What is KYB?

KYB (Know Your Business) is the process of verifying the legitimacy and identity of a business entity, focusing on understanding its structure, operations, and compliance status. It’s essentially the business-equivalent of KYC (Know Your Customer), which is designed for individual identity verification. KYB is crucial for industries like fintech, SaaS, banking, and compliance-driven sectors, particularly when onboarding clients or engaging in transactions with other companies.

The process typically includes verifying a business’s registration details, tax identification, ownership structure, and Ultimate Beneficial Owners (UBOs). This ensures that businesses are not only legally registered but also transparent about their operations and leadership. KYB often involves screening for risks like connections to fraud, money laundering, or sanction lists to minimize legal or financial exposure.

Technologies like APIs, automated document checks, and integrations with global business registries are frequently used to streamline KYB processes. As regulations such as AML (Anti-Money Laundering) and GDPR continue to tighten, KYB is becoming a core part of compliance strategies, ensuring that companies maintain trust and adhere to international standards while reducing the risk of financial crimes.

In the contemporary digital landscape, Know Your Business (KYB) is no longer a luxury but a necessity. In a world where digital transactions and interactions prevail, Know Your Business acts as a safeguard for businesses. It's not just about ticking compliance boxes; it's about building a foundation of trust.
