AML software for corporate service providers.

AML software for corporate service providers exists because formation agents, registered agents and TCSPs sit at the front door of the corporate world, and regulators know it. KYCK is corporate service provider AML software in the practical sense: client due diligence, screening and audit trails as one workflow, without the enterprise programme.

What KYCK covers for a CSP

For a corporate service provider, KYCK covers the client due diligence workflow: client onboarding with document collection through a portal, UBO verification on every structure you form or administer, sanctions, PEP and adverse media screening on companies and the people behind them, re-screening when a client or structure changes, and a timestamped, exportable audit trail per client.

TCSP compliance, systematised

TCSP obligations are not exotic: know your client, know the owner, screen both, monitor, report, and keep evidence. What breaks firms is doing that across hundreds of small clients on spreadsheets. KYCK turns the obligations into a repeatable pipeline, so the cost of each new client stops growing with your risk.

Where CSP supervision is tightening right now

CSP supervision is tightening in three regimes at once: the UAE, where DNFBP supervision makes goAML registration and reporting the baseline, the UK, where mandatory identity verification and ACSP registration for agents arrive on 18 November 2026, and the EU, where the AMLR extends and hardens obliged-entity duties as the new regulation phases in.

What an inspection actually asks for

A supervisory inspection typically asks for five things: your client list with risk ratings and rationale, CDD files for sampled clients covering identity, ownership and UBOs, screening evidence showing which lists were checked and when, decision records showing who approved each client, and proof of ongoing monitoring. In KYCK each request is a query, not a week of assembly.

From formation to ongoing administration

CSP risk does not end at incorporation. Registered office, nominee and administration services mean the relationship, and the obligations, continue for years. KYCK keeps each client as a living file: re-screening runs against the same record, changes append to the same trail, and the annual review starts from evidence instead of from scratch.

Frequently asked questions

What is a corporate service provider under AML rules?

A firm that forms companies, provides registered addresses, acts as or arranges directors and nominees, or administers structures for clients. Because those services can be used to build opaque ownership, CSPs are treated as obliged entities under AML frameworks in the UAE, the UK, the EU and most financial centres.

What does TCSP compliance involve?

Trust and company service providers are obliged entities under AML rules in most jurisdictions: licensing or registration with a supervisor, client due diligence including beneficial owners, sanctions and PEP screening, ongoing monitoring, suspicious activity reporting and record keeping. Supervisors increasingly inspect the audit trail behind all of it.

Do free zone CSPs in the UAE have AML obligations?

Generally yes. DNFBP obligations in the UAE, including goAML registration and reporting, apply across mainland and most free zone environments, with financial free zones supervised by their own regulators. Check with your specific supervisor, but do not assume a free zone licence is an exemption.

Why do CSPs get special attention from regulators?

Because company formation is where opaque structures are born. A CSP that onboards the wrong client builds the vehicle a bad actor hides behind, which is why supervision of the sector has tightened across the UAE, the UK and the EU.
