Know who really owns it. Before anyone asks.

When data is missing, your analyst fills the gaps with fragments, filings, and direct client requests. It’s slower, less reliable, and leaves questions in the audit trail a regulator will eventually ask.

Ownership changes, new shareholders, restructured holding chains, updated allocations. None of it surfaces automatically once onboarding is done. What you documented can be out of date before the next review.

Each jurisdiction means a different registry, a different search session, and an analyst who knows where to look. Most don’t have time for all of them, so the chain gets traced partially, or not at all.

Once the ownership chain is traced, someone still manually re-enters every individual into your case management system. The data exists, moving it into the right place is where the time goes.

Three shareholders each holding 18% don’t individually trigger a 25% UBO flag, but together they control 54%. Without cumulative ownership logic, your system approves the entity and misses the people behind it.

Trusts and foundations aren’t required to declare their controllers. When the chain ends at one, your analyst starts playing email tennis, and the case sits open until someone replies.

Yes. From 2027, AMLR raises the bar on beneficial ownership verification, a central register is no longer treated as a sufficient source on its own, and ownership must be confirmed across multiple independent sources. That is how Strise already works: we cross-reference registries, AI-read documents, and analyst-verified data into one ownership record, every source cited and every change timestamped. Multi-source, traceable, current, built in now, not retrofitted in 2027.

Strise integrates data from over 250 jurisdictions globally. Coverage includes 10B+ corporate records, 500M+ company profiles, and 600M+ individual profiles. Where registries don’t offer digital access, Strise uses enrichment providers, and targeted client forms to close any remaining gap.

Strise calculates both direct and cumulative ownership at every level — so a 60% stake in a company that owns 50% of another shows as 30%, not 60%. Any threshold you configure (25%, 10%, whatever your policy requires) is applied consistently to every entity, every time.

Nominee structures, trusts, and foundations are flagged automatically where indicators are present. Strise surfaces what the data shows and highlights what needs further verification. Where a trust or foundation is the end of the trail, your analyst sees that clearly, rather than an unexplained dead end.

Strise monitors for changes and flags them as they happen. A director added, an ownership transfer filed, a new entity appearing in the structure — all picked up automatically. Your team gets a review triggered when something material changes, not at the next scheduled review cycle.

As deep as the structure goes. Strise traces through holding companies, investment vehicles, and intermediaries across multiple layers until it reaches the ultimate natural persons. Circular ownership patterns and dissolved intermediaries are flagged automatically rather than creating dead ends.
