Summary What does Article 13 of the RTS on customer due diligence say?

This article addresses how obliged entities must handle senior managing officials — specifically those who are recorded in place of a beneficial owner where no beneficial owner can be identified.

The article applies the same standard to senior managing officials as to beneficial owners, creating a mirroring approach: whatever is collected and verified for a beneficial owner must equally be collected and verified for a senior managing official.

The one notable flexibility is around address information.

Important points:

Collect the same information for senior managing officials as you would for beneficial owners.
Verify the identity of senior managing officials using the same process applied to beneficial owners.
You may use the registered office address of the legal entity in place of the senior managing official's personal residential address and country of residence.
