High-value transactions are prime targets for money laundering, and intermediaries can obscure true ownership.
Clients often value privacy and discretion making collecting information for CDD challenging.

Art market participants (AMPs) are subject to AML regulations such as the UK Money Laundering Regulations (MLRs) when transactions meet certain thresholds.
Required checks typically include identity verification (ID&V), beneficial ownership checks, sanctions and PEP screening, and ongoing checks and monitoring for suspicious activity.
A compliance platform should support fast, remote biometric identity verification, document authentication across global ID types, and low-friction onboarding flows. This allows galleries to meet compliance obligations while maintaining a premium, discreet client experience expected in high-value art transactions.
KYB checks should include company registration verification, beneficial ownership identification (UBOs), director checks, and sanctions/PEP screening. For art houses, this is critical when dealing with offshore entities, advisors, or agents acting on behalf of buyers.
ID-Pal enables fast and comprehensive KYC/B checks, identity verification, and screening and monitoring within a single platform without creating friction.
