Why Choose Fundsure for Your Director ID Verification? We're Compliance Experts First – Not Just Another ACSP

The Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act (ECCTA) has made identity verification mandatory for UK company directors and Persons with Significant Control (PSCs). Since November 2025, new appointments require it upfront, and existing directors/PSCs are working through the transition period (ending around late 2026 with confirmation statements).

You now have two main routes: the free GOV.UK One Login method or using an Authorised Corporate Service Provider (ACSP) like us at Fundsure. While many providers offer ACSP verification, most are formation agents, virtual office services, or basic admin companies focused solely on quick checks.

At Fundsure, we stand apart in five key ways that give you deeper expertise, stronger security, and real peace of mind.

1. We're Compliance Trainers First (Our Primary Role)

Unlike most ACSPs that treat identity verification as their core business, compliance training is our primary expertise. We regularly deliver Money Laundering Regulations (MLR) and AML/KYC training to FCA-regulated firms, compliance officers, and MLROs across the financial services sector.

We've trained hundreds of professionals on how to conduct proper identity checks, spot red flags, handle international documents, and maintain GDPR-compliant processes. This isn't just theoretical – it's what we teach every day.

When you choose Fundsure, you're not getting a generic ID upload service. You're working with the same experts who train regulated businesses on doing this correctly. We understand verification at a deeper level because it's part of our daily compliance education work.

2. We Also Offer ACSP Services (As a Natural Extension of Our Expertise)

Being a registered Authorised Corporate Service Provider (ACSP AP003554) and supervised by HMRC under AML registration XKML00000206994 is something we do because it aligns perfectly with our core compliance knowledge. We handle your Director ID verification as a secondary, specialist service – backed by real-world AML/KYC experience.

This means:

• Expert human review of your ID and selfie (not just automated checks).

• Guidance if something doesn't pass (e.g., common photo mistakes like glare or reflections).

• Advice tailored to complex cases, such as overseas directors or non-biometric passports.

3. Bank-Grade Security with Cyber Essentials Certification

Security isn't an afterthought for us – it's built in. We're Cyber Essentials certified, meeting UK government-backed standards for protecting against common cyber threats. This certification covers secure configuration, firewalls, user access controls, and more – the same rigorous practices we teach in our compliance training.

In a world where identity data is sensitive, you want a provider who doesn't just claim security but has independent certification to prove it. Many ACSPs don't highlight this level of assurance.

4. £49 with Expert Human Support (Real Value, Not Just Low Price)

Our premium remote verification costs £49 + VAT per person – with multi-director discounts for groups over three (contact us for a quote).

While some providers advertise lower headline prices (e.g., £24.99–£30), they often lack the depth of support we provide:

• Expert human support from AML/KYC specialists (not call-centre style).

• Faster turnaround – under 1 hour, often minutes.

• No proof of address required (electronic checks via TripleCheck/SmartSearch for UK, SmartSearch for international).

• Wide ID acceptance – passports from any country (including non-biometric), UK/international driving licences, BRPs, EU/EEA national IDs, Frontier Worker Permits, and more.

You get premium service at a fair price, not the cheapest possible process.

5. 100% Success Guarantee (Extra Comfort & Confidence)

We offer a straightforward 100% success guarantee or full refund if we can't complete your verification. We've successfully verified over 100 directors and succeed where GOV.UK One Login often fails – especially for international or non-standard IDs.

This removes risk: if something goes wrong (rare with our expertise), you're not out of pocket. Many competitors don't offer this level of reassurance.

Why This Matters to You

Most ACSPs are formation agents or admin services adding verification as a side offering. We flip that – we're compliance professionals who train others on these exact processes, then extend that expertise to provide ACSP verification when needed.

You benefit from:

• Deeper understanding of AML/KYC rules.

• Better handling of edge cases (overseas directors, tricky documents).

• True privacy focus (no biometrics shared with government, minimal data to Companies House).

• Bank-grade security and a guarantee that backs our work.
