If a client outsources KYB to easyAML and a trust is found, who follows up?

The easyAML outsourcing team handles follow-up end to end, contacting the client for the trust deed and trustees, completing the trust KYB and sending KYC links to the controllers.

The easyAML outsourcing team handles the follow-up end-to-end. The firm doesn't need to chase the client for documents or beneficial-owner details.

What happens once a trust is detected mid-unwrap:

  1. easyAML contacts the client directly using the contact details provided at outsource sign-up.
  2. The team requests the trust deed and details of the trustees, appointor, settlor and adult named beneficiaries.
  3. Once received, easyAML completes the trust KYB on the firm's behalf, sends KYC links to each controlling person, and runs PEP/sanctions/adverse-media screening.
  4. The firm only re-enters the workflow if easyAML cannot reach the client, or if a red flag is raised that needs the firm's discretion (e.g. a PEP match, unusual structure indicators).
  5. Source-of-wealth and source-of-funds steps are run by the outsourcing team where the risk rating requires them.

This is particularly useful for complex structures (multi-layered trusts, family group structures) where the time saving over in-house handling is largest. Outsource Pricing: $50 + GST per matter plus standard KYC/KYB unit costs. The firm remains the reporting entity throughout - outsourcing removes the day-to-day work, not the legal obligation.
