Introducing AML Protect, your new free tool to stay compliant and avoid fines

Don't pay another fine for lapsed registration. AML Protect is a completely free, easy to use, reminder service for your Money Laundering Regulations (MLR) registration renewal.

About AML Protect

Every year HMRC fine hundreds of companies simply for failing to renew their MLR registration. So far in 2024, fines totalling circa £2.3 million have been issued.

AML Protect is a free service, created specifically to help you avoid these unnecessary fines. Simply enter your contact details, MLR registration number and renewal date. AML protect will then automatically send you an email when your registration is approaching expiry and remind you to re-register via HMRC. If no acknowledgement is received on the email, a text message will follow.

In addition, once registered with AML Protect, you will have free access to a range of AML support information, free webinars, and newsletters with the latest important updates from HMRC and expert advice from our highly experienced team to help guide you through the complexities of AML Compliance.

How it works

Set up reminders

Setting a reminder is quick and easy - just fill out a short form and set a password to secure your data. Once the account is created, the reminder system is automatically activated. This ensures that you won't miss the deadline for renewing your MLR registration.

Receiving reminders

We will send you a reminder four weeks before your renewal is due. If you don't acknowledge the first reminder, we will send another email reminder two weeks before the due date. If the second reminder is also not acknowledged, we will send a text message one week before your renewal is due.

Manage your data anytime

If your information has changed, or if you no longer wish to receive reminders, you can update your details or unsubscribe at any time. Just log in to your AML Protect account.
