Identity Validation

What data sources do we use to validate identities and perform AML checks?

​

For UK individuals, we check credit profiles held by Experian and Equifax; for UK entities we use Creditsafe. Credit ratings are never disclosed to Lucra and our searches do not affect a user's credit rating (i.e. soft footprint).

​

For EU individuals, we leverage data held by TruGlobal; for EU entities we also use Creditsafe (only soft footprint check).

Security

Do I need to add a MFA authenticator to my account?

​

No, but we strongly recommend that you do. We currently support Google and Okta authenticator apps, which are both easy to set up and use.

Billing

Will I be charged if a user manually adds their bank details?

​

No, we only charge for a validation when a user connects their account through Open Banking. If they add their details manually, Lucra will not validate the information - it will only capture what has been inputted by the user and display that back in the matter room.
