KYC & AML Requirements

All clients must complete identity verification (KYC) before formation begins. This is a legal requirement in every jurisdiction we operate in, not a Westbase choice.

We verify:

Government-issued photo ID (passport preferred)
Proof of residential address (utility bill or bank statement)
Beneficial ownership declaration
Source of funds declaration (for certain jurisdictions)

Westbase uses automated identity verification technology with human review for edge cases. All data is handled per our Privacy Policy.
