KYB Providers

KYB Providers

Compare KYB providers for business verification, UBO checks, AML screening and company onboarding.

Definition

What this category means

KYB providers verify companies, beneficial owners and business risk before a platform accepts a commercial customer. KYB, or Know Your Business, verification confirms that a company is legitimate, identifies who actually owns and controls it, and screens that business and its owners against sanctions and watchlists. This is more complex than individual KYC because corporate structures can involve multiple layers of ownership across different jurisdictions, and providers vary significantly in how thoroughly they can trace ownership in complex or offshore structures.
