Frequently Asked Questions

What is UBO verification?

UBO verification identifies the natural persons who ultimately own or control a legal entity, validates the ownership or control basis, verifies the relevant people, and records the evidence used for the decision.

How is UBO verification different from KYB and KYC?

KYB verifies the company. KYC verifies an individual. UBO verification connects both: it establishes which people own or control the company and then applies the appropriate identity and risk checks to them.

How are beneficial owners identified?

Available registry records and supporting business documents are used to map direct and indirect ownership. The structure is followed through corporate shareholders until natural persons meeting the configured ownership or control rule are identified.

Can the ownership threshold change by jurisdiction?

Yes. Thresholds and control tests should be configured according to the relevant jurisdiction, regulation, and customer risk policy rather than assumed to be identical worldwide.

What happens when registry ownership data is incomplete?

The workflow can request supporting evidence such as shareholder registers, incorporation documents, or other corporate records. Extracted information can then be compared with available registry data and routed to review when discrepancies remain.

Can UBOs be screened for sanctions, PEPs, and adverse media?

Yes. Each identified person can be screened against the configured financial-crime data, with potential matches retained for analyst review alongside the company evidence.

Can ownership and risk changes be monitored after onboarding?

Periodic re-screening and re-verification can be configured. The available ownership-change signals and refresh frequency depend on jurisdiction, source, and the monitoring arrangement selected.

How does the workflow support audit readiness?

The company record can retain registry results, documents, ownership calculations, linked identity outcomes, screening results, discrepancies, and reviewer actions in one evidence chain.
