Business verification and compliance

How we verify businesses and keep screening them

Written by Noah

Onboarding checks company registration, ownership and control, business activity, source of funds and the identities of required individuals. Identity checks include government-issued ID and liveness checks to confirm a live person is present. Altitude's compliance team reviews applications and may request more documents.

Sumsub supports anti-money-laundering screening and ongoing re-screening. Sanctions matches, politically exposed person matches, adverse media and other risk factors inform review. Higher-risk applications undergo enhanced due diligence, including source-of-wealth checks and Head of Compliance approval.

Eligibility depends on the company, its owners, business activities and requested services. Banking and card partners apply their own requirements. Approval for one service does not guarantee access to every service.

Chainalysis analyzes supported onchain transfer flows, while Corsa records alert review and escalation. These controls operate in Altitude's services, partner systems and compliance processes. Coverage and access restrictions vary by service and payment path.
