The problem

If this sounds familiar, you need Certivus

Chasing clients for documents

Sending "Can you send your passport?" emails for weeks. Half your clients never respond.

Email back-and-forth

"Wrong document." "Can't read it." "Need a selfie too." Days wasted on one verification.

Hours every month

Frontline staff spending 20% of their time on AML admin instead of actual client work.

Mehmood Rajoka, Founder of Certivus

"I know because I did this for 10 years at RR Accountants. Spreadsheets. Email chaos. Compliance anxiety. It was soul-crushing. So I built Certivus — the tool I wish I had."

— Mehmood Rajoka, Founder and Former Accountant
