Legal consultation on confirming the source of funds for the bank
This service is intended for individuals residing in the United Kingdom who plan to carry out a significant financial transaction — opening an account, purchasing property, investing, transferring large sums, or receiving funds from family. Banks and financial institutions are required to verify the origin of funds in accordance with UK AML regulations, so a consultation is necessary to prepare for these requirements and reduce the risk of delays.
Consultant lawyers explain the meaning of the English term Source of Funds, how to confirm it correctly, and the difference between Source of Funds (specific funds) and Source of Wealth (overall financial status).

As a result, the client receives a clear understanding of the bank’s legal requirements and strategic support in preparing materials for verification.
List of documents for confirming Source of Funds and Source of Wealth
Banks require confirmation of the origin of funds based on a documented “path” of money accumulation. The type and volume of documents depend on the source of funds and the client’s risk level.
Consultant lawyers help prepare:
- bank statements for the last 3–12 months showing salary income or savings;
- payslips and employment contracts to confirm regular income;
- documents related to inheritance, bonuses, gifts, or property sales, as well as written confirmations of sources;
- if necessary — donor declarations in the case of gifts or external transfers.

As a result, the client receives a complete document package prepared in accordance with international AML requirements, increasing the chances of prompt bank approval.
Support during bank verification of the source of funds
After preparing the document package, Consultant lawyers provide full support throughout the bank interaction process, monitoring all possible nuances and offering explanations upon request.
Lawyers:
- draft a written justification of the source of funds’ compliance with AML regulations;
- coordinate the submission of documents to banks or financial institutions;
- respond to additional requests, explain the origin of funds or the structure of savings/investments;
- advise on Source of Wealth reports if the client falls under a high-risk category.

As a result, the client receives professional support, reduced risk of delays or refusals, and confidence that the financial transaction will be completed without violations.
