Integration overview

We are pleased to share the news that a new third party integration is now available for Xplan users. 

This is a custom integration, built by Iress, and connecting to the SmartSearch API, as opposed to being a Standard Third Party Integration.  This integration will connect your Xplan to your existing SmartSearch account and is offered as a free service for Iress Clients.

The 'switch on' differs from the usual Iress Open Standard self enablement pattern - there is no tile in the Iress Open Pages at present - see below for details of how to get connected.

Integration summary

is a leading provider of anti-money laundering (AML) and digital compliance solutions
in the UK. Their advanced platform enables businesses to meet regulatory requirements, including
Know Your Customer (KYC) and Customer Due Diligence (CDD) checks. Trusted by over 7,000 firms
and 55,000 users, SmartSearch delivers efficient, secure compliance tools tailored to industry needs.

The UK AML check is the first SmartSearch product to be integrated with Iress. This integration allows
users to securely send client data, run AML checks, and automatically store the results in
Xplan—eliminating the need to re-key information or manually copy and paste personally identifiable
information (PII).

Software type: Identity Verification Services

Locale(s): UK

Description provided by the integrator:

This integration seamlessly links your Xplan user account with your existing SmartSearch account,
enabling the secure and efficient transmission of personally identifiable information (PII) needed to
perform AML checks on your prospects or clients. The result is automatically returned to Xplan,
recorded as a Document Note, and—critically—stored as an immutable entry in the Xplan EID&V
history.

If you already have a SmartSearch contract, there’s no need to set up a new one, and no additional
agreement with Iress is required.

Simple, efficient and reducing risk.

IMPORTANT NOTE - This integration is available for firms on multi-tenanted sites i.e. Iress Essentials clients, Dealer Groups and Networks.  To get connected you need to speak to your local site administrator.
