Corporate structures can be complex and confusing, especially when companies operate across multiple territories with varying regulations and registries.

Frequently Asked KYB Questions

How often is your data updated?
Our data is updated daily, including our PEPs and sanctions screening, from over 2,000 trusted sources, such as official sanction lists, registries, and government data.

How much do you charge for your reports?
We’ve eliminated complicated pricing structures by offering a single price for UK and international reports, with discounts available for volume users. Our KYB reports are available on all subscriptions and are included as part of your credit commitment.

Do I need to run ID checks on owners if they appear on Companies House?
While companies are legally obliged to provide accurate details to Companies House, the volume of information supplied means that directors/PSC data is not currently verified. In 2022, over 10,000 people applied to have their addresses removed from Companies House, as their details had been used without their consent. New legislation is being introduced that requires all directors to undergo strict ID verification before being listed on Companies House, but it has not yet come into force and may not apply to existing information.

Do you provide credit reports / rating?
We do include financial returns where applicable, but as our services are designed to help firms meet their AML obligations, we do not include credit reports or ratings.

Do I need to run a KYB/ AML check on a company?
Under AML regulations, all regulated firms are required to conduct Customer Due Diligence and establish the Ultimate Beneficial Owners of a transaction, including any commercial entities involved. Failing to correctly establish and conduct thorough due diligence on all parties involved can result in financial penalties, disqualification, and, in rare circumstances, a criminal conviction. The regulation provides for Simplified Due Diligence (SDD) where the risk is considered very low, or in the case of corporate bodies that are already listed on regulated markets, such as Tesco, as these entities are highly scrutinized by their regulators. If you decide to undertake Simplified Due Diligence, it should be documented in your AML policies and captured in your client/matter risk assessment.
