Ultimate Beneficial Owner (UBO)

In today's highly regulated business landscape, the ability of banks, financial institutions, payment providers and other organisations to identify key decision makers and parties associated with businesses is paramount. Experian simplifies the KYC compliance process with an innovative algorithm that identifies individuals with a 10% or higher shareholding in corporate structures.

Due diligence

Due diligence checks to verify customer identities are required to meet money laundering regulations, and to avoid dealing with sanctioned or risk-posing individuals. Effective due diligence will help your organisation display prudent and ethical financial conduct, and avoid reputational damage, fines and worse.

AML & KYC

Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Know Your Customer (KYC) are the foundation of due diligence. By embracing AML and KYC protocols, financial institutions can strengthen defence against financial crime while upholding trust, transparency, and security.
