AsiaVerify launches Perpetual KYB, an award-winning continuous company monitoring solution that tells compliance teams what changed across APAC registries, not just that something did.
Perpetual KYB keeps compliance and risk teams ahead of the registry changes that periodic re-checks miss.
London, October 13, 2026 – AsiaVerify, the industry-leading APAC business verification and risk intelligence provider, today launches Perpetual KYB, its award-winning continuous monitoring solution for compliance and risk teams managing company portfolios across Asia-Pacific. Perpetual KYB monitors live official registry data across nine APAC markets and sends a categorised alert whenever a supported registry change is detected. Teams know what type of change occurred, and can act on it before their next scheduled review.
“The next era of compliance won’t be defined by how thoroughly a business is checked once, but by how well it is understood over time. That’s the standard regulators across Asia-Pacific already expect, and the one our clients need to grow with confidence,” said Leas Bachatene, AsiaVerify Chief Executive Officer.
“Perpetual KYB brings us closer to our vision of being the trusted intelligence partner for organisations operating across Asia, turning official registry data into a living view of who they do business with.”
The Cost of Standing Still
Most KYB programmes verify a company at onboarding, then re-check it on a quarterly or annual cycle. Between those reviews, compliance teams have no visibility of what has changed. If a director resigns, ownership shifts or a company’s legal status lapses on day 10, a periodic programme may not surface it until day 180.
For high-risk customers, merchants, suppliers and counterparties, that window is a compliance exposure, not an administrative inconvenience. What a team verified months ago is no longer what it is exposed to today.
Early findings from the AsiaVerify APAC Corporate Monitoring Index show how quickly that gap opens. Across a 60-day window covering 620 APAC-based companies monitored with Perpetual KYB:
- 1 in 7 companies recorded at least one change within the monitoring window
- in some jurisdictions, the earliest changes appeared within two days of monitoring starting
- 60% of change events related to shares, shareholders or key individuals
These were not routine filing updates. The majority were shifts in ownership and control, at a pace that annual and quarterly review cycles cannot match. The full AsiaVerify APAC Corporate Monitoring Index will be published later this year.
From “Something Changed” to “What Changed”
Perpetual KYB replaces calendar-based re-checks with change-driven monitoring. Teams set up monitoring once per company with a single API call, and Perpetual KYB runs for the life of their subscription. There is no cycle management, no manual scheduling, and no repeat queries. If nothing changes in the registry, no alert is sent.
When a change is detected, every alert carries a category-level signal, so teams know where to look first. Perpetual KYB tracks changes across nine categories:
- Identity
- Address
- Business Activity
- Officers
- Ownership
- Capital
- Status
- Annual Return
- Other
Customers set the severity for each category and decide whether it triggers an alert, applying their own risk model. An address change can be logged, while an ownership or status change goes straight to review. Any legal status change, such as dormancy, striking-off, deregistration, liquidation or reinstatement, is flagged under Status in every market where Status is covered. Category availability varies by registry.
“Compliance teams don’t lack checks. What they lack is visibility between them. A company verified six months ago can have new shareholders, new directors or a different legal status today, and a periodic review won’t show it until long after it matters,” said Ficoal Dong, AsiaVerify Chief Product & Technology Officer.
“We built Perpetual KYB to close that gap. It watches official registry data continuously and tells teams what type of change occurred, so analysts spend their time on the changes that matter to their risk model, not on re-checking companies that haven’t moved.”
Perpetual KYB turns periodic oversight into continuous visibility, enabling teams to:
- keep high-risk customers, merchants and suppliers visible between review cycles
- prioritise ownership and status changes ahead of lower-risk updates
- monitor growing APAC portfolios without adding analyst headcount
- maintain an auditable record of every alert and query across the monitoring period
