Business verification (KYB) in Côte d’Ivoire: RCCM, CEPICI and beneficial owners

Opening an account for a company means checking that it exists, who runs it and who really owns it. Verita reads the company documents, compares them with the official Ivorian sources and checks every director and every beneficial owner.

Legal-form inconsistencies are detected, for example an SARL in the register declared as an SAS.
Directors, shareholders and beneficial owners are identified, with the ownership chain.
Every signatory goes through the full KYC journey, and every beneficial owner is screened for AML/CFT.
