i. What It Is

Reverse KYC, in plain terms.

Definition
Reverse KYC is the process by which a fund manager responds to the due diligence requests of its counterparties (banks, prime brokers, fund administrators, lenders, vendors, and onboarding partners) rather than performing diligence on its own clients.
Document production Structure charts, formation documents, regulatory licenses, authorized signatory schedules, beneficial ownership records.
Questionnaire handling AML and CTF questionnaires, UBO declarations, PEP screening responses, sanctions attestations, source-of-funds confirmations.
Counterparty correspondence Direct engagement with counterparty compliance teams, scope negotiation, follow-up resolution, formal clearance confirmation.
Periodic refresh cycles Scheduled re-certifications, material change disclosures, annual recertification packages, ongoing monitoring responses.
ii. Why It's a Problem

Your legal team isn't paid to chase structure charts.

Every counterparty arrives with a different template, a different deadline, and an inconsistent scope. The work is critical, repetitive, time-sensitive, and impossible to delegate cleanly to any existing internal function.

/ 01

Fragmented intake

Requests arrive across email, PDF, secure portals, and bespoke counterparty workflows. No version control, no precedent linkage, no defensible audit trail when the next request asks for the same thing in a slightly different format.

/ 02

Clearance bottleneck

A credit facility, a new prime broker line, an LP onboarding, a vendor approval. Each waits in queue until KYC clears. The opportunity cost of slow clearance is rarely measured, but always paid in lost optionality.

/ 03

Misallocated expertise

The work falls on senior counsel and compliance leadership whose time is priced for judgement, not for re-formatting AML letters and rebuilding org charts for the fourth counterparty this quarter.

→ 01 · Onboard

Mandate framing

We map your entity structure, counterparty profile, document inventory, and escalation thresholds into a confidential operating playbook.

→ 02 · Intake

Counterparty handover

Inbound requests route directly to a named senior lead. Your internal team is informed at decision points and removed from the back-and-forth in between.

→ 03 · Respond

Drafting and review

Responses are drafted from your playbook using agentic acceleration, then reviewed line-by-line by the named practitioner before any document leaves our perimeter.

→ 04 · Clear

Versioned audit trail

Every exchange is logged, versioned, and retained in your dedicated workspace. When audit cycles arrive, whether internal, external, or regulatory, the record is already there.

iv. The Operating Layer

AI-native operations. Regulator-grade judgment.

Counterparty due diligence at scale is a structured workflow, not a discretionary act. We've rebuilt it as one.

AI agents parse every incoming request, classifying by counterparty type, jurisdiction, urgency, and documentary requirement. They draft first-pass responses pulling from your master KYC file, prior counterparty patterns, and current regulatory positions. Every response is then reviewed, edited, and signed off by a senior practitioner before transmission.

Agents handle 80% of the volume.
Humans handle 100% of the judgment.
Intake

Classification

Automated routing of every counterparty request by type, jurisdiction, and urgency. No request goes unrouted, no jurisdiction goes unmapped.

Draft

First-pass response

AI-generated responses grounded in your master KYC file, prior counterparty precedent, and current regulatory positions across operating jurisdictions.

Review

Senior sign-off

Every response edited and approved by a named senior practitioner, either a senior compliance officer or in-house counsel, before transmission. No exceptions, no analyst hand-offs.

v. Why Diligencia

Three things that materially separate us from the existing options.

01

Senior lawyers and compliance officers, in-house

Every engagement is led by senior in-house counsel paired with experienced compliance officers. When a counterparty asks something genuinely difficult, such as an unusual UBO structure, a contested attestation, or a multi-lender clearance, the answer comes from professionals qualified to give it. Legal judgment and compliance operations integrated from intake, not bolted on through external referrals or routed to junior analysts.

Lawyer-led
02

Genuinely global, not US-centric

We operate across US, UK, EU, Asia-Pacific, and Middle East regimes with equal depth, including the principal offshore centres. Counterparty requests rarely respect borders, and neither do we. Your reverse KYC operation should not be limited by the geographic centre of gravity of your service provider.

Global by design
03

One point of accountability

You receive a named lead, a named delivery team, and a single SLA covering every request that arrives. No routing tickets, no swapped analysts, no escalation paths that leave you guessing who actually owns clearance. Senior accountability from intake to closeout.
