KYC and KYB


Know Your Customer

Know Your Business

Anti-money laundering (AML) regulations require potential business partners to be checked for identity and authenticity, which prevents potential money laundering and terrorist financing activity. Know Your Business (KYB) is specifically centered around performing due diligence on a business you seek to onboard as your client.

To prove business ownership and control structure, it’s necessary to collect information on the business, its owners, and representatives, including but not limited to registration documents, company address, licensing documentation, and identity documents of natural persons.

KYB compliance is required for AML-regulated companies. This means that companies need to make sure that their business partners are verified and unaffiliated with money laundering and terrorist financing.

Know Your Business (KYB) and Know Your Client (KYC) are verification procedures made to ensure the authenticity of provided data. KYB focuses on company or supplier information, whereas KYC checks personal identity and documents.

In order to perform KYB verification, it’s necessary to collect identity documents from shareholders, UBOs, and representatives, along with acquirer statements, proof of address, and corporate documents intended to confirm the company's legal existence, details, ownership, and control structure.
