security and requires only one API to integrate with your existing case management system. Our team provides hands-on integration support from day one.
