AML Compliance Checks (Consumer App)

How sellers and landlords can submit their details for AML compliance checks via the consumer app

AML Compliance Checks via the Consumer App

If you have set up the Landmark AML integration set up, sellers and landlords can submit their details for AML compliance checks directly through the Street Consumer App. The process works the same way for both - both will see a 'Compliance Checks' task appear in their to-do list once the property has been instructed, and both follow the same steps to submit their details.

Tip! Buyers can also submit their AML details through the consumer app however for buyers, this is handled as part of the Buyer Ready process - see our Buyer Ready (Consumer App) help article for more information.

If you use the Smart Compliance integration, or manage your AML checks externally to Street, sellers and landlords will not be able to submit their details via the consumer app.

Compliance Checks Task

When a property has been instructed in Street, the seller or landlord will receive the 'Instruction Received' notification, asking them to download the app.

Note - This notification can be toggled on/off and the content can also be edited. For more information on managing this notification, see this help article. If you want to manage this for a specific property, see this help article.

Once logged in, they will see their property details and a Tasks section at the top of the Overview tab, showing their various tasks, including the 'Compliance Checks' task.

Submitting details

To get started, the seller or landlord clicks 'Get Started' and is guided through three steps: checking their details, uploading proof of ID, and uploading proof of address.

The first step asks them to confirm their personal details - including their name, email, phone number, date of birth, and address - as they appear on their identification documents and all fields in this step are mandatory.

Documentation

The next two steps allow them to upload identification documentation (such as a passport or driving licence) and proof of address (such as a utility bill or council tax bill). Documents can be uploaded from their device or taken as a new photo however both documentation steps are optional and can be skipped.

Note - Documentation (passport, driving licence, council tax bill etc) does not get sent to Landmark as part of the AML check, as it is not required. These documents are for your agency to retain, should you need them during an audit.

What happens after submission?

Once submitted, the details will appear in your Street account, either already submitted to Landmark automatically, or held for you to submit manually, depending on your Landmark AML integration settings.

Street is constantly being updated. This can mean that some of these articles become slightly out of date. If you spot something that looks a little bit different to your Street account, please let us know on the live chat so we can get it updated!
