BGL is proud to launch BGLiD, a solution designed to help firms stay compliant with new Companies House identity verification and anti-money laundering (AML) requirements.
From 18 November 2025, certain individuals will be required to verify their identity with Companies House and obtain a Companies House Personal Code, which must be included on future filings. These changes form part of the Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act (2023) and represent the most significant reforms to UK company law in over 180 years.
Individuals required to verify include directors, people with significant control (PSCs), company secretaries and Authorised Corporate Service Providers (ACSPs) such as accountants and solicitors.
BGLiD is a client identity verification solution that integrates seamlessly with CAS 360, BGL’s company secretarial and KYC / KYB / AML management software, enabling firms to manage companies, trusts, client identity verification and client screening in one innovative, user-friendly platform.
“BGLiD will play a critical role in helping our clients meet their AML and identity verification obligations,” said Daniel Tramontana, BGL’s Chief Executive Officer. “With BGLiD integrated into CAS 360, clients can manage all compliance requirements in one place with confidence.”
How BGLiD works
BGLiD enables accountants and ACSPs to verify client identities in CAS 360, using secure digital ID verification and biometric scanning. Individuals simply upload their passport or driver’s licence and a short selfie video, with facial recognition AI confirming the match in real-time.
Powered by FrankieOne, BGLiD also cross-checks data against global AML, sanctions, PEP and adverse media databases to deliver fast, accurate and compliant verifications.
“BGLiD reflects our commitment to delivering practical, future-ready compliance tools,” added Tramontana. “As regulatory requirements evolve, we’re proud to help clients stay compliant and confident with technology that simplifies and strengthens their AML processes.”
With BGLiD and CAS 360, BGL clients are fully equipped to meet the 2025 Companies House reforms quickly, securely and all within their trusted BGL software.
