Why you’re using Checkboard

Instead of sending multiple documents by email or in person, Checkboard allows you to:

  • Verify your identity digitally in minutes.

  • Connect your bank securely using Open Banking to share financial information safely.

  • Upload documents directly from your phone or computer.

  • Sign documents electronically where required.

All of this is done in one secure place, helping your solicitor or agent complete their legal checks faster.


Safe and secure

Checkboard is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) — the same regulator that oversees major UK banks.

We use bank-level encryption to keep your data secure, and your information is only shared with the organisation that invited you to complete the check.


Why it matters

These checks are a legal requirement under UK regulations to help prevent fraud and money laundering.


By completing your Checkboard tasks, you’re helping your solicitor or agent confirm your identity and source of funds — ensuring your transaction can move forward smoothly and safely.


In short

Checkboard helps make important legal and financial checks simple, secure, and fast, so you can move forward with confidence.
