transfer agents use Steward

Investor Onboarding

Dynamic, configurable workflows adapt KYC and KYB requirements based on client fund type, investor jurisdiction, and risk profile, enabling streamlined service delivery.

Screening

Sanctions, PEP, and adverse media screening embedded across entities and UBOs - not isolated alerts.
