Corporate onboarding is incomplete without both comprehensive verification and corporate due diligence (CDD). With the rise in regulatory scrutiny and the looming threat of financial fraud, businesses feel the need to verify their partners before closing a deal with them. However, traditional verification methods usually bring challenges like high costs, lengthy verification processes, inflexibility, and rigid contracts. This is where they need a solution as efficient as the Pay As You Go model for swift verification.
Organizations need to access official data to onboard a business or simply verify its legal standing. Going to official government portals to obtain data manually is time-consuming. The dread doesn’t end here; in addition to doing extensive research on a specific business, they still have to verify the potential risk of money laundering regarding a particular business and its persons (UBOs). The KYB’s Pay-As-You-Go service allows you to verify companies on demand with just a single click of a button. In addition, you also get integrated AML checks and the convenience of paying only for the services you want. It not only saves you time but also eliminates the need for upfront payments or long-term contracts.
In this guide, learn how to use The KYB’s Pay-As-You-Go service to verify any business across the globe.
Once you have signed up with The KYB, you can search for any business to verify its legal status. Follow these steps to start your verification using The KYB’s Pay-As-You-Go service:
1. To verify a company, click the services tab and select the KYB check option.

2. Next, enter the business name and other required fields, such as country and registration number (optional).

Important Note: Every country’s registry plays by its own rules. In one country or state, you would need an accurate registration number to find a business. In another, just a broad match of the business name could do the trick. Miss the mark on your input, and you’re stuck with dead ends, wasted time, and unreliable results.
Before you click ‘search,’ know your target. Always check the ideal inputs for the country you’re verifying in.
3. After a successful company search, you get a comprehensive data set, including officers, financial performance, filing history, documents, and the participatory chain.

4. Two types of documents are available on The KYB portal. As for the free documents, you can download them in the PDF format. For the paid documents, you can request only those that you need for verification. Unlike traditional checks, there are no additional costs for lengthy procedures.

5. To retrieve the paid documents, add your card details. Our payment system is secured with stripe, ensuring safe processing and transmission of financial transactions.
