  • Verifying Identity & Structure: confirming the legal status, ownership, and corporate structure of counterparties, including ultimate beneficial owners (UBOs)

  • Analysis of operational, financial and reputational standing

  • Risk assessment across jurisdictions and regulatory environments

  • Screening counterparties against international sanctions lists

  • ESG (environmental, social, and governance) checks, including adherence to human rights, anti-corruption, and sustainability standards.
