TABLE OF CONTENTS


Before you start

The Structure tab shows the entity's ownership and control tree — the individuals and entities connected to the primary entity, along with their roles and relationships.


KYB Unwrap is First AML's feature that combines an entity tree builder with up-to-date company registry data from global registries. It automatically retrieves and maps out an entity's ownership structure and beneficial owners in a single click.


There's a billable charge for each KYB Unwrap (see below). The cost varies depending on the entity's jurisdiction — see Verification Tiers for standard unit costs by country, or contact support@firstaml.com for costings specific to your contract.



Step-by-step Guide

Open your case

  1. Click ‘+Create new case’
  2. (If configured) Select your office
  3. (Optional) Assign users to the case
  4. Select the Verification Type for the beneficial owners (more information here: Verification types). This defaults to whatever your firm set as standard.

  5. Select Entity as the Client type

  6. Select the primary entity type - e.g. ‘Private Company’ or select an entity type from the dropdown list

  7. Enter the full legal name of the entity

  8. Select the country where the entity is registered and the registry number (if applicable)
  9. (Optional) Add an individual as the case contact for this entity.

  10. Click ‘Go to case’. This will take you to the structure page of the new case for you to start the KYB Unwrap process.





Unwrap Structure

To unwrap the structure of the Private Company using First AML’s KYB unwrap feature (recommended), click 'Start unwrap' 


The following user roles can unwrap an entity: Compliance Admin, Compliance Office Admin or Compliance Office Member.


Manually Build the Structure

To manually add individuals or entities to the Structure:

  1. Click the ‘Structure’ tab

4. To add an entity click the blue + and enter the name, entity type, and ownership type (if shareholding, enter the shareholding percentage). Select ‘Add Entity’.



Adding Requirements

Once the Private Company's structure has been unwrapped, the Manifest tab — the centralised hub within a case that lists what still needs to be completed and the actions available to fulfil each one — dynamically generates profiles for all entities and individuals involved, along with suggested documents to collect.


These suggestions can be accepted or dismissed, and you can add further requirements based on your own compliance programme.


Accept or deny suggested requirements

Within the Manifest tab, click 'Case Requirements' then ‘Accept’ to add the requirement to the profile or ‘X’ to dismiss the suggestion.

  4. Click Add requirements

  5. The selected requirements will now populate under the entity or individual.
