Scottish solicitors face some of the most demanding AML obligations in the UK. The Law Society of Scotland’s 2025 AML Supervisory Report found that a significant number of firms still rely on manual or inconsistent processes that leave them exposed. Not because they aren’t trying, but because the tools available weren’t built with Scottish property work in mind.
PSS Verify handles your AML checks, identity verification and risk screening in one place, and it has been built with Scottish property transactions at its core.
Meeting your AML obligations isn’t just about running a check. The Law Society of Scotland expects firms to apply a risk-based approach, verify identity and address, screen for PEPs and sanctions, conduct source of funds checks where appropriate, and keep records that demonstrate the process was followed correctly.
Doing all of that manually, or across multiple systems, creates gap, and gaps create supervisory risk. The 2025 AML Supervisory Report identified inadequate client due diligence and poor ongoing monitoring as the most common areas of concern across Scottish firms.
PSS Verify brings all of these checks into a single, auditable process so your firm can demonstrate compliance with confidence.
Photo ID verification with biometric facial recognition that meets all Scottish, UK and international regulatory requirements.
Your clients complete checks quickly without complicated forms or confusing steps that waste their time.
Developed with legal practices to handle the specific compliance requirements you face every day.
Check PEP status, sanctions lists, and adverse media all in one place. No need to juggle multiple systems.
Run basic checks or enhanced due diligence including Source of Funds verification, depending on what you need.
Automatic alerts if a client’s status changes, so you stay protected without constant manual checking.
We offer clear, competitive, and unambiguous pricing, with no requirement to commit to lengthy contracts or opaque credit schemes.
You pay only for the checks you use, making reconcilement of costs easy.
