Luxury Goods / Art / Collectibles
Buyer/seller verification for high-value transactions exposed to AML expectations.
Why this segment is under pressure
The art and luxury sectors are firmly in scope of modern AML/sanctions regimes. In the UK and EU, art market participants (dealers, galleries, auction houses) must register, perform CDD, and keep records. Supervisors have begun imposing penalties for documentation failures and controls gaps. Insurers and counterparties expect standardized, time-stamped evidence of checks before high-value sales close.[1]
Sales teams need to run checks quickly across jurisdictions and store results in a way that is defensible months later. With multiple intermediaries (consignors, agents, shippers), batch screening and secure, expiring share links reduce friction.
Common challenges we see
- Tight timelines before closing/auction
- Multiple counterparties per deal (buyers, consignors, agents)
- Insurer/regulator evidence requirements
