What Our KYB Verification Checks
KYB, or Know Your Business, is KYC for companies: you confirm that a business is real and in good standing, find out who controls and owns it, and check those people. NeuroVision covers every part of the check.
Company documents
Certificates of incorporation, business registration certificates, articles of association and registry extracts are read automatically, checked for tampering, and their data — name, registration number, address, date — is extracted.
Directors and authorized representatives
Every director or signatory completes identity verification with an ID and a live selfie, linked to the company case.
Ultimate beneficial owners
People who own or control the company above your threshold are identified and verified the same way.
Sanctions and PEP screening for the company and its people
The company name and all its directors and owners are screened against sanctions and PEP lists.
How Business Verification Works
-
1. The company submits its documents
You send the business customer one link. They upload company documents and add their directors and owners.
-
2. We read and check the documents
Company data is extracted and the documents are checked for signs of tampering.
-
3. Directors and owners verify their identity
Each person gets their own link, scans their ID and takes a live selfie — from anywhere, on their own phone.
-
4. Screening, review and decision
The company and its people are screened, your team reviews any flags, and the decision is recorded in one case with a full audit trail.
UBO Verification: Who Really Owns the Company
Identify beneficial owners
A beneficial owner is a person who ultimately owns or controls a company, directly or through other companies.
The business customer declares its owners and the documents that prove them.
Threshold for each market
You set the threshold for each market.
Verify them like any customer
Each beneficial owner completes ID and selfie verification and is screened against sanctions and PEP lists.
Ownership thresholds by country
Most countries define a beneficial owner as someone holding more than 25% — some use lower thresholds.
