Problem
Financial intermediaries and companies face fragmented compliance workflows, requiring multiple tools for company verification, person identification, sanctions screening, and ongoing monitoring. New Swiss transparency register obligations (TJPG) place additional burdens on over 500,000 legal entities by October 2026, while manual processes risk missed deadlines and regulatory penalties.
Solution
Advonis provides a unified compliance platform that brings together company and person verification, AML screening, risk profiling, ongoing monitoring, and e-signatures in one system with a complete audit trail. It automatically fetches data from Zefix, SHAB, and all 26 cantonal registers, fills out CDB 20 forms, and conducts online identity checks of individuals compliant with FINMA-RS 2016/7. The platform classifies entities according to the customer's own risk matrix and runs automated AML monitoring cycles per risk class, while sanction and PEP data is stored locally and synchronized hourly. For the upcoming transparency register, Advonis identifies beneficial owners across all legal forms and documents them in an audit-proof manner, with e-signature capabilities covering EES, FES, and QES levels.
Target Audience
Primary customers are Swiss financial intermediaries under FINMA, self-regulatory organization (SRO) oversight, or anti-money laundering (AMLA) obligations, including banks, insurers, asset managers, trustees, domiciliation companies, crypto/payment providers, and trust companies with relevant mandates.
