Business onboarding shouldn't slow your bank down 

Specialist and private banks handle some of the most complex ownership structures in the market. Give your compliance team control and consistency, without turning every case into a manual exercise. 

The KYB challenge for specialist banks 

Ownership that doesn't fit a simple search

Layered corporate shareholders, trusts, syndicates, family offices, and cross-border structures turn UBO discovery into a research exercise. By the time your analyst has pieced the case together, the client has already felt the delay.

Policy that lives in a document, not a workflow 

When risk thresholds, EDD triggers, and evidence requirements aren't embedded in the onboarding journey, every decision depends on individual interpretation. Inconsistency follows - and so does audit exposure.

Cases that take too long and come back too often 

When UBO data lives in one tool, sanctions checks in another, and case notes are in an email chain, analysts spend their time on admin - not analysis. Cases stall, rework piles up, and high-value clients feel the friction. 

How much is complex onboarding costing your bank? 

See how much time, resource, and compliance risk you could reduce by automating business onboarding for complex entities. 

Complex ownership. Consistent decisions.

Map ownership structures automatically

instant access to 600m+ company records and 200 beneficial ownership registries - including support for trusts, partnerships, and layered structures across 196 countries. 

Surface what's known and what's missing 

every case arrives with a clear view of the business structure, the parties identified, and the outstanding information - so your analysts start work, not a research exercise.

Make risk appetite operational 

move EDD triggers, UBO thresholds, and evidence requirements into the workflow so compliance decisions are consistent, defensible, and don't rely on individual interpretation. 

Cut manual checks by 67% 

automate screening, approvals, and document collection so your compliance team focuses on genuine exceptions, not avoidable admin. 

Audit-ready from day one 

every check, every decision, every override documented with who, what, when, and why. So when a regulator asks, the answer is already there. 

From application to onboarded client  

GBG Detected brings together business verification, UBO discovery, identity checks, AML screening, and ongoing monitoring in one platform - so your compliance team can onboard complex business clients faster and spend their time on the cases that actually need their judgement. 

Step 1

Client applies 

One link starts the onboarding journey. The client completes a branded portal configured to your risk requirements and entity types - whether that's a limited company, a trust, a partnership, or a multi-owner syndicate.

Step 2

Business verified instantly

The entity is automatically validated against 600m+ company records and ownership registries worldwide. Registration, operational status, and financial health confirmed in seconds - no manual data chasing required.

Step 3

Ownership mapped and screened

Directors and UBOs are automatically identified across 200 ownership registries. Where data isn't available - for trusts or complex layered structures - the platform prompts for manual disclosure. All parties screened against 2,500 global watchlists for sanctions, PEPs, and adverse media.

Step 4

Risk-scored and approved 

An intelligent risk engine scores each case against your configured rules - including EDD triggers, trust flags, and jurisdictional thresholds. Straightforward cases move through quickly. Complex cases reach your team with a complete, analyst-ready profile and a full evidence trail.

Everything your bank needs for complex business onboarding, in one platform

GBG Detected brings business verification, UBO discovery, risk scoring, and ongoing monitoring into one platform - so your compliance team has everything they need in one place, not scattered across five. 
It connects to Salesforce, Microsoft Dynamics, and more via pre-built integrations, with a single low-code API for full flexibility - so it fits your existing technology environment without adding another point solution to the stack.
