Send Directors, Shareholders, PSCs AML Checks




Once a company record has been created in Connect, it is possible to register associated individuals—such as Directors, Shareholders, and Persons with Significant Control (PSCs)—as separate entities. This allows individual checks to be performed against each person.


These individuals are included within the company details returned when creating a company or retrieving it via a GET request. Specifically, they can be found within the fullReport object.




Available Entity Types


a) Directors


Director information is located within the directors object in the fullReport. This contains an array of currentDirectors.

Each director record includes key details such as name, address, nationality, and a unique id.


"directors": {
  "currentDirectors": [
    {
      "id": "string",
      "name": "string"
    }
  ]
}

b) Shareholders


Shareholder information is found within the shareCapitalStructure object, which contains a shareHolders array.

Each shareholder record includes identifying information such as name and an associated id.


"shareCapitalStructure": {
  "shareHolders": [
    {
      "id": "string",
      "name": "string"
    }
  ]
}


c) Persons with Significant Control (PSCs)


PSC details are located within the additionalInformation object, under personsWithSignificantControl. This contains an activePSC array.

Each PSC record includes basic identifying details and a unique id.


"additionalInformation": {
  "personsWithSignificantControl": {
    "activePSC": [
      {
        "id": "string",
        "name": "string"
      }
    ]
  }
}



Creating an Entity


The id values for Directors, Shareholders, and PSCs can be used to register these individuals as entities within Connect.


POST /api/v2/ci/companies/{id}/officer/{officerId}/entity



Additional Checks


Once individuals have been added to the system, subsequent checks can be carried out either issuing journeys or stand-alone checks. For further information on this, please click on the available links below:


How it works


  • Replace {id} with the Connect company id
  • Replace {officerId} with the id of the Director, Shareholder, or PSC

This will create an entity record for the individual, enabling further checks (such as sanctions screening) to be performed independently of the company.



Summary


  • Directors, Shareholders, and PSCs are available within the fullReport
  • Each individual includes a unique id
  • These id values can be used to create entity records
  • Entities enable standalone checks for associated individuals
