Know Your Business
Know Your Business (KYB) is the confirmation of the legitimacy, ownership profile, and history of companies before establishing a business relationship. Sanction Scanner's KYB solution provides real-time company data access, including shareholders, directors, and Ultimate Beneficial Owners (UBOs), from global registers.
Financial institutions have to vet the companies they conduct business with in order not to indulge in money laundering, fraud, and bad reputation. Sanction Scanner helps institutions vet corporate entities and owners against global sanctions, watchlists, and PEP lists to ensure safe partnerships.
KYC (Know Your Customer) focuses on verifying individuals, while KYB focuses on verifying businesses and networks of ownership. Sanction Scanner combines KYB and KYC solutions, wherein companies can screen individuals and corporate entities in one platform.
KYB screening typically uses company name, registration number, and jurisdiction to retrieve verified company details and ownership structures. Sanction Scanner can instantly search UBOs, shareholders, and related parties through public and commercial databases without manual document upload.
The system follows company hierarchies and structures to identify individuals with significant control. Sanction Scanner automatically reveals UBOs and connected entities, then screens them against sanctions lists, watchlists, and PEP lists via its integrated Name Screening module.
KYB applies to all regulated industries, specifically banking, fintech, insurance, crypto, and payment providers. Sanction Scanner enables compliance with over 200 jurisdictions to enable businesses across many industries to remain compliant with AML regulations.
