Alanna.ai Offers New Digital Signing Capability to Assist With FinCEN Requirements

August 21, 2025

Alanna.ai has introduced a digital signing capability designed to streamline data collection and reporting requirements mandated under the FinCEN Anti-Money Laundering rule, which takes effect Dec. 1.

The AML will impose new reporting requirements for non-financed residential property transfers to legal entities or trusts nationwide. Some title agents and settlement services firms have voiced concerns that the requirements will only further slow and complicate the already cumbersome closing process.

Called Allana Sign, the enhancement to Alanna.ai’s Smart Forms will now include a specialized form supporting the AML’s mandatory data gathering process that will be required of buyers and sellers. It also will include automated reminders for form completion and completion of the digital signing process. In a press release, the company said the process is single-click and is integrated with a cost-effective digital signing process as well.

According to alanna.ai President and Co-Founder, Hoyt Mann, Alanna Sign will help users to comply with the new AML reporting requirements and accelerate what some anticipate will be an otherwise unwieldy process. It will utilize cryptographic technology (public/private key encryption) to bind the signer’s identity and the document’s contents together. Any change to the document after signing will invalidate the signature. Its usage will further demonstrate signer authenticity, prove the integrity of the document and eliminate the possibility of signer repudiation.

“The closing process is already controlled chaos, and a number of agents have told us the new data gathering and reporting requirements will likely only add to that,” Mann said. “However, our early adopters of the digital signing capability have told us that it significantly streamlines the execution of these new requirements, not to mention alleviating much of the anxiety and stress agents are feeling in advance of December 1.”
