We handle the AML admin and chasing – you keep control and stay compliant.
SwiftSOF collects ID and source-of-funds docs from your clients and delivers a single, tidy ‘money story’ PDF pack for every buyer and seller.
Negotiators wasting hours chasing passports and bank statements
AML files inconsistent across the team
HMRC supervision getting stricter
We do the boring bits, so you can sell
“This saved our negotiators hours every week”
“Can’t imagine not using SwiftSOF now”
“Makes AML 10x easier for the team”
How It Works
-
When you agree a sale or take on a new instruction, you send SwiftSOF the basics:
Client name and contact details
Buyer or seller status
Property address and agreed price
Any known funding information (e.g. cash/mortgage/gift)
This can be done through a secure online form or directly from your CRM (if integrated).
-
We reach out to your client under your brand or co-branded with SwiftSOF (your choice). In clear, simple language we explain:
Why AML checks are required
What documents they need to provide
How to upload documents securely
We provide a secure link for uploads and handle all the follow-up and chasing until we have the information required for a complete pack.
-
Using recognised ID verification tools, we:
Capture and verify passport or driving licence details
Run liveness/selfie checks to match the client to their ID document
Compile a simple summary of the ID and address results
Any issues (expired documents, mismatched details, failed liveness) are clearly flagged for your team to review.
-
We help your clients understand and evidence where their money is coming from. This typically includes:
Bank and savings statements
Gift letters and ID for giftors
Completion statements from previous sales
Pension, investment or inheritance documents
We give clients examples of “what good looks like” so they know what to send, and we follow up as needed to fill in any obvious gaps.
-
We prepare a clear AML & source-of-funds pack.
Once we have the documents, we organise everything into a single PDF pack for you, including:
A plain-English “money story” – how the client is funding the transaction
A summary table of each source of funds, with amounts and evidence
A short note of any points you may wish to question or review
An index of all attached documents (ID, statements, gift letters, AIPs, etc.)
All documents are presented in a consistent format so your team and your MLRO can scan and understand the case quickly.
-
You apply your AML policy and make the final call.
Your team remains fully in control of the AML process. With the SwiftSOF pack in front of you, you can:
Apply your own AML risk assessment and policies
Decide whether the evidence is sufficient
Request further information if needed
Handle any reporting or escalation obligations
SwiftSOF does not make AML decisions or provide legal advice – we simply give you a clear, well-organised picture so your decisions are easier and faster.
SwiftSOF doesn’t replace your AML policy or your responsibilities as a regulated firm. We work as your AML admin support team – collecting and organising documents, running digital ID checks and building a clear “money story” for each client, so your team can review and decide quickly.
You remain the regulated firm
We are your AML admin support, not your compliance substitute.
We simply make it as easy as possible for you to make your risk assessment
Designed for UK estate agents under HMRC supervision
We do not make regulatory decisions on your behalf
Built specifically for estate agents
SwiftSOF focuses solely on helping UK estate agents with the admin side of AML checks. We speak your language, we understand your workflows, and we know that sales progression, not paperwork, is what keeps your business moving.
-
Your negotiators and valuers should be winning instructions and agreeing sales – not chasing bank statements. Outsourcing the AML admin means less time on paperwork and more time with clients.
-
Every case is saved as a single, consistent pack. When HMRC or head office want to review your AML, you have clear, tidy files ready to go – not a trail of emails and screenshots.
-
Staff change, branches grow, and everyone develops their own way of “doing AML”. SwiftSOF standardises the way documents are collected, presented and stored, so your approach is consistent and easier to oversee.
-
You pay per case, so you can scale up and down with your pipeline. No extra FTE, no payroll risk, no training new staff only to see them leave after six months.
