How to choose

How to choose a First AML alternative

  1. 1

    What drives the bill

    First AML’s bill is tied to an annual platform fee, included and fixed units, pay-as-you-go overage and a one-off implementation fee. Ask how your client volume and separate checking costs affect the total. Compare that with pricing not tied to each user or client.

  2. 2

    Where your records live

    Ask where your customer files, decisions, risk ratings and dates live, and whether you can keep them for the required retention period. With an owned option, the records sit in a database you own. Keep identity checks with a provider if needed, and make sure their results are recorded.

  3. 3

    Fit with your own rules

    Your AML programme has its own policies, risk assessments, approval steps and review dates. Check whether the register can reflect your offices, fields and working rules, rather than asking your team to fit a fixed set of screens. Enterprise DNA builds each business its own version around how it runs.

  4. 4

    What switching involves

    First AML case lists can be exported as CSV, while identity documents and structure maps are in case report PDFs. Confirm what needs bringing across, what should stay in client files and how live records will be checked. Enterprise DNA brings First AML data across and runs the owned version for you.

The option that fits

An AML register built for your business

Enterprise DNA builds your own AML register around how your business works, brings your First AML data across and runs it for you. Your records sit in a database you own, rather than with a vendor you must keep paying to access. You pay one setup fee, then a monthly retainer, with no per-seat plan. If you prefer to do it yourself, there is also a free version.

Questions

First AML alternatives, answered

Would an alternative replace identity checks? expand_more

No. Electronic identity verification and screening against PEP and sanctions lists still come from a provider you choose. Your register records each result, who checked it and how a possible match was cleared. You continue paying the provider per check, whichever register you use.

Can we bring our existing First AML records across? expand_more

The First AML case list can be brought across from a CSV download, keeping client type, office, status, risk rating, PEP and sanctions result, and case number. Identity documents, biometric results and structure maps stay in case report PDFs, which you keep with the client file. Owners and controllers are added as live clients are reviewed.

How does the cost compare with First AML? expand_more

First AML quotes its plans privately. Its pricing includes an annual platform fee, units, overage and a one-off implementation fee. Enterprise DNA charges one setup fee and then a monthly retainer for a version it builds and runs for you, with no per-seat or per-client charge. The free version is for owners who want to run it themselves.

How do we check it fits our compliance work? expand_more

Your version can hold records for risk assessments, programmes, customer due diligence, reports, training, audits and annual reporting. Check that it reflects your own policies and processes. It is a records check, not legal advice, and your programme and compliance officer still decide.
