Enhanced onboarding experiences

Automate and accelerate UBO investigations

Most businesses rely on a combination of manual research, static databases, and repeated customer interactions to successfully manage onboarding processes.

For customers with complex ownership structures, delays are expected, which can postpone onboarding for weeks and even result in the abandonment of account creation altogether.

Instead, UBO discovery® enables automation of UBO investigations, enhancing the customer onboarding experience, leading to a faster time-to-revenue. And you can ultimately trade periodic reviews for perpetual KYB.




Extensive search network

Advanced global coverage

UBO discovery® pairs machine learning with unrivalled access to global government registers to extract natural and corporate shareholders from unstructured PDFs. Search for and discover corporate shareholders across our extensive world-wide network.

The ownership structures produced are based on, and backed by, primary source data and documents – ensuring seamless compliance with the latest AML regulations, freeing customers from the risks associated with using non-primary source data, and KYC analysts from the tedium and inefficiency of manual discovery and validation.
