Pythagoras und dun & bradstreet helfen Ihnen, Ihre Sorgfaltspflichten zu erfüllen und sich konform zu dem Gesetz über das Aufspüren von Gewinnen aus schweren Straftaten (Geldwäschegesetz – GwG) zu verhalten.

Thanks to the cooperation between MCO Pythagoras and Dun & Bradstreet, you get a more comprehensive overview of beneficial owners of companies by comparing them with transparency registers and other data.

The integration of this UBO database into our module enables efficient identification of the Ultimate Beneficial Owner (UBO), integrated into your KYC compliance processes. This makes it easier for you to check complex ownership structures and ensure legal compliance;

In addition, Partner Screening allows you to recognise potential risks in connection with UBOs that you could not identify by simply comparing them with the transparency register.

Compliance is in turn essential for adherence to the anti-money laundering regulations under the German Money Laundering Act (GwG), which requires clarification of beneficial owners prior to transactions in order to avoid penalties.

A UBO is defined as any natural person, who directly or indirectly holds more than 25 % of the shares or voting rights or has a similarly significant influence and therefore plays a central role in the company structure.
