Entities we onboard

This page describes which entity types we can support across our different onboarding models and channels. To find your entity type, go through the list below. If it isn't included below, just get in touch and we'll see if we can help.

Onboard a limited company

To onboard a limited company, you will need to capture information about the company itself and also verify the identities of any company directors or people with significant control (PSCs).

Onboarding models

We've designed three onboarding models — Verify, Reliance, and Outsourced — to fit different business needs. Each model offers a different level of control, responsibility, and tooling for customer onboarding and ongoing financial crime compliance.

Outsourced onboarding

In outsourcing we do not complete third party checks on the data sent to our system, this is done by you. We are validating that required data exists and that the customer is not out of appetite for industry, jurisdiction or risk profile purposes.

Outsourced: Onboard a limited company

Under our outsourcing model, Griffin does not perform independent third-party verification of the data you submit. We define the information required to meet account opening and regulatory reporting obligations, and when data is submitted, we validate that the required fields are present and screen the customer against our appetite criteria — including industry, jurisdiction, and risk profile.

Outsourced: Onboard a society

Under our outsourcing model, Griffin does not perform independent third-party verification of the data you submit. We define the information required to meet account opening and regulatory reporting obligations, and when data is submitted, we validate that the required fields are present and screen the customer against our appetite criteria — including industry, jurisdiction, and risk profile.

Outsourced: Onboard a sole trader

Under our outsourcing model, Griffin does not perform independent third-party verification of the data you submit. We define the information required to meet account opening and regulatory reporting obligations, and when data is submitted, we validate that the required fields are present and screen the customer against our appetite criteria — including industry, jurisdiction, and risk profile.

Outsourced: Onboard an individual

Under our outsourcing model, Griffin does not perform independent third-party verification of the data you submit. We define the information required to meet account opening and regulatory reporting obligations, and when data is submitted, we validate that the required fields are present and screen the customer against our appetite criteria — including industry, jurisdiction, and risk profile.

Reliance onboarding

Reliance is for use by regulated firms only, onboarding via Reliance is only available by API.

Senior managers

When you onboard a limited company, you'll typically declare its directors and any people with significant control (PSCs). Some companies have no PSCs — for example, where shareholding is widely distributed and no single individual holds ≥25% of the shares or voting rights. In those cases, you need to identify one of the company's directors as the senior manager: the individual who has ultimate control of the company.
