Video on Ultimate Beneficial Owners: Unveiling the real names
The key element of Customer Due Diligence before onboarding corporate customers is to identify ultimate Beneficial Owners (UBO) and unveil their true identity to fight against money laundering and terrorist financing.
If UBO pertains to high risk, then the entity will also be treated as high risk, and Enhanced Due Diligence is to be conducted for both. UBO can only be a natural person. The following qualifies as UBO:
- If a natural person has 25% or more ownership interest in an entity through direct or indirect shareholding
- If a natural person holds 25% or more of the voting rights in an entity
- If a natural person has the right to appoint or dismiss a majority of the managerial persons in the entity
- If there is any other way by which a natural person exercises ultimate control over the entity
- If UBO cannot be determined, then a natural person holding a senior managerial position in the entity would qualify as a UBO
