Common questions
What is Certivus?
Certivus is AML compliance software for UK accountants and law firms. It helps teams collect identity evidence, screen PEP and sanctions risk, and keep audit-ready records.
How much does Certivus cost?
There are no plans. You top up a Certivus Wallet and each check draws its own rate, from £0.99 for an AML screening to £2.49 for a full KYC and AML check. Larger top-ups land bonus credit: on pay as you go £100 buys £120 and £1,000 buys £1,550, and on a 12-month retainer £100/month buys £140 and £1,000/month buys £2,200, which works out at £1.13 per check. Every account starts with £10.00 of free credit (4 checks).
How do I import my clients?
Import clients with a CSV upload or add them manually. The guided import process takes a few minutes.
Do you offer an API?
API access is included for every firm, at no extra cost. The full partner API documentation is available from the developers section.
Certivus was built from the operating reality of a UK accountancy practice, so evidence and decisions stay together from the first client request.
