Why firms use it

The work behind every file, taken off your team

Proof & Source of Funds can take hours on a single matter: gathering information, chasing your client for documents, working through statements from several accounts or contributors, and bringing it all together before you can make your assessment.

We take on that work, so your team can focus on the transaction.

What you don’t have to do

Chasing your client Digital identity verification PEP & sanctions checks Adverse media & financial checks Evidence review Funds reconciled to the required contribution Issues followed up

Checks are carried out as requested by your firm for each matter.

How it works

What your firm and your client see. Everything else, we handle.

  1. 1
    Your firm

    Refers the matter online

    One form captures your firm, the transaction, your client and the checks you need.

  2. 2
    Your client

    Completes their AML form

    A guided form covering their funds and circumstances, including gifts, third-party funds, overseas or crypto funds, and PEP and sanctions status where relevant.

  3. 3
    Your client

    Provides their evidence

    We work directly with your client to collect the documents their answers call for. Where there’s a gift, we contact the giftor directly.

  4. 4
    SureCert

    Reviews and reconciles

    We run the checks you requested, review the evidence, reconcile the funds to the required contribution and follow up where more information is needed.

  5. 5
    Your firm

    Receives the report

    A structured report and evidence pack for your review and sign-off.

The decision stays with you.

SureCert gathers and reviews information declared and provided by your client. We do not certify source of funds or make your firm’s AML decision. Your firm remains responsible for its own AML assessment and final decision.

What you receive

One case record, ready for your review

Your client’s declarations, the evidence, the checks and our findings, brought together in a structured report and evidence pack.

  • A case summary and your client’s declarations in one place
  • Evidence review, with each document indexed
  • Funds reconciled against the required contribution
  • Issues raised, and how they were resolved
  • Additional sections where relevant: gifts, joint or third-party funds, overseas, crypto, PEP
  • The supporting evidence, appended to the report
Real-world funding

Built for purchases funded from more than one place

Many purchases aren’t funded from a single account. The service is designed to bring several sources and contributors together and reconcile them to the required contribution.

Every case is different. The information and evidence we ask for depend on your client’s answers and the checks your firm requests.

Personal savings ISAs & investments Gifted funds Joint applicants Third-party contributions Multiple accounts Overseas funds Crypto & digital assets Other sources
Shaped by solicitors

Developed with Northern Ireland conveyancing firms

We have been developing the service with Northern Ireland conveyancing firms since April 2026. Their feedback has directly shaped our AML form and report, from how third-party money is captured to how ISA savings are handled.

Fees

Charged per case

Fees are charged per case, depending on how complex the case is.

Fees can be recharged to your client as a disbursement on the matter.
