KYC linking

Like beneficial owners, officers can be linked to individual KYC verification sessions:
  1. The officer’s identity is verified through your standard KYC workflow
  2. AML screening is performed as part of the KYC session
  3. Results are associated with the officer record in the business session
This is particularly important for high-risk industries where regulators require verification of all directors and key personnel.

AML screening

Every identified officer is automatically screened against global AML watchlists as part of the business verification process. Matches against PEP lists are especially relevant for officers, as directors of regulated companies may have politically exposed connections.

Cross-referencing

Didit cross-references officer data between:
  • Registry records — official appointment data from the company registry
  • Uploaded documents — data extracted from articles of association or shareholder registers
  • KYC sessions — identity data from linked verification sessions
Inconsistencies between these sources are flagged for analyst review.
