Why TCSPs are higher-risk

TCSPs deal with complex ownership structures that can obscure beneficial ownership.

Formation and management services are internationally recognised as higher ML/TF risk.

Stronger verification and ongoing monitoring requirements apply to complex structures.

Clear documentation of beneficial ownership is essential for regulatory compliance.

KYB & beneficial owners

For TCSPs, understanding and verifying beneficial ownership is a core compliance requirement.

  • Verify the full ownership chain of companies, trusts, and other legal entities.
  • Identify and screen all beneficial owners against PEP, sanctions, and adverse media databases.
  • Document the ownership structure and maintain evidence for audit and regulatory review.
