At Qustodis, and with our tool Verteqx, we offer a variety of solutions to and for AMLA Obliged Entities, AML Gatekeepers, or other relevant parties such as start ups, asset managers, venture capital and private equity firms, family offices, and many more.
Qustodis can also help any company that needs to be compliant with (EU) regulations relating to the Know Your Customer (KYC), Know Your Business (KYB) and Customer Due Diligence (CDD) requirements of their bank, notary, regulator(s), or other relevant stakeholders.
Please see below which companies we can help and in what situations. If you have any questions, or doubt whether Qustodis can help you, please reach out and we will look into it together!
Below, some visuals of what our tool can do, and where we are going/what we are trying to implement.
International and complex, cross border, fund structures, (private) foundations, our tool can still show and calculate the applicable UBO(s) with ease.
This chart is a fictional example. The Novara group, its entities and the people in it do not exist; the structure is here to show what the tool produces. No rights can be derived from it, and it is not advice on any real structure.
Over sixty legal forms, grouped by country and named the way the local deed names them: a B.V. and a STAK beside a S.à r.l., an SCSp, a GmbH & Co. KG and a Cayman ELP. Roles carry their local term too: a general partner reads as beherend vennoot in a Dutch C.V. and Komplementär in a German KG.
Interests are multiplied down every path and summed across them, with ownership and voting rights tested separately. Certificates, preference shares and shareholders' agreements split the two: the calculation follows the split instead of assuming they match.
A passport behind a date of birth, a deed behind a percentage, an AML fund letter behind the investors nobody has met. Exports go out as PDF, CSV, BODS and BORIS, with a hash-chained audit trail that can be re-verified outside the application.
Below, an example of the portal where information and documents are stored over the years as a result of performed reviews, and can be shared with banks, auditors, regulators, and any other party you deem relevant. Every document has its own number, is shared per stakeholder for a set period, and a record is kept of who received what, and when.
| Document ID | Document | Added | Term | Shared with |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| DOC-4M7Q2X | Deed of incorporation, Meerdijk Holding B.V. | 02-10-2026 | 5 years | Bank, notary |
| DOC-9T3K6V | UBO register extract, Novara Bidco S.à r.l. | 05-10-2026 | 3 months | Bank |
| DOC-2R8H5W | Shareholders’ register, Nordic Precision AB | 07-10-2026 | 1 year | Auditor |
| DOC-6C4N9J | Articles of association, Weiss Beteiligungs GmbH | 08-10-2026 | 5 years | Bank, auditor |
| DOC-3F7P2Z | AML fund letter, Aurora Fund IV SCSp | 12-10-2026 | 1 year | Not shared |
This portal is a fictional example. The documents, numbers, stakeholders and dates do not exist; the screen is here to show how sharing is organised. No rights can be derived from it.
Where Verteqx is going, in three parts. The end goal: one secure home for all UBO information, an AI-agent that works with it around the clock, and Multi-Party Computation through which connected organisations confirm the same UBO(s) without handing over the underlying data.
The AI-agent will replace the now abundant KYC-analysts at the banks. This AI-agent is 24/7 available to question and answer anything from you and your stakeholders, regarding the available and shared information and documents. But, it can also import, read, change and update your organisational chart, information, and documents. This saves time, money, effort, and emailing back and forth.
This is the heart of our tool, which creates the organisational chart, contains the Stakeholder & Document Portal (which stores all the relevant information and documents), and connects the AI-agent, and the underlying data with the Multi-Party Computation (MPC) model.
As part of the AMLR, information sharing between Obliged Entities and AML Gatekeepers is being strengthened. With MPC, organizations can share securely and draw on collective intelligence from sensitive data, without compromising data privacy. This helps all connected companies to align on and confirm the most up-to-date UBO(s), information and documents.
The same structure means different things depending on who is looking at it. Below, the parties Verteqx is built for, and what the chart has to answer for each of them.
A compliant organisational chart for your bank’s KYB and CDD checks, from one holding to a group across a dozen countries. Qustodis draws the structure for you, or you draw it yourself with Verteqx, and you hand your bank a file it can use as it is.
KYB · CDDA clear chart at incorporation, with founders, holdings and option pool, ready for the next funding round. Qustodis also keeps your cap table, so every round and every new investor shows up as a change in who owns and controls what, and the structure stays correct as you grow.
Incorporation · Funding roundsOnboard corporate clients without rebuilding the group by hand: gaps, totals and unverified UBOs at a glance. Qustodis sets out the ownership chain with its sources, so your analysts review a finished structure instead of reconstructing one, at onboarding and at every periodic review.
Onboarding · Periodic reviewThe ownership behind a cross-border merchant in one chart, sources included, ready for an acquirer or scheme audit. Qustodis builds the structure from the deeds and registers and keeps it current, so merchant onboarding and KYB reviews take less time.
Merchant onboarding · KYBEvery client group in one format across jurisdictions, including trusts, STAKs and foundations. Qustodis sets out each structure with the retention clock and the roles that matter, so a whole portfolio of client groups can be reviewed and reported on in the same way.
TCSP · Wwft / AMLRTurn deeds and articles into a chart that client and bank both accept, with the source beside every figure. Qustodis reads the structure off the documents with you, and shows share registers, certification and voting rights separately from economic entitlement.
Deeds · Share registersMap who controls what before you advise, with every version kept. Qustodis shows what a restructuring or a reorganisation for tax purposes would move, and keeps each version so you can show the structure as it stood on the day you advised.
Advice · RestructuringGPs, LPs and carry vehicles in one chart, with the AML fund letter kept apart from what the bank sees. Qustodis keeps the cap table of each fund and portfolio company, so a new commitment or an exit shows up in the ownership structure.
GP / LP · Fund letterOne chart per mandate or vehicle, with AIFM and depositary, reusable for bank, depositary and supervisor. Qustodis sets up the structure once and keeps it current, so the same file can be handed to each of them without redrawing it.
AIFM · DepositaryThree ways to work with us, and they differ in one thing: how much of the drawing stays with Qustodis. Every option is priced on request: scope, jurisdictions and the number of groups decide the figure, so a list price would tell you nothing.

Below, an overview of the clients we have helped: those for whom we built a single organisational chart, those whose chart we keep up to date, and those who requested a Verteqx licence of their own.

Read the case →Verteqx is the name of our proprietary tool, derived from vertex: the point where two or more lines or points meet. In our case, displaying the most important part: ownership and control structure and the UBO-trail(s).
Qustodis is the company that built Verteqx, derived from custodian: we look after the information and documents that pass through our tool, meticulously. Privacy-by-design.
To be written. Who founded Qustodis, what they did before, and the work that made it obvious the tool had to exist: the years spent redrawing the same group in a spreadsheet, and what a supervisor asked that a spreadsheet could not answer.
To be written. Where the AML, trust and notarial experience comes from, which jurisdictions it covers, and why Verteqx takes the positions it does on certificates, voting rights and fund letters.
Qustodis came out of doing the work ourselves. The tasks a KYC analyst has to get through are inefficient and slow, and whatever the file, they always come back to one question: who are the ultimate beneficial owners?
The organisational chart, and subsequently the UBO-trail (data), is where that question gets answered, which is why the chart is the most important aspect that has to be right, and has to be right every time.
Now, every organisational chart is still drawn and checked by a real person. Qustodis aims and is sure that this process will and can be replaced with AI and AI-Agents within a safe and secure environment. All applicable data is handled and stored in accordance with EU regulations and directives.
Qustodis’ ultimate goal is to replace the thousands of KYC analysts working today with AI-Agents and to make the whole KYB, KYC, CDD process faster, more efficient, easier and cheaper for everyone who is involved.
Everyone should be able to spend their time on their core business, not on: supplying information and documents such as organisational charts, filling in UBO declarations and answering one more round of questions of KYC-analysts.
Our goal is to make the determination of beneficial ownership uniform, and to let the outcome be shared between parties without anyone handing over the underlying data, through developments such as multi-party computation (MPC). Because currently, every company / institution / bank / etc. applies its own understanding of the UBO(s), its own working method and its own internal policy, and it is the business client and/or natural person which has to pay the price for this inconvenience.
