Professional perimeter

What we are. What we are not.

GLOBALBRIDGE acts as a corporate intermediary and strategic coordinator. We are not authorised, licensed or supervised as a regulated financial intermediary in any jurisdiction. We do not provide banking, payment, electronic money, investment, insurance, crypto-asset or regulated advisory services. All regulated activity within a mandate is performed by licensed third parties under their own authorisation and professional responsibility.

Operating standards

Six standards applied to every mandate.

I

AML and counter-terrorist financing

Anti-money-laundering and counter-terrorist financing controls are embedded in the engagement protocol. Every mandate is screened against international and national AML frameworks and the supporting documentation is prepared to withstand regulated review.

II

Know-your-business and counterparty due diligence

KYB processes cover ultimate beneficial ownership identification, corporate structure validation, sectoral risk assessment and ongoing monitoring throughout the mandate.

III

Sanctions and politically exposed persons screening

Counterparties are screened against EU, UN, OFAC, UK and other applicable sanctions lists, and against PEP databases. Adverse media screening is part of the standard counterparty review.

IV

Source of funds and source of wealth verification

For sensitive matters, source of funds and source of wealth verification follows documented evidence standards. Unverifiable claims are not accepted.

V

Data protection and cross-border transfers

Personal data is processed under GDPR and equivalent frameworks. International transfers rely on EU Standard Contractual Clauses or equivalent safeguards. Retention periods are documented and enforced.

VI

Confidentiality and disclosure discipline

NDA and NCND frameworks govern every engagement. Disclosure is tiered and documented. Confidentiality survives the closure of the mandate and applies to our team in the same way it applies to the matter.

Client acceptance

How we decide whether to accept a mandate.

Acceptance is not automatic. Every approach is screened on commercial rationale, jurisdictional fit, conflict exposure, counterparty profile and compliance posture before becoming a conversation. The output is a written go / no-go decision with rationale.

We turn down more matters than we accept. Saying no early is part of the discipline of saying yes well.

Grounds for refusal or termination

When we will not engage, or will step away mid-mandate.

  • Unverifiable ultimate beneficial ownership or unclear control chain
  • Counterparties subject to sanctions, ongoing enforcement or material adverse media
  • Matters that require operating outside our declared professional perimeter
  • Requests for discretion intended to bypass regulated channels
  • Source of funds or source of wealth that cannot be documented to a defensible standard
  • Material changes during the mandate that alter the basis on which it was accepted
Next step

Compliance is not optional. Selection is the first compliance act.

Every approach is screened in confidence before any further exchange.
