Business registries, official gazettes and ownership structure: identify UBOs and run directors through automatic AML screening.
Operational challenges
A prevention system breaks down when it is fragmented
Reporting entities need to show consistent criteria, not loose searches saved in different places.
Risk shows up after onboarding
A person can become a PEP or appear on a sanctions list once the business relationship is already active.
Without evidence, every review restarts
If there is no record of what was checked and when, the team redoes the work each time someone asks about a case.

Define controls around your risk assessment and keep the final call with your compliance officer.

Frequently asked questions
KYC and AML in Chile
- Who has to report to the UAF?
- Law 19.913 lists the reporting persons and entities, which include banks, card issuers, exchange houses, notaries, casinos, real estate brokers and other sectors.
- What does a risk-based approach involve?
- Classifying clients by risk level, applying enhanced due diligence to high-risk ones and documenting the criteria behind each classification.
- Does the platform cover PEP and sanctions lists?
- Yes. Screening checks politically exposed person and sanctions lists, and shows the detail behind each match for review.
- Can the active portfolio be monitored?
- Yes. Records can be re-evaluated periodically to catch changes after onboarding, with the date and result of every review.
- Does it replace the compliance officer?
- No. Workflows keep human review: the platform gathers information and evidence, and the final decision stays with the team.
- Does Legal Talent guarantee regulatory compliance?
- No. The platform provides operational tooling; each entity must define and validate its own duties and controls.
