1

Know Your Customer (KYC)

Our KYC solution relies on working with locals with deep knowledge of the region’s languages and cultures and reliable data sources to provide businesses with the critical insights they need to complete KYC procedures. Our solution helps clients as-sess their business partners' market standing and highlight any associated risks.

2

Know Your Business (KYB)

Our KYB solution provides access to local official registries to investigate and confirm an ownership structure and investigate shareholders and beneficial ownership information across various MEA jurisdictions. This approach means that ownership and controlling parties of the businesses you are dealing with are never ambiguous.

3

Adverse Media Screening (AMS)

AMS plays a crucial role in SYK’s compliance processes. Due to naming conventions in the MEA region that often lead to simi-larities and homogenization, businesses face a higher risk of misidentification and false positives. Our AMS solution and lan-guage expertise, enables clients to accurately identify potential issues before they occur, helping them mitigate risks and pro-tect their reputation.
