The challenge
Why AML matters in Trust & Company Service Providers.
Trust and company service providers form companies, act as trustees, supply nominee directors and shareholders, and provide registered offices. Those services are exactly the ones criminals use to put distance between themselves and their assets, which is why the FATF designates TCSPs as a DNFBP and supervisors treat beneficial-ownership concealment as their defining risk.
Meeting that obligation means looking past the entity on paper to the natural persons who own and control it. You need to identify UBOs, verify the structures you administer, and screen directors, trustees, and shareholders against sanctions and PEP data before an arrangement goes live — then keep watching as circumstances change.
MemberCheck brings UBO identification, entity verification, screening, and ongoing monitoring into one auditable workflow, with the API integration to run it inside the onboarding and client-management systems you already use.

FAQ
Common questions.
Can MemberCheck identify the beneficial owners behind a company or trust?
Yes. MemberCheck supports KYB workflows that trace ownership and control through layered structures so you can identify the natural persons who ultimately own or control an entity.
Does MemberCheck screen nominee directors and shareholders?
Yes. You can screen directors, nominee shareholders, trustees, and settlors against sanctions, PEP, and watchlist data before an arrangement is established.
Are trust and company service providers regulated for AML?
Yes. TCSPs are a FATF-designated DNFBP and are supervised for AML because company formation and nominee services carry a high risk of beneficial-ownership concealment.
Can MemberCheck support ongoing monitoring of the parties we act for?
Yes. MemberCheck re-screens clients and controllers as sanctions and PEP lists change, so parties cleared at formation are automatically reviewed when their risk changes.
