KYC Services
Unlock KYC solutions for a dynamic regulatory landscape
Today’s rapidly evolving regulatory environment means that firms are increasingly looking at faster and more cost-effective methods to comply with and reduce the burden of Know Your Customer (KYC) requirements.
KYC Services is a vital part of the overall S&P Global due diligence workflow process for brokers, custodians, corporates, fund admins, managers and service providers. Our market-leading solution is built on Counterparty Manager, the industry standard for entity exchange, and ensures that entity data, document collection, tax profile validation, regulatory protocols and self-declarations, legal credit agreements and operational setup information is complete, accurate and up to date.

Investment Manager
We look forward to working closely with S&P Global in using Counterparty Manager, Tax Utility, KYC Services and the entire regulatory and compliance ecosystem. The seamless interoperability between these platforms to support client onboarding, master agreement negotiation and tax validation as a unified group of steps is particularly beneficial.
Multinational Bank
One of the biggest challenges to conducting KYC in Asia is the regional variation for cross border compliance, which adds a layer of complexity to managing our customer relationships. For us it's about establishing best practice and mutualizing efforts to remove some of the regional anomalies. KYC Services supports this and provides a more cost-effective way to conduct our business.
Investment Bank
We actively support the use of KYC utilities and have been investing in the development of KYC Service as a founding design partner since its inception. Now that the service has been developed, we want to encourage market adoption. We are inviting customers to subscribe to this service and contribute their KYC documentation and data to KYC Services.
