An essential practice of the onboarding process, KYBs allow you to verify the identity of a customer and obtain the necessary financial details in the process.

Frequently asked questions

Still looking for more information about KYB checks? Explore our FAQs below or contact us directly if you can’t find the answer you’re looking for.

While each process is similar, there are key differences that separate KYB, KYC and AML apart. KYB is carried out when you want to verify a business, while KYC targets the identification of a single individual. AML, meanwhile, defines the entire process, with KYC and KYB being mere components of this.
