Regulated client onboarding
Run regulated client onboarding as one controlled workflow.
Regulated client onboarding software should connect relationship qualification, KYC and KYB intake, evidence, external checks, configured risk, human review, approval and later refresh. Swootle brings those stages into one operating path with clear customer, configuration and reviewer responsibilities.
Implementation boundary: External providers perform identity verification, KYC/KYB checks, sanctions and other screening. Swootle orchestrates the configured work and returns results to the workflow; humans retain decisions and approval authority. Exact providers, checks, jurisdiction scope and retention depend on your workspace and implementation.
How the workflow fits together
Qualify the relationship
Start with the service, relationship and risk context
Identify the relationship, service, jurisdiction, purpose and expected activity before asking for evidence. Workflow orchestration is the configuration layer that determines which customer path and review stages apply.
- Relationship, service or matter qualification
- Jurisdiction, purpose and expected activity
- Relevant KYC, KYB and review path
Collect the structure
Capture individuals, entities, trusts and beneficial ownership
Use the customer portal as the collection surface for individual identity, company or entity details, trust roles, controllers, beneficial owners and related parties required by the configured path.
- Individual and entity identity details
- Trustees, settlors, beneficiaries and controllers
- Beneficial-owner and ownership-chain information
Evidence and checks
Connect evidence to provider-returned KYC, KYB and screening context
Request documents and declarations alongside configured KYC, KYB, sanctions and other screening steps. Returned results stay with the workflow context for the next configured action.
- Evidence requests mapped to the customer path
- External-provider verification and screening results
- Clear boundaries for providers, checks and integrations
Risk and EDD
Route configured risk outcomes to human review
Use configured risk factors and thresholds to route incomplete, inconsistent or higher-risk cases into enhanced due diligence. Risk review is the exception and reviewer path; your team retains the risk decision.
- Configured risk factors and outcomes
- Enhanced due diligence evidence requests
- Human review for exceptions and higher-risk cases
Approval and handoff
Retain the rationale behind approval and operational handoff
Move approved work into the next operational handoff with a connected record of what was submitted, which checks returned, who reviewed it and why the outcome was reached.
- Approval, return and escalation paths
- Handoff to the responsible operational team
- Retained decision rationale and action history
Refresh and regional paths
Keep ongoing review current with regional context
Configure periodic or event-led refresh and ongoing review workflows, then map jurisdiction-specific evidence, review and approval expectations to the regional operating path your team uses.
- Updated customer, entity and ownership information
- Changed service, evidence or risk context
- Earlier submissions and rationale retained for comparison
