UBO discovery is still one of the messiest parts of KYB.

Too many teams waste hours stitching together incomplete data and untangling registry gaps, just to answer one question: Who’s really in control?

Strise cuts through the noise

Strise’s ownership map is designed to simplify UBO discovery. It automatically surfaces beneficial owners and key relationships, even in the most complex structures.

And over the last few weeks, we’ve made it even better.

Map what the registry missed

You can now create custom companies or individuals directly within the ownership map as you find them.

Map the complete structure in one place, without breaking your workflow.

Build the full picture, even when data is missing.

Full visibility, down to the last share

The ownership map includes data for minor shareholders, giving you a more complete network view.

This makes it easier to:

  • Spot subtle patterns
  • Uncover hidden risks
  • Act with greater precision

UBOs, made obvious

We’ve made identifying Beneficial Owners even clearer.

  • UBOs are now prominently highlighted
  • You can hover to see exactly why they’re flagged (ownership %, control type, etc.)
  • You make faster, more confident decisions

With Strise, your team no longer chases fragmented ownership information.

You gain a dynamic, clear, and structured view of every relationship, ready for review, export, and audit.

Custom-created entities behave like any other company in Strise:

  • Full KYB and KYC review flows
  • Ownership and role assignments
  • Risk documentation
  • Complete audit trail

Yes, it’s all available via API, too.
