Periodic checks once in a while. Perpetual catches it as it happens.

The difference isn't a feature — it's the whole model. Here's how the two approaches compare on the things a compliance team actually cares about.

Find out what you already missed.

Send up to 50 companies as a CSV or a pasted list. We match them against 400+ government registries and return every filing made since your last review.

Every registry event that changes your risk.

Tracked straight from the primary government record — the source itself, not a copy of a copy. Sourced directly from 400+ government registries across 200+ countries.

Status & insolvency events

Dissolution, liquidation, administration, strike-off notices and dormancy — flagged the day they hit the register.

UBO & ownership changes

New beneficial owners, shareholding transfers and control changes that trigger re-screening obligations.

Director appointments & exits

New officers, resignations and disqualifications — including directors linked to previously failed entities.

Filings & accounts

New annual accounts, overdue filings and confirmation statements — the earliest distress signals before a default.

Name & address changes

Legal name changes, registered office moves and jurisdiction shifts that silently break your records.

Group structure changes

New subsidiaries, mergers and parent changes across the corporate group — mapped to your exposure.

How Global Database ensures perpetual updates.

Five steps, running every day across 400+ government registries. Nothing to schedule, nothing to trigger.

01

Collect and store

Primary data pulled daily from 400+ government registries and stored on our own servers in Germany. Every search, API call and alert is answered from that copy.

02

Detect real changes

Each day's filings are compared against the copy we hold. Formatting noise is discarded, and every real change is stamped with its source registry and filing date.

03

Resolve and normalise

Names, addresses and identifiers are reconciled across jurisdictions. Ownership chains update in context, so one company's change reflects across its group.

04

Digitise filed accounts

Accounts filed as PDFs or scans become structured fields with OCR and AI — balance sheet, P&L and cash flow. Some jurisdictions carry 20 years of history.

05

Propagate same day

Every monitored company touched by a filing updates the same day. The alert reaches you by webhook, bulk feed, platform, or your AI connector.

One price per company. Unlimited updates for twelve months.

Periodic verification charges per lookup — and most lookups return no change. Perpetual pricing charges per relationship, so you only pay for coverage, never for checking.

Periodic · pay per lookup

20,000 calls / yr

5,000 suppliers checked quarterly. 19,800 of those lookups return no change.

Perpetual KYB, answered.

What is perpetual KYB monitoring?

Perpetual KYB is the continuous, event-driven verification of a business customer after onboarding. Instead of re-verifying on a fixed schedule, the system tracks ownership, directors, status, and filings, and triggers a review only when something material changes. It is also called pKYB, continuous KYB, or event-driven KYB.

What is the difference between periodic KYB and perpetual KYB?

Periodic KYB reviews business customers on a fixed schedule, typically annually or quarterly. Perpetual KYB monitors continuously and reviews when the data changes. The difference shows up in detection speed: up to 12 months under an annual cycle versus the same day the filing is made under perpetual monitoring.

Is perpetual KYB legally required?

Not by name. No major framework — FinCEN CDD, 6AMLD, the UK Money Laundering Regulations, FATF Recommendation 10 — uses the term. All of them, however, require ongoing monitoring of the business relationship, including keeping customer information up to date. Periodic reviews satisfy the literal rule for low-risk relationships; recent enforcement actions increasingly cite detection gaps rather than onboarding errors.

How often should KYB reviews be conducted?

Match frequency to risk. Low-risk: every 24 to 36 months. Medium-risk: annually. High-risk: every six months or less. For very high-risk relationships, continuous monitoring is the more defensible model. Most regulators expect a documented risk-based approach rather than a uniform calendar.

What is the KYB risk window?

The time between when a material change happens to a counterparty and when your compliance team finds out. With annual reviews the window can stretch to 12 months. With registry-source, event-driven monitoring it collapses to the same day the filing is made.

What events should trigger a KYB review?

High-priority triggers: new beneficial owner, director appointment or resignation, company status change, insolvency filing, jurisdiction change, merger or acquisition. Lower-priority triggers: business activity reclassification, address change, contact update. Effective programs treat these differently — same-day alerts for material changes, batched review for the rest.

What causes alert fatigue in continuous KYB monitoring?

Polling-based detection. Tools that compare daily registry snapshots flag any difference, including formatting noise: reformatted addresses, capitalisation changes, timestamp refreshes, re-sorted director lists. Analysts spend hours dismissing non-material differences and start to deprioritise the queue.

What is the difference between event-driven and polling-based KYB monitoring?

Polling-based monitoring queries registries on a fixed schedule and flags any difference between today's snapshot and yesterday's. Event-driven monitoring detects actual changes at the registry source as filings are made. Both can be marketed as continuous — only one reduces analyst workload. Event-driven detection typically cuts alert volume by 80 to 90%.

How much can perpetual KYB reduce compliance workload?

Industry estimates put the saving at 50 to 90% of routine review labour, depending on the maturity of the previous program and the quality of change detection. Most periodic reviews find that nothing changed. The savings only materialise if detection is event-driven; polling-based tools often add noise on top of the original review cadence.

Should I run periodic KYB and perpetual KYB together?

For most mature programs, yes. Ownership, directors, and status changes belong on event-driven monitoring. Annual financial filings, full relationship attestation, and risk-rating reviews still benefit from a scheduled cadence. This hybrid is what most regulators implicitly expect when they reference a risk-based approach.
