You must obtain Consent from your customer as per the AML/CTF act to run certain checks. You won’t be able to save and verify where consent is required as part of the selected Workflow.

Save & verify

Selecting Save & verify will save the changes to the profile and run all of the checks required as per the selected workflow. If checks have been run previously, FrankieOne will decide which, if any, further checks need to be run and which don’t need to be run again.

Save Changes

Selecting Save changes will save changes to the profile and any new information or information that has been changed after checks have already been run will show as Unchecked.

If changes were made that don’t impact the result of previous checks, these results will remain.

If a new ID document has been added and saved, and a different ID document has previously passed, the original document will remain as passed.

If you selected Send a link when creating a new entity, you will be prompted to enter the customer’s details.

Instead of typing every detail yourself, you can text an onboarding link to the customer. The customer opens the link, uploads their ID and selfie, and the Portal updates the profile automatically.

1. Enter phone number and name

In the Send link modal, type the customer’s

  • Phone number (include country code).
  • Given name and Family name (optional but helps match results).
The phone number becomes the Customer reference (Cust ref) for easy searching later.
