“Can a UK compliance-tech platform become the end-to-end client due diligence and source-of-funds verification standard for regulated professional services firms — legal, property, and accountancy — combining ID, AML, open banking data, and KYB in one workflow?”
Thirdfort started as a client due diligence platform for professional services firms — primarily legal and property conveyancing — focused on remote ID verification and AML screening. It layered on source-of-funds verification (using open banking to access banking data) and Know Your Business checks. The 2022 fundraise signalled an ambition to embed payment infrastructure directly into the platform, moving Thirdfort from a pure compliance tool toward a more comprehensive client onboarding and financial-crime-prevention stack for regulated UK sectors.
Thirdfort uses Onfido for KYC and identity verification.
Thirdfort is founded in 2017 and headquartered in London, UK.
Thirdfort has raised £15M+ (as of March 2022) in total (latest round: Series A, March 2022).
