KYC/KYB Process Support

Onboarding speed matters, but so does regulatory defensibility. We design KYC/KYB frameworks that risk-rate each customer segment, define the right level

KYC/KYB Process Support covers legal assessment, document preparation and implementation support in Europe. It is typically relevant to businesses, investors and organisations operating or transacting in one or more countries. The precise rules, competent authority and procedure depend on the subject matter, jurisdiction and facts, with EU and national law considered together.

Key points

  • Obliged-entity status depends on the activity and national law.
  • The risk assessment informs due diligence and monitoring.
  • Beneficial ownership and source of funds are checked proportionately.
  • The AMLR is adopted but not generally applicable on the review date.

Jurisdiction and applicable framework

The applicable framework depends on the subject of the service, governing law and countries in which the structure or transaction has effect. EU law and current national legislation are assessed together.

Onboarding speed matters, but so does regulatory defensibility. We design KYC/KYB frameworks that risk-rate each customer segment, define the right level of due diligence, and integrate electronic-verification tools - so your compliance team can onboard legitimate clients quickly while catching the cases that require deeper scrutiny.

We draft the policies, procedures, and checklists that govern customer identification, verification, and ongoing monitoring, calibrated to the specific requirements of your regulatory licence.

For complex structures - multi-layered corporates, trusts, foundations, and nominee arrangements - we build UBO-determination workflows that trace beneficial ownership to natural persons and document the chain for regulatory inspection.
