Inbound KYC

Inbound KYC requests are rarely straightforward. They arrive from counterparties with different expectations, inconsistent templates and repetitive asks, creating unnecessary admin and disclosure risk.

Avantia takes the process off your desk entirely. Our attorneys apply jurisdiction-specific expertise to challenge excessive requests, while Ava’s workflows manage documentation, version control, and audit trails.

Investor KYC

Investor onboarding should build relationships, not delay closings. Yet collecting documents, verifying ownership, and navigating regulatory nuance can consume valuable time and frustrate LPs.

Avantia delivers a fully managed service - blending regulatory insight, legal precision, and automation. The result: faster onboarding, cross-border compliance, and a smoother investor experience.

Fewer duplicate requests, with clearer communication for LPs

Digital onboarding, built to meet regulatory and jurisdictional requirements

Automated checks and progress tracking to meet closing timelines

Ongoing Monitoring

Regulations require ongoing monitoring of KYC checks, but balancing compliance and counterparty relations can be a challenge.

 Benefit from specialist KYC screening technology, reducing the volume of false positives and linking all hits to your transaction information

View and access your complete KYC history on your client portal, in case of an audit

Managed service, with all ongoing hits reviewed by our KYC specialists before being escalated to you
