Handelzeker

Handelzeker supplies online tools for risk, compliance and identity verification in the Netherlands. Its original aim was to help small and medium-sized firms that fall under the Wwft, the Dutch law on preventing money laundering and terrorist financing.

What Handelzeker offers

• Customer due diligence and KYC — tools for establishing and verifying the identity of clients, plus screening and monitoring.
• ID verification — including ID CheckIn, a remote verification service.
• Business credit reports — risk monitoring and creditworthiness checks to reduce unpaid invoices.
• Credit management — customer acceptance, debtor monitoring, data integration and credit insurance support.
• Compliance articles — regular write-ups on changes such as the move from the Wwft to the EU anti-money-laundering regulation.

Who it works with

The tools suit businesses and professional firms that must comply with the Wwft. The company says the software is easy to use, so a client does not need to be an experienced compliance officer.
