BrightChecks Now Integrates with BrightManager: Streamline Your ECCTA Compliance

The ECCTA regulations came into effect in November 2025, which means every company director and PSC must now be verified before their next confirmation statement. If you’re managing these verifications for your clients in spreadsheets, you already know the administrative burden this creates. We have good news: BrightChecks now integrates directly with BrightManager, transforming how you handle client identity verification.

What This Integration Means for You

If you’re already using BrightManager to run your practice, you now have a seamless way to manage ECCTA-compliant identity verification without leaving your workflow. Here’s what changes:

Your client information already lives in BrightManager. With the BrightChecks integration, there’s no need to re-enter client names, email addresses, or other details. Everything flows automatically from your practice management system to your verification platform.

Navigate to any client within BrightManager and initiate their ID verification request with a single click. No switching between platforms, no copying and pasting information, no friction in your existing workflow.

When you start using BrightChecks through BrightManager, you automatically gain access to the BrightChecks dashboard. This is your single source of truth for every verification across your entire client base. You can see at a glance who’s verified, who needs chasing, and who’s failed.

Once your clients complete their verification, you can view the results directly within BrightManager. Real-time status updates (Pending, Passed, Rejected) mean you’re always aware of your compliance position without checking multiple systems.

After successful verification, your clients receive personal codes from Companies House. With BrightManager, you can store these verification codes in the same system where you manage everything else about that client, which means no more hunting through emails or separate spreadsheets.

Why This Matters Now

The ECCTA deadline means every company director and PSC needs biometric identity verification before their next confirmation statement. For practices managing dozens or hundreds of clients, this represents a significant operational challenge.

The BrightManager integration doesn’t just make verification easier, it makes it manageable at scale. Whether you’re verifying 50 or 500 directors, you maintain complete oversight without the workflow disruption that comes from juggling disconnected systems.

BrightChecks uses Credas technology, specifically designed for ECCTA compliance. This partnership delivers a 95% verification pass rate and ensures your clients experience a smooth, professional verification process that takes under 5 minutes to complete.

Better Than the Free Government Portal

Yes, the government offers a free ID checker. But that “free” option creates hidden costs:

• No oversight: You can’t see which clients have completed verification

• Manual tracking chaos: Spreadsheets become your only compliance record

• Disconnected workflow: Copy-pasting between systems wastes time

• No audit trail: Professional liability protection requires documentation you’ll need to create manually

BrightChecks integrated with BrightManager solves all of these problems, transforming ECCTA compliance from an administrative nightmare into an organised, auditable process that fits seamlessly into how you already work.

Getting Started

If you’re already a BrightManager customer, the integration is ready for you now. Simply navigate to any client record and you’ll see the option to initiate identity verification. Your BrightChecks dashboard access is automatic, and your first verification request takes seconds.

The Spring 2026 deadline is closer than it feels. With BrightChecks and BrightManager working together, you can approach it with confidence rather than chaos.
