Outsource KYC and Win 1-2 Hours per Client File
For compliance consultants, trust offices and accounting firms, KYC research is a recurring part of the work. At the same time, it is rarely the most profitable activity. An average client file takes one to two hours of structure and sanctions research, while clients usually see it as a side matter and prefer not to pay for it.
This is exactly why you can outsource KYC to KYC-Checks. We deliver ready-to-use reports that you can include directly in the client file. You keep full ownership of the client relationship and stay ultimately responsible. We handle the legwork. Our approach is built around the principle that there is no single winning tool: a KYC toolkit that combines structure, sanctions and adverse media outperforms any individual source.

Bank-Ready Reports
How does outsourcing KYC work in practice?
You work online through a single central request flow. The process is deliberately short, so you can launch a check within minutes.
- Pick the topic or bundle that fits the file
- Fill in the basic details of the target company
- Pay online (Mollie or equivalent)
- Our analyst starts the research and typically delivers the report within one to two working days
- You receive the report as a PDF, ready to include in the client file
What does outsourcing KYC bring you?
- Time savings: 1 to 2 billable hours per file freed up for advisory work
- Predictable cost: you know the price upfront and pass it through to the client
- Quality: manual research by an analyst instead of false positives from a tool
- Scalability: whether you process one or twenty files per month, lead time stays short
- Audit trail: structured reports that are supervisor-ready
Who is Compliance Direct for?
- Compliance consultants who want to offload KYC work to focus on advisory
- Trust offices with a continuously high KYC load and a need to scale quickly
- Accounting firms that prefer not to run AML research in-house
- Export advisers needing sanctions and country risk research for their clients
- Notaries and law firms with incidental KYC substantiation needs

Three topics: you decide the scope
You usually know exactly which part of the customer due diligence is still missing. Therefore, you can order by topic without being forced into a full bundle.
Company Structure and PEP Check (from €29)
The Company Structure and PEP Check covers files where only the structure or the UBO determination is still open. Includes an optional PEP screening on every identified individual. Suitable as a quick top-up on existing client files, especially when you suspect professional enablers in the ownership chain.
Sanctions and Country Risk Screening (from €49)
For clients who export or have international trade relationships, our Sanctions and Country Risk Screening screens against every relevant sanctions list and optionally delivers an extended country risk analysis based on FATF, CPI, FSI and the Global Terrorism Index. Particularly relevant for advisers whose clients are exposed to trade-based money laundering risks via invoice manipulation.
Adverse Media (Bad Press) Check (from €49)
The Adverse Media Check covers the adverse media section of the AML file. Manually compiled by an analyst, so without the noise that automated tools produce. The result is directly reportable to your client.
Structure and PEP
Who is behind the company. Directors, operating companies and UBO mapped.
From € 29
Sanctions & country risk
Screen counterparties against sanctions lists and trade restrictions.
