1. Institutional Due Diligence (KYB)
Prior to granting access to dedicated execution infrastructure or co-located routing clusters, Atelus conducts rigorous Know-Your-Business (KYB) verification on all prospective corporate entities. This includes certificate of incorporation audits, beneficial ownership transparency, and regulatory license verification.
2. Ultimate Beneficial Ownership (UBO)
Entities must identify all natural persons holding 25% or greater direct or indirect equity interest. Verification includes government photo identification, proof of legal address, and PEP (Politically Exposed Persons) screening.
3. Continuous Monitoring & Re-Verification
Institutional counterparties are subjected to periodic re-verification cycles to ensure continuous compliance with changing regulatory requirements and organizational ownership structures.
4. Confidentiality of Verification Records
All onboarding records and identification documentation are stored in encrypted, air-gapped repositories with strict access auditing to safeguard corporate confidentiality.
