Frequently asked questions
What is Know Your Business (KYB) compliance?
Simply put, KYB is a regulatory requirement that involves verifying the legitimacy of a corporate entity and the people behind it before you onboard of enter a business relationship.
Why does KYB matter?
Regulators increasingly expect firms to verify both the business entity and the people behind it. This includes understanding ownership structures, identifying beneficial owners, and monitoring ongoing risk.
Traditional KYB processes are often manual, fragmented, and slow, making them costly to maintain and difficult to scale. As a result, businesses face increased compliance risk, inconsistent audit trails, and poor onboarding experiences for legitimate customers.
Is KYB different from KYC?
Yes, KYB focuses on businesses and their ownership structures, while KYC focuses on individual customers.
What are the benefits of using an automated KYB solution?
An automated KYB solution like ours will streamline onboarding, reduce manual effort and uncover hidden ownership or risk faster than traditional, manual checks. It ensures consistent, defensible decisions, provides real-time alerts for emerging risk, and keeps your compliance team audit-ready while allowing your business to scale efficiently.
Why does Ultimate Beneficial Owner (UBO) identification matter?
Bad actors can hide within complex corporate structures so regulators and auditors expect you to identify the natural person(s) who ultimately control and benefit from a business – not just the surface level ownership.
