What is Smart Compliance?
Smart Compliance from Lifetime Legal is a dedicated service that helps ensure businesses meet their obligations under The Money Laundering, Terrorist Financing, and Transfer of Funds (Information on the Payer) Regulations 2017. They offer a fully managed, end-to-end service that protects your company, frees up your employees' time, and minimises your risk—all at no cost to your agency.
Smart Compliance can be setup within your Street account allowing you to submit an AML check on owners and sales applicants at the click of a button.
Note - To use the integration, you need an account with Smart Compliance.
Before you can begin running Smart Compliance AML Checks in Street, you must setup the integration. For information on how to do this, see our Smart Compliance AML Integration help article.
Vendor Compliance Checks
Once you have setup the integration, from the property page you can scroll down until you see the Vendor Compliance Check card. Here you will see the option to submit a check
Sales Applicant Compliance Checks
Head to the either Sales Offer page or the Sales Progression page (and click into the notes section) and you will see the Applicant Compliance Check card on the right hand side:
With both Vendor and Applicant checks, you will be asked to enter the key information that is required. Most of their details will automatically pull from their person page (if those details are already saved) or you can manually add / edit them as needed.
Note - The client's date of birth, passport, national insurance number and licence number are all optional fields and we recommend not filling this information in as Smart Compliance will obtain this information from the client on your behalf.
After entering the relevant details, click continue and you'll finally be asked to enter when Smart Compliance should contact the client and some details about where you met the client and are they an individual / company and UK or non UK resident.
When you're ready, click Run Check and the details will be sent over to Smart Compliance.
Next steps after running the check
After running the check, the status will update to 'awaiting response' and will remain this way until Smart Compliance have ran the checks from their side and sent this through to Street:
Any event updates from Smart Compliance, such as a call-back scheduled or a voice mail messages left with the client, will display in Street with a notification on screen as well as on the compliance check card under a 'view updates' button.
When the checks have been completed, the compliance check status will update to 'failed' or 'passed', at which point you can view the report to see the details of the check.
If you are interested in understanding more about this, please contact the Street Support team on Live Chat who can pass your details over to Smart Compliance to arrange an introductory call.
