AML compliance built for corporate service providers

The Singapore CSP Act is in force and ACRA registration is mandatory. WIDTH runs client KYC, entity KYB, automated UBO discovery, and STR filing in one audit trail — aligned to FATF Recommendations 22 to 25.

Three obligations that now carry real liability

As a DNFBP, every corporate and trust service provider must identify the people behind the companies it forms — and prove it to ACRA on demand.

Beneficial owners hide behind layered structures

Nominee shareholders, trusts, and multi-jurisdiction holding chains obscure the real controller. Tracing the ultimate beneficial owner by hand is slow, error-prone, and the hardest obligation a CSP carries.

WIDTH discovers UBOs automatically. Nested ownership chains are unwrapped to the 25% controller, cross-referenced against corporate registries, and refreshed continuously — meeting FATF Rec 24/25 on legal persons and trusts.

Registration now comes with a full AML programme

Under the CSP Act, providers — including those serving only overseas clients — must register with ACRA and run customer due diligence, risk assessment, screening, STR filing, and training. Gaps carry six-figure penalties and criminal liability for the firm and its senior management.

WIDTH delivers an audit-ready AML programme out of the box. CDD, risk-based classification, screening, and STR workflows are pre-mapped to the CSP Act and FATF Rec 22/23 — your registered qualified individual publishes without building from scratch.

Nominee directors and records multiply your exposure

Each nominee-director arrangement needs a fit-and-proper check and disclosure of the nominator to ACRA. Every client relationship needs complete CDD records, retained and producible on inspection — across a book of hundreds of entities.

WIDTH keeps one immutable record per client and entity. Nominee governance, nominator disclosure tracking, and a versioned audit trail per decision — exportable for ACRA inspection with 10-year retention.
