Verify identity and screen for AML in one click.
IdentityCheck runs inside the software your team already uses. Send a check from the client record, your client completes it on their phone, and the result writes straight back. No portal, no rekeying, no chasing.
The check goes out from where you already work.

Each link opens the obligation on our regulation guide. IdentityCheck runs these checks and keeps the record; your own risk assessment and program decide how you apply them. General information, not legal advice.
“IdentityCheck has transformed our onboarding process. We've reduced the time spent per client from an hour to under 5 minutes.”
IdentityCheck powers two of the five steps.
Client compliance is one workflow with five steps, and StackGo orchestrates the whole of it inside the software you already use. IdentityCheck is the engine behind Verify and Screen. Intake, Assess and Monitor sit either side of it, and you switch them on when you need them.
Intake
One intake form takes in the details, documents and consent you need, and creates the client record in your practice software. No rekeying.
Verify
Identity verification for individuals; KYB and beneficial ownership for entities. Written back to the record.
Powered by
Screen
Screening and background checks: PEP, sanctions and adverse media, on every party.
Powered by Assess
A defensible risk rating (High, Medium or Low) and the decision, recorded against the client.
Monitor
Ongoing monitoring and re-checks, so a client verified today stays current tomorrow.

Common questions about KYC and IdentityCheck.
What is a KYC check?
KYC means know your customer. It is the check that a client is who they say they are, made against a government-issued ID document before you act for them. Anti-money laundering rules require it of regulated businesses, such as lenders, accountants, lawyers and real estate agents, before they act for a new client. See the rules by country.
How does a KYC check work in IdentityCheck?
You start the check from the client record in your practice software, CRM or document manager. Your client gets a branded email or SMS link, photographs their ID and takes a selfie on their phone. A link to the result, with the outcome and status, is written back to the client record. By default no personal details are; see what goes back to your CRM.
What ID documents are accepted?
Over 12,500 document types, including passports, driver licences, national ID cards and residence permits, from 230+ countries and territories, read in 50 languages and dialects.
How does identity verification work?
The ID document is checked for signs of tampering and its details are read automatically. The selfie is matched to the photo on the document, and a liveness check confirms a real person is in front of the camera. 95% of clients are verified first time.
Does IdentityCheck meet AML/CTF compliance requirements?
IdentityCheck runs the customer identification and screening steps of your AML/CTF program and keeps the record of each check. Your program and your risk assessment stay your responsibility. Our security and certifications are on the Security page, and our regulation guides cover what the rules ask of you in each country.
How are biometrics used in KYC?
The selfie your client takes is compared with the photo on their ID document to confirm they are the same person. The liveness check confirms the selfie is a live person rather than a photo or a recording, which stops someone using another person's document.
Do you screen for PEP, sanctions and adverse media?
Yes. Once identity is verified, the client's full legal name and date of birth are screened against politically exposed persons and sanctions lists and for adverse media. For a company or trust, directors and beneficial owners are screened too. Possible matches are flagged on the client record. Screening draws on your plan's credit; see Pricing.
