Banking and capital · Source of Funds & Source of Wealth
We prepare Source of Funds and Source of Wealth dossiers for banks, investment programmes, international transactions and other compliance procedures.
BRIDGES GLOBAL analyses the origin of the capital, builds the evidence chain, reviews the documents, arranges the missing confirmations and compiles a structured dossier for the requirements of a specific bank or another reviewing organisation.
We work with business income, dividends, sales of companies and real estate, investments, inheritance, family capital and digital assets.
Lawfully sourced capital only.

The essence of the review
A compliance review requires answers to at least two different questions: where the specific amount used in the transaction came from, and how the client’s overall wealth was formed.
The origin of a specific amount
For example:
The task is to show the legal basis on which the funds were received and their movement up to the current account or transaction.
The history of how the overall wealth was formed
It shows how the client’s capital was built over time:
For complex capital a bank usually assesses not a single certificate, but the sequence of the entire economic history.
Funds Flow
When it is required
Preparing the history of the source of funds and wealth for the KYC/AML procedure of the chosen bank.
Documentary confirmation of the economic basis of the transaction and of the origin of the funds transferred.
Preparing the package for the bank, notary, lawyer, developer or another party involved in the transaction.
Confirmation of capital for residence, permanent residence, citizenship and other investment procedures.
Preparing the Source of Wealth profile and the supporting package for the onboarding of a wealthy client.
Confirming the origin of the assets transferred into the structure.
When the account is already open, but the bank has requested an updated Source of Funds / Source of Wealth.
Analysis of the previous package, of the reasons for the objections, and preparation of a new dossier — if the problem can be resolved with documents.
Sources of capital
What is analysed and confirmed
Digital assets
Blockchain history on its own does not always explain the economic origin of the capital.
When working with digital assets it is important to link the on-chain history to the real initial source of the funds and to the subsequent movement of the capital.
What we do
We identify the key sources, events, companies, accounts, assets and countries.
We separate the confirmed elements, the gaps and the potentially problematic areas.
We check contracts, banking documents, corporate records, tax records and other materials for consistency.
We compile the list of documents that need to be obtained or restored from lawful sources.
We coordinate requests to banks, companies, registers, notaries, accountants, auditors, valuers and other lawful sources of information.
We explain the history of the capital in professional language and link every material statement to a confirmation.
We show visually how the capital moved between the key events, accounts and assets.
We compile the index, narrative, chronology, diagrams and supporting documents.
We read the dossier through the recipient’s eyes and identify the likely follow-up questions in advance.
Within the agreed scope we answer the reviewing party’s additional requests and supplement the package.
The finished product
A brief client profile and the purpose of the review.
The final package is built for a specific recipient — a universal dossier that suits every bank does not exist.
Archive work
A complex capital history does not necessarily mean that confirmation is impossible.
Over a long period:
In such projects we determine not “which document has been lost”, but which legal and economic fact needs to be proven.
We then analyse the alternative lawful sources.
We do not create backdated documents and do not replace missing evidence with an invented story.
Red flags
A red flag does not always mean the project is impossible. It means the risk has to be identified before filing, and not after the bank’s request.
Limits of the work
We do not provide services aimed at giving a lawful appearance to assets of criminal origin.
We do not create contracts, payments or corporate actions that did not in fact take place.
We do not produce fictitious certificates, declarations, confirmations or banking documents.
We do not mislead banks and regulated organisations about the UBO.
We do not build structures designed for the unlawful circumvention of applicable restrictions.
We do not promise a decision that is taken by an independent compliance department.
Pricing
The price depends not on the size of the capital as such, but on the volume of legal and documentary work.

A BRIDGES GLOBAL specialist reviews the input data and comes back with the preliminary scope of work.
Project stages
We understand the task, the source of the capital, the countries and the addressee of the future dossier.
We analyse the available materials and identify the gaps.
We build the chronology, the ownership and the funds-flow logic.
We obtain the available additional documents.
We build the Source of Funds / Source of Wealth narrative and the supporting evidence.
We check the consistency and the potential questions.
We compile the final package for the specific addressee.
Within the agreed scope we support the subsequent questions.
The result is not a folder of documents, but a prepared evidentiary position of the client.
A project may involve bank statements, corporate documents, tax materials, transaction history and information about the structure of the wealth.
Access to the materials is limited to the specialists involved in the project. Information is passed to external lawyers, auditors, translators and other specialists only to the extent required for the specific work and in accordance with the applicable requirements.
BRIDGES GLOBAL
Capital may be formed in one country, held in a second and used for a transaction in a third. We connect these elements into a single evidentiary architecture.
The dossier is created for a specific client, specific capital and a specific recipient.
We take into account the economic history, the documents, the corporate structure and the potential compliance questions at the same time.
Within the agreed project scope we stay in the process for the follow-up requests.

FAQ
Source of Funds relates to the origin of the specific funds for a particular transaction. Source of Wealth describes the history of how the client’s overall wealth was formed.
It depends on the origin of the capital and on the bank’s internal requirements. These may be banking, corporate, contractual, tax, investment, inheritance and other documents.
For complex capital, not only a narrative is usually required, but also supporting documents that make it possible to verify the history set out.
It depends on the surviving documents and the available alternative sources. This is assessed after an analysis of the specific history.
Corporate registers, banking and tax archives, accounting documents, counterparties and other available sources are checked.
It depends on the legal basis on which the money was received and on the existing evidence. The cash form itself does not confirm the lawful origin of the funds.
In a number of cases, yes. The initial origin of the capital, the exchange and on-chain history, the banking entries and exits and other available confirmations are analysed.
No. The decision is taken by the bank after its own KYC/AML and risk assessment procedure.
The format depends on the bank and on the specific project. Within the agreed scope BRIDGES GLOBAL can help prepare the answers and the documents and support the communication.
Yes, if the reasons for the refusal are known or the package can be analysed again. However, a new filing does not guarantee a different decision.
It depends on the number of sources of capital, the countries and the availability of documents. The time needed to obtain archive confirmations from third parties is particularly significant.
At the initial stage — no. First it is necessary to understand the structure of the capital and the task. The full list of documents is compiled after the initial analysis.
Preliminary assessment
Describe the origin of the capital and the task for which the confirmation is required. We will define the likely scope of work, the necessary next steps and the preliminary budget of the project.
We work with lawfully sourced capital only. The decision of a bank, a regulator or another reviewing organisation cannot be guaranteed.
