If you operate in a regulated industry, verifying customer identity documents isn't just best practice - it's a legal obligation. And with Ireland among the EU's most active GDPR and AML enforcers, your approach to KYC is now more important than ever.

With growing scrutiny under AMLD6, manual, email-based document checks now expose your business to serious compliance, data protection, and reputational risks.

That's where Ella comes in.

Available as an add-on through your Vision-net account, Ella delivers a secure, end-to-end KYC and AML solution - designed to keep your business compliant while creating a seamless, user-friendly experience for your customers.

Why Document Verification Can't Be an Afterthought?

Under the Criminal Justice (Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing) Act 2010, businesses must conduct Customer Due Diligence (CDD) - including identity verification using valid, government-issued ID.

You're also required to perform enhanced due diligence for high-risk customers, such as PEPs (Politically Exposed Persons) and individuals on sanctions lists.

Relying on outdated methods puts your business at risk of:

  • Regulatory fines and sanctions
  • Reputational damage
  • Becoming a channel for financial crime

Ella Makes It Easy - Verify Customers. Prevent Fraud. Stay Compliant.

To learn more about how Ella can help your business meet compliance obligations and mitigate risk, simply call us on 01 903 2660 or email us at solutions.vision-net@crif.com.
