KYB Verification
About KYB Verification
Quick answer. KYB verification means confirming a business is the legal entity it claims to be. Start with the state file number and status, then match the EIN only through IRS channels, then screen names on OFAC. A website and a logo are not proof.
What this site is for
Business verification in a bank file usually wants the legal name, jurisdiction, file number, status, and formation date from the secretary of state. The registered agent is a service address. Officers on an annual report are a snapshot, not a guarantee of who signs today.
TIN matching is an IRS process for payers who already have a name and TIN from the payee. A public search site cannot “verify an EIN” by guessing. If the customer will not provide the number, say the TIN check is incomplete.
Sanctions screening sits beside the entity file, not inside it. Run the legal name and known owners in OFAC’s tool and store the date. Ownership questions under the 50 percent rule need documents, not a second click on the state search.
What we will not pretend to be
KYB Verification is not a bank, FinCEN, or the IRS. A file we assemble is not a compliance certification.
