Client identity

Know who you

are dealing with

Advisers run identity checks at onboarding, at transfer, and when a client’s circumstances change. Mailock sends ID, KYC, and AML checks on the channel people prefer for communication, keeping them in the same email workflow as your existing daily communications.

Although email is a simple way to share information, we should always be aware that unencrypted emails can easily be intercepted.
