Verified against the registry, not just the form
Steward checks legal name, company number, status, incorporation date, and registered office against official registries. Each value is compared to what the customer declared and to the documents they uploaded. Differences surface as specific field-level discrepancies, with both sources shown.
Ownership unwrapped to the people behind it
Layered holdings, nominees, trusts, and fund structures are expanded until every ultimate beneficial owner is identified, each with a calculated effective ownership percentage. Every shareholder, director, trustee, and signatory carries the verification level their role requires. The structure shows at a glance where evidence is still missing.
Every entity and every person, screened and scored
Sanctions, PEP, and adverse media screening runs across the entity, its subsidiaries, and every individual in the structure. Results roll up into one explainable entity risk outcome. When ownership changes or a new match appears, the case reopens for review.
Redefined corporate verification
Confirm legal name, registration number, status, incorporation date, and registered office against official registries, and reconcile them with the documents on file.
Extract structured data from certificates of incorporation, registers of members and directors, articles, and trust deeds in any language, with source-linked evidence.
Expand multi-layer ownership through holding companies, nominees, trusts, and funds, calculate effective ownership, and identify every ultimate beneficial owner and controlling person.
Screen the entity and every person in its structure against sanctions, PEP, and adverse media lists, and aggregate the results into one risk outcome.
Corporate verification as part of a complete AML framework
Steward's know-your-business checks connect directly to investor onboarding, individual KYC verification, screening, risk scoring, and ongoing monitoring. An entity, its subsidiaries, and its beneficial owners are assessed as one case, not as separate checks stitched together.
