Delays in providing source of funds are a common cause of transaction hold-ups

Keep your transaction moving with a clearer approach to compliance

Origin is Keystone's technology-assisted approach to source of funds. Delays in providing this information are a common cause of transaction hold-ups. Origin helps you share the information we need clearly and securely, reducing delays, limiting follow-up requests, and helping your transaction progress efficiently.

A structured process designed to avoid delays and keep costs proportionate

Why this matters for your transaction

For property and corporate transactions, verifying the source of funds is a required part of the legal process. Work cannot progress until this information has been provided and reviewed.

In many cases, this is handled through a series of emails and follow-up requests, which can slow transactions down.

Origin provides a more structured approach, helping you supply the right information at the outset so your transaction can proceed without unnecessary interruption.

Delays at this stage are one of the most common reasons transactions slow down.

Designed to keep your transaction on track

Avoid delays at critical stages

Providing complete information early helps prevent hold-ups during key points in your transaction.

Reduce repeated requests

A clear, guided process limits the need for follow-up emails and additional document requests.

Help manage overall costs

Less time spent resolving compliance queries can help avoid unnecessary additional legal fees.

Clarity from the outset

You can see what is required, why it is needed, and what remains outstanding.

Technology-assisted, professionally applied

Origin uses structured data collection and intelligent document handling to support the compliance process in transactions.

This allows information to be reviewed more efficiently, while your lawyer retains full oversight and responsibility.
