KYC software for investment funds

Who this is for

Investment funds, fund administrators and emerging managers who need to onboard limited partners before a close, without standing up a bank AML stack or stitching together an identity API, a screening vendor and a spreadsheet.

If you are still collecting passport scans over email, screening names by hand, and rebuilding the file when an LP or examiner asks, this page is the product view of that problem. The longer buying guides stay on the KYC software for investment funds and KYC and AML software for funds and VC articles.

What the fund actually has to produce

A GP does not need a pass/fail score in a developer dashboard. It needs a timestamped, exportable KYC and AML file it can attach to a subscription, share with a fund administrator, or hand over in an exam.

VeriKYC runs the sequence in one guided flow:

• Government-issued ID and document authenticity checks against official databases
• Biometric liveness matching so a photograph or a deepfake does not satisfy the check
• Sanctions, PEP and adverse-media screening
• Ultimate beneficial ownership mapping when the LP is a company, trust or fund-of-funds
• A timestamped audit trail covering every decision and re-check

The clerical work is automated. Risk thresholds, policy and sign-off on a borderline file stay with your team.

LP onboarding, not consumer signup

Generic identity tools were built for high-volume fintech apps. Fund onboarding is the opposite: fewer counterparties, higher stakes, entity LPs, cross-border closes, and a file that has to survive LP diligence.

VeriKYC is built for that workflow. Your team sends a request or the investor opens a smart form. Documents come in from a phone or a laptop. Screening and ownership checks run in the same pass. Anything that needs judgement is flagged for a human reviewer rather than silently approved.

Screening with LSEG World-Check

VeriKYC screening is powered by LSEG World-Check, the London Stock Exchange Group's risk intelligence database. It aggregates information from more than 100,000 credible sources and is used by over 300 global financial institutions.

That means a lean GP or a fund administrator can run the same screening infrastructure as a large bank, without negotiating a data licence or building an integration. World-Check screening is included in VeriKYC processes that require advanced KYC/AML verification. Enhanced reports and continuous monitoring are priced before activation.

This is an integration, not a World-Check alternative. The full screening page is LSEG World-Check in VeriKYC. Company context lives on About VeriKYC.

What stays out of this page

VeriKYC does not replace your transfer agent, your subscription portal, or your legal judgement. It produces the identity, screening, ownership and audit file those processes need so the close is not blocked on missing KYC.
