From a single office in Auckland to 1,500+ firms across 180+ countries, First AML is the compliance platform that keeps pace with global regulation.
Making compliance work for the people who do it every day.
First AML was founded in New Zealand with a clear goal: replace the manual, paper-heavy compliance processes that were slowing down businesses. Anti-money laundering checks were taking days, eating into billable hours, and frustrating both compliance teams and their clients.
The founders saw that AML, KYC and KYB verification could be faster, more accurate, and far less painful. They built a platform to prove it.
Today, First AML serves accounting firms, law practices, real estate agencies and financial institutions across 180+ countries. The platform integrates with 300+ corporate registries and data sources, has verified over 13 million entities, and maintains a 97.5% client pass rate.
Our headquarters remain at 12 Mackelvie Street, Grey Lynn, Auckland 1021, New Zealand. The team that started here now supports a global client base, rated 4.8 out of 5 by more than 1,500 customers.
Make AML compliance a competitive advantage, not a bottleneck.
Compliance requirements differ by jurisdiction. First AML connects to 300+ corporate registries and data sources worldwide, so your team gets the right checks for every country, every time. No manual lookups. No guesswork.
A 97.5% client pass rate means fewer false positives, fewer delays, and faster onboarding. Your clients get verified quickly, and your team spends time on real risk rather than chasing documents.
Accounting, law and conveyancing, real estate, finance: every industry has different AML obligations. First AML is built around how each of these sectors actually works.
