Specialized Services for Citizenship by Investment (CBI) Programs
GDA plays a critical role in supporting Citizenship by Investment (CBI) programs, ensuring that governments and CBI agents maintain the highest security and compliance standards. The firm’s two key services—Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD) and KYC (Know Your Customer)—are vital in rigorously vetting applicants, safeguarding program integrity, and reducing risk.
Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD):
GDA’s Enhanced Due Diligence service involves a comprehensive examination of an applicant’s personal, professional, and financial background. This includes in-depth investigations into an individual’s identity, financial history, sources of funds, business dealings, discreet reputation checks, and potential involvement in criminal or illegal activities. GDA also provides global risk assessments, evaluating the applicant’s international connections and affiliations to ensure compliance with anti-money laundering (AML) regulations and detect potential red flags such as fraud, money laundering, or political exposure. Additionally, GDA can continuously monitor approved applicants to identify any risks or changes in their profiles that could affect program integrity.
KYC (Know Your Customer):
GDA’s KYC services help verify the identity and background of CBI applicants, ensuring that all necessary regulatory requirements are met. This process includes verifying identity documents and passports and conducting detailed background checks to detect potential fraud or misrepresentation. By confirming the authenticity of an applicant’s information, GDA helps ensure that only legitimate candidates are considered for CBI programs, reducing risks to governments and agents.
With over five decades of experience, Globe Detective Agency continues to lead the industry in providing specialized investigative services. Through its Enhanced Due Diligence and KYC offerings, GDA plays an essential role in helping CBI programs maintain transparency, security, and compliance, ensuring the success and integrity of these global initiatives.
Sachit Kumar, 61, who oversees 3,500 employees says retirement isn’t even on his mind, especially since the Indian market is booming.
