FAQ

Know Your Business (KYB) refers to the controls that a company must implement to ensure its clients are not engaged in criminal activity. It is the process of due diligence that should be undertaken before dealing with any organisation.

KYC (Know Your Customer) refers to verifying the identity of an individual, whereas KYB (Know Your Business) analyses and verifies the identity of companies.

KYB helps companies obtain essential information about their potential clients, in order to protect their interests while dealing with other businesses. It also ensures that organisations are not indirectly associated with fraudulent activities.

The main advantages of a comprehensive KYB Screening procedure are:

1. Helps evaluate the business authenticities of companies, and identify changes in transactional behavior, which sometimes indicate fraud.

2. Identifies the Ultimate Beneficial Owner (UBO) and evaluates their risk profiles.

3. Screening key stakeholders prevents the occurrence of financial fraud and makes companies trustworthy.

A UBO (Ultimate Beneficial Owner) is the ultimate business owner of an organisation. A UBO can be classified as someone

who owns more than 25% of the company's shares.

who controls more than 25% of the voting rights.

who is a beneficiary of at least 25% of the organisation's capital.

who is a shareholder, including those with bearer shares that can be transferred anonymously.

Yes, uqudo's KYB coverage includes more than 98 languages, including Arabic, English, Afrikaans and many more.

FAQ

uqudo's screening process involves running background checks by checking global lists for high-risk entities. In regulated industries, there is a requirement to ensure the individuals you are dealing with aren't sanctioned to mitigate business risk.

1. Anti Money Laundering (AML) is a set of policies, procedures, and technologies that prevents money laundering. Money laundering involves the execution of transactions to eventually convert illegally obtained money into legal money.

2. A Politically Exposed Person (PEP) check, also known as PEP sanction screening, involves searching official politically exposed people lists to see if a prospective or current customer is on that list during client identification or transaction screening processes.

3. Sanctions checks (sometimes known as watchlist checks) are specialised searches that include several international, government, or regulator sanctions databases that identify individuals prohibited from certain activities or industries.

Our Screening lists include the following:

1. Monitored Lists: 900+ monitored lists that include international sanctions, money laundering and other global lists.

2. PEPs (Politically Exposed Person) lists: PEP list check against 1.7+ million high-risk individuals.

3. Adverse Media Screening: Screening against 3 billion media articles.

We can screen and monitor in real-time, on an ongoing basis.

AML (Anti-Money Laundering) refers to the rules and regulations that combat money laundering and terrorist financing. AML screening helps detect and identify these suspicious activities.

Monitored lists use data from numerous sources to evaluate a customer's risk profile. Some examples of monitored lists include

International sanction lists (FATF, OFAC, UNSC)

Regional sanction lists (MENAFATF, EU, GIABA, ESAAMLG)

Money laundering

Terrorist financing

Drug trafficking

Narcotics trafficking

Human rights violations

International treaties violations

PEPs (Politically Exposed Persons) are those individuals holding a prominent public position, which increases their susceptibility to fraud. PEP screening involves identifying PEPs and evaluating their risk profiles.

Our PEP screening involves evaluation against 4 PEPs risk levels, which are:

1. High-risk PEPs

2. Medium-risk PEPs

3. Low-risk PEPs

4. PEPs by association

A global watchlist screening helps companies identify suspicious money launderers and individuals associated with financial crimes. Along with this, screening helps firms comply with their region's AML/CFT regulations.

Yes, our database undergoes real-time updates, so our Ongoing AML can easily track changes in a customer's risk profile.
