Verification of Key Controllers

Background
iSignthis’ Paydentity solution offers Payment Service Providers (PSP) an effective way to verify key controllers of merchants with legal structures, leading to significantly faster and simplified on-boarding of the merchant.
PSP’s are obligated under AML regulation to identify and verify not only the corporate structure of merchant entities to whom they intend to provide services, but also to identify and verify the natural persons who are key controllers associated with that merchant.
Key controllers are usually identified as part of a conventional database search on the merchant, either through a data broker, or direct with the registrar of companies in each jurisdiction. The past difficulty has then been in verifying the natural persons who have been identified under a database search as being key controllers.
PSPs have typically manually conducted KYC verification of key controllers via notarized or certified documents, or face to face interviews, a process which can take between 15 to 28 working days, potentially causing huge delays in the remote verification of key controllers, and thus leading to delays in the on-boarding of the merchant to the PSP service.
