KYB Verification
How KYB Verification checks a 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.
Verify the legal entity first
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.
