Automating KYB to Save Time and Enhance Compliance
Know Your Business (KYB) verification is a cornerstone of regulatory compliance for financial institutions, aimed at mitigating risks like fraud and money laundering.
However, as regulations grow increasingly stringent, banks and fintechs face a mounting challenge: balancing robust compliance protocols with the need for efficient customer onboarding. Traditional KYB processes—heavily reliant on manual reviews by hundreds of compliance analysts—are slow, costly, and prone to bottlenecks.
