Beneficial Owner Searches

In order to fulfil Know Your Customer requirements and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) obligations under MLD4, entities are required to take steps to identify individuals holding over 25% of the shares of a company they are dealing with.

CRIFVision-net has developed innovative KYC reports and batch searching applications to help our customers identify beneficial owners of Irish corporate entities in seconds, removing the time-consuming burden of manually searching through layers of corporate shareholder structure and data.

The directives, the 3rd and now the 4th directive on Anti-Money Laundering (MLD4), require obliged entities to drill down through layers of shareholderings until they reach and identify individuals (natural persons - as opposed to companies) who own over 25% of a company.

Our beneficial owners solution can be run on a one off basis through a manual search or on a batch basis. Supporting documentation as required by the directives, offical Annual Returns filed by the company, can by provided at each layer of the search.
