AMLHUB integrates with RealMe to fight money laundering

AMLHUB has completed a year-long integration with the government’s RealMe verified identity service, making it possible for users to onboard customers quickly and securely using RealMe.

AMLHUB managing director Richard Manthel believes the platform itself, and its recent integration with RealMe, is a game changer for key sectors such as law, accountancy, banking and real estate, grappling with the AML/CFT customer verification requirements and record keeping.

“RealMe is the country’s gold standard identity verification service. These days, it’s much quicker and easier to use. It helps businesses reduce risk by removing the need to store and protect their clients’ personal information. For Kiwis, once you’re RealMe verified, you can instantly and remotely prove who you are, saving both time and worry,” says Manthel.

Today AMLHUB hosts more than 10,000 users, including lawyers, accountants, real estate agents and compliance officers from other AML/CFT reporting entities.

Manthel says: “AMLHUB is the first private sector host to integrate with the government’s RealMe verified identity service. We’re delighted to be at this point, particularly as so much business is now done online and the need to trade safely and securely online has never been more urgent.
