Product news: Say hello to Comply Light

We are pleased to officially launch Comply Light – a simplified solution designed for lawyers who need to collect and store ID documentation in a secure and compliant way.

On January 1st, a legislative change came into force meaning that lawyers who operate pooled client accounts are now subject to the Anti-Money Laundering Act. For many, this is not about traditional KYC processes or ongoing monitoring, but about one specific requirement: handling ID documentation correctly and securely. This is exactly the need Comply Light is designed to meet.

A simplified configuration for a specified need

Under the new rules, lawyers are required to obtain and share identification information with their bank regarding the beneficial owners of the funds held in a client account. This information is essential for banks’ AML compliance obligations, and the legislative change provides lawyers with a clear legal basis for sharing it without breaching their duty of confidentiality.

For these lawyers, compliance is therefore not about risk assessments, PEP screening or complex controls.

In practical terms, they need to be able to:

• collect valid identification from clients

   

• share the information with their bank

   

• store the documentation securely and in a compliant manner

That is why we have brought together the necessary functionality in Comply Light. It is a deliberately simplified configuration of our existing Creditro Comply solution, designed specifically for lawyers with a limited and clearly defined compliance requirement.

With Comply Light, you get exactly what you need: collection and compliant storage of ID documentation. No PEP screening, no company registry checks, and no complex configuration choices that require specialist AML expertise.

Security and data protection

All documentation is stored securely and centrally on the Comply Light platform, making it easy to access if requested by your bank or the authorities.

Our annual ISAE 3000 assurance report documents that we handle personal data in full compliance with GDPR requirements. Comply Light naturally maintains the same high standards of security and data protection.

Who is Comply Light for? 

Comply Light is for lawyers who only need to meet one specific requirement – and want to do so correctly from the outset, without building a full AML compliance setup. 

If you require broader AML functionality, Creditro Comply remains the right solution. But if your focus is on ID documentation in connection with pooled client accounts, Comply Light offers a simple and reliable route to compliance.

The solution can also be used by law firms that handle both full KYC processes and simpler ID-only cases. In these situations, Comply Light can be used for matters with limited requirements, while Creditro Comply is used where enhanced AML functionality is needed.
