Automate AML compliance across the entire investor lifecycle with Cascade

Built for UK fund administrators and transfer agents.
Cascade helps you onboard investors faster, automate AML screening, manage risk, and ensure full compliance, all in one centralized platform.

Why do UK fund administrators need modern AML software?

Fund administrators in the UK face rising AML expectations from:

The FCA
The Money Laundering Regulations 2017
FATF recommendations
European AML Directives (where cross-border clients are involved)

Therefore, investors expect a smooth experience, but administrators must perform deeper due diligence, ensure UBO transparency, and monitor risk throughout the investor lifecycle.

Manual processes and disconnected systems no longer meet these demands. They lead to:

Slow onboarding
Increased operational risk
Inefficient monitoring and reporting
Poor investor experience

This is how Cascade solves this with an AML solution built specifically for UK fund administrators.
