UBO unwrapping · KYB
Stop chasing corporate structures. Unwrap UBOs from registry data.
Identifying Ultimate Beneficial Owners across different national registries is hard work. Instant Compliance helps you unwrap complex, cross-border entities from registry data, for your review.
The problem
The 25% threshold, across borders.
Under the EU AML Directives, obliged entities are generally required to identify any individual holding more than 25% ownership or control of a corporate client. But when a French company is owned by a German holding company, which is owned by a Luxembourg trust, manual verification grinds your onboarding to a halt.
Searching fragmented national commercial registers is slow, expensive and prone to human error.
The solution
Pan-European KYB from registry data.
Works with any register extract
Upload the extract from whichever register applies – Handelsregister (DE), Companies House (UK), Infogreffe (FR), KVK (NL) or another – and the platform reads the ownership structure out of it.
Visual structure mapping
Enter a company name or registration number. We build a visual map of the corporate ownership structure from the registry data available, across borders.
Automated UBO calculation
Our engine calculates aggregate ownership percentages across layered structures, flagging individuals who cross the 25% threshold for your review.
Verification request
Once UBOs are identified, trigger an automated, white-labelled KYC request directly to their inbox for biometric identity verification.
Evidence records
Evidence you can show your supervisor.
Every time you unwrap a corporate structure, Instant Compliance generates a time-stamped, append-only audit trail. Download a KYB report containing the ownership map, registry extracts and identified UBOs to help you evidence your work to your National Competent Authority.
