Background Check V2

Background Check V2 is an improvement over Background Check by adding beneficial owners and the compliance of each entity.

To verify the compliance of each entity, you need to enable the background_check_nodes_check setting. To verify only the compliance of officers or beneficial owners, you need to enable the officers_check and beneficial_owners_check settings respectively from the provider ComplyCube.
