What we deliver
Service details, delivered from Dubai.
Automated identity & company verification
Identity, registry and company verification at the point of onboarding — UAE trade licences and registries alongside 190+ country coverage.
UBO & control-chain resolution
Ownership chains and ultimate beneficial owners resolved across global registries, so complex structures become a clear, documented answer.
Screening built into the flow
Sanctions, PEP and adverse-media screening runs inside the onboarding journey — not as an afterthought — with results filed automatically.
Risk scoring & decisioning
Configurable risk models score every applicant, route high-risk cases to enhanced due diligence and straight-through approve the clean majority.
A reviewable file for every customer
Every check, document and decision is captured in one audit-ready customer file — the evidence your supervisor or auditor asks for first.
Periodic reviews & refresh
Scheduled KYC refreshes and event-driven reviews keep files current after onboarding, with alerting when a customer's profile changes.
FAQs
Common questions.
How fast can we onboard a corporate customer?
Straightforward cases with clean data can complete in minutes through straight-through processing. Complex ownership structures route to enhanced due diligence, where our tooling still cuts most of the manual work.
Does this satisfy UAE regulatory expectations?
The workflow is configured for UAE supervisory expectations — CBUAE, FSRA, DFSA, VARA or goAML depending on your licence — and produces the documented, risk-based file each regime expects. Your compliance obligations remain yours; we build the evidence trail.
Which platforms power this solution?
Primarily ComplianceSuite for workflow, screening and case management, with company and UBO data delivered through API4ALL and group registry sources.
Can it handle both individuals and companies?
Yes. Individual KYC with identity document verification, and corporate KYB with registry, ownership and UBO resolution, run in the same configurable workflow.
We already have an onboarding system — can you integrate?
Yes. Screening, verification and data checks can be embedded into your existing onboarding or CRM flow through APIs, or ComplianceSuite can become the case-management layer on top.
What happens after onboarding?
Files stay current through scheduled refreshes, ongoing screening and change alerting — see our Monitoring & financial crime solution for the ongoing side of the lifecycle.
ICG MECOS designs, implements and operates onboarding and KYC workflows for businesses across the UAE and GCC — combining ComplianceSuite, group data and our Dubai compliance team.
