Seeing increased scrutiny on transaction patterns for entities registered in specific offshore jurisdictions, even with seemingly clean UBO disclosures. Are others experiencing similar heightened AML red flags, potentially impacting onboarding timelines?
We've seen some of that. The 'clean' UBOs don't seem to stop the enhanced due diligence anymore, especially if there's any perceived complexity in the corporate structure. It definitely slows things down.
That's interesting. I'm just starting to look into setting up an offshore entity for my own ventures, and I was wondering how much of a headache the AML checks would actually be. Is there a particular jurisdiction that seems to be causing the most trouble for you right now?
