Who we are
We’re Amiqus, an award-winning tech for good company headquartered in Leith, Edinburgh. Our international team actively advocates flexible remote working, living wage employment and new economy thought leadership. Our values inform every decision, big or small, because that’s not only the right way to do business, but the smartest. We believe in growing our company through a clear set of missions and by putting our people and the public interest first.
What we do
We make market-leading software that helps to make legal services more accessible. The Amiqus platform lets organisations manage their onboarding and compliance in a range of sectors remotely, with hundreds of businesses having used Amiqus to help maintain business continuity during the various phases of lockdown in 2020 and 2021. So whether you’re hiring a new member of staff, legally supporting someone through their first house purchase, or carrying out due diligence in bulk for a new client or class action, Amiqus covers the full range of identity and financial status checks needed.
“In a competitive marketplace primarily of data aggregators and resellers, Amiqus stands out with an incredibly strong team for an early stage company, with a robust product, excellent market opportunity and the company’s values as a whole: valuing client trust and data privacy as paramount while keeping focus on their mission to improve access to justice, something as a firm we clearly align with.”
“By verifying clients and handling compliance online in a matter of minutes in a secure encrypted process, Amiqus is reducing time-consuming paper-based compliance work to a minimum whilst vastly improving client experience’. We’re delighted to work with and support the company as they continue on their growth journey.”
Alistair Lang, Partner at Thorntons
How does it work?
Amiqus enables you to request, verify and review the progress of individual identity and financial status check requests from one online account. Clients can complete checks at home or at work, using their own device, without the need to fill in paper forms or to provide paper copies of personal documents in person.
Step 1: Request
Using a secure link, an administrator or paralegal sends a request for checks to a client by email.
Step 2: Verify
After receiving the link, the client can then undergo a range of identity and financial status checks from the convenience of their own device.
Step 3: Review
Once checks are submitted, the administrator receives a report for their decision within your firm’s Amiqus account. All data, documentation and results are stored, encrypted and backed-up online with digital audit trail and the same process can be used to send checks to colleagues too.
Security and compliance
Amiqus already serves top law firms to Cyber Essentials+ and ISO 27001 standards. Our software is accessible, affordable and can be scaled and deployed to integrate with any size of firm, enabling you to deliver a market-leading client experience. We continuously improve Amiqus through over-the-air updates in line with the latest regulatory changes: helping your firm to comply with the latest anti-money laundering and data privacy standards.
What do our customers think?
“As a Direct Access Barrister with a litigation practice, it’s difficult managing incoming client care, because I’m in court and tribunal frequently. I rely on Amiqus to securely handle my money laundering checks and client onboarding. This time consuming and laborious process has now become as easy as sending an email. I use Amiqus with all new clients, which is a seamless, convenient and cost effective solution.”
Robert Rothkopf, Managing Partner, Balance Legal Capital

Giving back
