The problem
Why KYB is hard to get right
Self-reported documents
Onboarding leans on PDFs the applicant uploads — easy to forge, slow to check, and stale the moment they're filed.
A different registry per market
Every new jurisdiction means another official source to integrate, in another format, with another set of edge cases.
Ownership is opaque
Shell layers and cross-border parents hide who ultimately controls the entity you're about to onboard.
Manual review is the bottleneck
Analysts check every file by hand, so good customers drop off waiting while risky ones still slip through.
Our solution
Verify identity, ownership, and tax IDs against the source.
Registry-sourced identity
Legal name, company number, registration status, and address — confirmed against the official register, not the applicant's documents.
Ownership structure
Corporate linkage ties 40M+ entities into cross-border ownership trees: parent, subsidiaries, and ultimate owner.
Tax ID validation
VAT and tax IDs reverse-validated against the tax authority, so the number resolves to the entity you're checking.
Real-time or bulk
One API for instant checks at onboarding, or batch delivery to re-screen an existing portfolio.
How it works
From an applicant to a decision you can evidence.
Send the company
A company number, a VAT or tax ID, or just a name and country — whatever the applicant gave you at onboarding.
We check the official register
Legal identity, registration status, ownership structure, and tax ID are each resolved against the source register in the company's own market.
Get a decision you can evidence
The verified entity, its status, and its owners come back with the source and a last-verified timestamp on every field, so the check holds up in an audit.
Time to value
From call to sample in days, not weeks.
Once you get in touch, we go from a first call to a sample of your own data in a few days. And when you come on board, you get 24/7 access to our team on Slack, so questions get answered fast.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Know Your Business (KYB) verification confirms that a business is real, active, and legally what it claims to be — checking its registration, address, tax ID, directors, and ownership against official sources before you onboard it.
Legal identity and company number, registration status, registered address, VAT/tax ID, directors, and ownership structure up to the ultimate owner — all verified against official registry and tax-authority sources.
200+ markets, from 1,100+ official company registers and tax authorities, through a single API — so you don't integrate a new source for every jurisdiction you expand into.
Yes. A REST API returns verification results instantly at onboarding, and bulk delivery lets you re-screen an existing portfolio in a single batch.
Corporate linkage ties 40M+ entities into cross-border ownership trees — parent, subsidiaries, and ultimate owner — so you can see who sits at the top of the group.
Yes. Every field traces to the official register it came from and carries a last-verified timestamp, giving you lineage a regulator or auditor can follow.
