The availability of beneficial ownership information is now a key requirement on Veem due to Veem’s AML program.
We are collecting and validating this information to keep your account and others using the Veem payment infrastructure safe. Different jurisdictions across the globe enforce these requirements for financial institutions and banks to capture beneficial ownership information to ensure the identity of BO in the business is known as part of the Anti-Money Laundering (AML) framework. These requirements are based on several names, including “know your customer” (KYC).
A beneficial owner (BO) is simply a person or an individual who ultimately owns or controls a legal entity or arrangement, such as a company, a trust, or a foundation. This ownership or control can be exercised in various ways: for example, by holding a controlling ownership interest (e.g., 25 percent or more), controlling a significant percentage of voting rights, or having the ability to name or remove the members of an entity’s board of directors.
Veem has made this process seamless, so clients can add and complete the beneficial ownership profile in a couple of minutes!
