Key components of KYB

The KYB process involves several key components to thoroughly verify a business:

  1. Business Identity Verification: This includes confirming the business's legal name, registration number, and address. It ensures that the business is legally registered and operating within its jurisdiction.

  2. Ownership Structure: Understanding who owns and controls the business is crucial. This step involves identifying the ultimate beneficial owners (UBOs) to prevent money laundering and other illicit activities.

  3. Financial Health and History: Assessing the financial stability and history of the business helps us evaluate potential risks. This may include reviewing financial statements, credit reports, and transaction histories.

  4. Compliance Checks: Ensuring the business complies with relevant regulations and industry standards is essential. This may involve checking for any past legal issues, sanctions, or regulatory penalties.

  5. Ongoing Monitoring: Continuous monitoring of the business ensures that we have the most up-to-date information on the businesses we serve.
