We exist to help businesses of every size limit criminal exploitation. Protecting the financial system — one verified customer at a time.
Money laundering is not a victimless crime. It funds terrorism, drug trafficking, and human exploitation. We built First AML so the businesses on the front line don't have to fight it alone.
First AML was founded in March 2018 in New Zealand. The founders recognised that anti-money laundering compliance was broken — slow, manual, and inaccessible to the thousands of small-to-mid businesses that needed it most.
They set out to build a single platform that combined every AML, KYC, and KYB tool a business needs, powered by AI and connected to global data sources across 180+ countries.
Today, First AML operates in New Zealand, the United Kingdom, Australia, and across the globe — serving 1,500+ customers ranging from boutique accounting firms to international financial institutions.
First AML has offices and customers across four regions, with coverage extending to 180+ countries for individual identity verification.

We first heard about First AML through one of our investments, and having tried the product we were very happy when we became their first European client. Since then we have gone on to conduct hundreds of KYC and AML checks on both our investors and investments. It's been amazing!
Great platform that works well and has enhanced our AML compliance and processes!
