New Government Guidance on Digital ID for AML Checks
HM Treasury and DSIT have confirmed certified digital ID as a valid route to AML compliance under MLR 2017. What the new guidance means for regulated firms.

Tiller Technologies has announced a strategic partnership with MBS, Europe’s leading Laserfiche partner and a global provider of audit-ready digital operations and intelligence solutions, reflecting a broader shift in how financial institutions approach onboarding and compliance.
Unveiled at an industry event hosted by MBS, the collaboration integrates Tiller’s identity verification and anti money laundering capabilities, delivered through its Verify by Tiller platform, into the Excapsula platform. This embeds verification directly into operational workflows rather than treating it as a separate compliance step.
The partnership comes as firms face increasing pressure to balance stricter regulatory demands with client experience. Traditional onboarding models are often fragmented and resource intensive, making it harder to manage risk efficiently at scale.
By integrating Verify by Tiller, MBS enables real time identity verification, ongoing monitoring and Know Your Business processes within a single workflow. The result is greater auditability, improved efficiency and a more seamless onboarding experience.
Rupert Leaton, Managing Director at MBS, said, “We are delighted to partner with Tiller to bring a fully integrated, end-to-end onboarding & compliance solution to our clients. By implementing Verify within Excapsula workflows, we are not only automating verification, but strengthening auditability, and enabling faster, more efficient client servicing.”

For Tiller, the partnership reflects a wider industry transition towards embedding compliance within the client lifecycle. By moving away from siloed processes and towards integrated, technology-led solutions, firms can reduce friction while maintaining stronger control over risk.
As financial crime grows in scale and complexity, the ability to combine compliance, technology and user experience into a single, cohesive journey is becoming a key differentiator. Partnerships such as this demonstrate how organisations can move beyond reactive compliance to a more scalable and forward-looking model.
