London, United Kingdom, July 22, 2015 --(PR.com)-- Hoowla has partnered with SmartSearch, specialists in the provision of Anti-Money Laundering Verification Services and Fraud Prevention Solutions, to deliver an integrated AML checking solution within their case management software.

Hoowla’s latest update assists solicitors in complying with their anti-money laundering (AML) obligations. An electronic AML check can be effortlessly performed on any client providing a clear “PASS or REFER” result within seconds. An AML certificate detailing the result is produced automatically and saved against the client’s record, providing piece of mind that satisfactory Know Your Customer (KYC) and Customer Due Diligence (CDD) is being carried out.

Customers of Hoowla will benefit from one free AML check with each case run through their conveyancing software. Each subsequent check will be charged at £3.70. No annual licenses or minimum spend are required.
