Knowing who you are doing business with is essential for protecting your organisation from financial crime, regulatory breaches and reputational risk. Our KYC checks provide the clarity you need to verify identities, assess risk and meet your compliance obligations with confidence.
At Global Investigations, we deliver thorough and reliable KYC due diligence using trusted data sources, global intelligence and proven investigative methods. Whether you are onboarding new clients or monitoring existing relationships, we help you stay compliant while reducing exposure to risk.
Our KYC due diligence process involves:
Banks, lenders, payments companies, and other financial services providers are mandated to perform KYC checks under anti-money laundering regulations. Our services ensure all customers are properly vetted.
Accountants managing client funds require client due diligence to avoid unknowingly enabling money laundering. Our KYC expertise provides the necessary safeguards and compliance.
Law practices forming business entities, managing estates/wills, facilitating transactions, or handling client funds need client screening and monitoring to detect suspicious activity.
Companies providing fiduciary services around company formations, bank account openings, or ownership structures need rigorous KYC procedures in place to fulfil compliance duties.
Any business dealing with client funds or transactions has exposure and obligations around KYC. Our private investigators facilitate compliance.
Our KYC due diligence process involves:
Confirming authentic government IDs, cross checking information against databases like credit checks, validating addresses, and more to corroborate customer information.
Researching customer history including connections, past legal issues, sources of wealth, public records, and more to build a risk profile assessing potential for money laundering or other financial crimes.
Continuously tracking customer transaction activity, updating due diligence information, and watching for suspicious transactions to maintain compliance over the full relationship lifecycle per regulations.
Using legal methods and our access to global records and data sources, our expert investigators leave no stone unturned in confirming customer identities, histories, and behaviour to facilitate compliance.
With over 20 years of experience, our professional team of licensed private investigators have extensive expertise specifically around financial crime matters. We stay fully up-to-date on the latest regulations and requirements to ensure our KYC services surpass obligations.
As a trusted industry leader, Global Investigations maintains an expansive global database and information network to dig deeper than competitors into customer backgrounds across 100+ countries. We uncover hidden connections, activities, legal issues and more.
Our commitment to integrity, security, and discretion makes us a reliable partner for managing sensitive customer information and due diligence data. We ensure full compliance with DPA, GDPR, data regulations, and all other relevant regulations.
For high-risk clients, our enhanced due diligence provides more rigorous identity confirmation, deeper background screening, and additional verification procedures as mandated by regulations. We tailor our process to your specific industry and risk factors.
Per regulations, customer screening and monitoring is required continuously not just at onboarding. Our investigators handle ongoing due diligence like transaction analysis, ad hoc screenings, re-verifications, and other monitoring to maintain compliance.
Beyond outsourced screening, our financial crime experts can consult on improving in-house KYC procedures, system selection, process design, control frameworks, audits, and staff training to strengthen capabilities. We identify gaps and provide guidance.
