Remove the complexity of legal entity KYC by unifying all sources and checks
smartKYC takes care of everything with ultimate precision: watchlist screening, UBO determination, adverse media checks, registry verification and identification and batch screening of associated parties
Corporate & Investment Banking
CIB is arguably the most demanding of all KYC environments, certainly in volume terms. For every high profile publicly listed client there are many thousands of smaller businesses to service. Appropriate due diligence needs to be undertaken on each entity and its board of directors, UBOs identified and screened and maybe also their connected parties. And what about all of their subsidiaries?
It doesn’t stop there. Refresh cycles typically follow 1-3-5 year patterns, when actually risk can occur at any interval in between.
This process can be automated.
This process can be systemised.
But most importantly, this process can be improved – whilst saving time, resources and increasing accuracy.
Create the ultimate defence. Have smartKYC watch the external environment for emerging risks on a continuous basis – while you focus on the bigger picture.
A smartKYC search on an organisation unifies all aspects of legal entity KYC. This enables you to:
- Screen structured sources like Sanctions and PEP with precision as smartKYC applies all identifying attributes to the search including official corporate ID numbers, associated directors, and country of registration – and in media, not just structured sources like lists.
- Gain an aggregated view of your search subject across all relevant structured sources – external watchlists, internal blacklists, corporate director and shareholder databases and more.
- Verify corporate identities as well as identify and visualise ultimate beneficial owners.
- Pick-up client-defined high-risk industry exposure from both corporate director and shareholder sources as well as media references.
- Gain insight into management changes, showing moves of senior executives, not just directors and shareholders
- Batch process all individuals associated with a legal entity against watchlists and for adverse media references.
- Monitor material changes as recorded at registries or exchanges.
- Screen for ESG transgressions.
Legal entity KYC can be time-consuming and repetitive. But with smartKYC, due diligence is more precise, extensive and much less labour intensive.
