Ultimate Beneficial Ownership (UBO)
The Ultimate Beneficial Ownership can be understood as the person, natural or legal, who controls a company or property, on whose behalf a transaction is carried out, and who makes the decisions, according to the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) - a regulatory body for combating money laundering and terrorist financing.
Businesses of all sizes must identify beneficial owners as part of their business partner verification. You are expected to know exactly which partners you do business with.
