Use cases
How teams put it to work.
Three concrete scenarios from regulated institutions running ComplianceSuite in production today.
Onboarding cross-border B2B clients
A payment institution onboards European SMEs and offshore holding companies, each with multi-layer ownership and beneficial owners across 6+ jurisdictions.
KYB pulls every registry document, resolves the UBO chain, and screens directors and shareholders in one session — average decision time falls from 9 days to 38 minutes.
Marketplace seller activation
A digital marketplace must verify 12,000 new merchant businesses per quarter without slowing time-to-list below 24 hours.
API-driven KYB completes 87% of merchant activations straight-through; only edge cases (high-risk geographies, structuring red flags) reach human reviewers.
Periodic UBO refresh
A private bank must re-verify ultimate beneficial owners on its corporate book every 12 months under AMLD6, currently a 4-FTE manual workload.
Automated annual refresh detects ownership changes via registry deltas and triggers in-app re-confirmation only where required — cutting workload by 78%.
