KYB Checks

Business relationships require more than a quick database lookup – especially when you need to understand who really owns and controls a companyVerifid KYB Checks provide a manual, analyst-led Enhanced KYB service designed to document corporate identity, ownership, and management up to the Ultimate Beneficial Owners (UBOs), using reliable sources from the company’s country.

This service supports risk-based compliance, third-party due diligence, and audit-ready onboarding for corporate clients, merchants, suppliers, and counterparties.

What Verifid KYB Checks include

1

Corporate identification
(Company identity verification)

Where available from in-country sources, we verify and document key company details such as:

  • Legal name (company name)
  • Legal form
  • Registration number
  • Registered address / seat
  • Business activity / industry
  • Date of incorporation

This creates a clear, defensible company identity profile for your compliance file.

2

Ownership & Control
(UBO analysis)

To establish the real beneficial ownership, we perform an Ownership & Control review, which may include:

  • Identification and documentation of Ultimate Beneficial Owners (UBOs)
  • Mapping of the ownership structure (including layers where applicable)
  • Review of Directors / Managers / Signatories and key controlling persons

This helps you understand who ultimately owns or controls the entity and supports Enhanced Due Diligence when required.

Deliverable: KYB report with evidence

Each KYB request delivers a consolidated KYB Report, typically including:

  • Ownership structure (UBO/ownership mapping)
  • List of checked persons (owners, directors, managers, signatories, where applicable)
  • Findings and compliance-relevant observations
  • Source documentation / supporting attachments (where available)

The report is designed to be audit-friendly and easy to review internally—useful for onboarding decisions, periodic KYB refresh, and remediation projects.

  • Search by company name and select country

  • Track progress
  • Receive the KYB report—usually within 48 working hours (working days)
