KYB
Company verification from details to ultimate beneficial owners
verkyc collects company details, corporate documents, the ownership structure and the representative, calculates shares and ultimate beneficial owners by the threshold of your policy, and takes related persons through their own KYC check.
What is checked
Company details
Name, registration data, status and address from the sources enabled for the country and from the representative statement.
Corporate documents
Up to 20 documents per case with type, version, issuer and date. Declared data is kept apart from data confirmed by a source.
Ownership structure
Shares are calculated with exact arithmetic; circular ownership, nominees and an undisclosed remainder never turn into "no owner found".
Owners and related persons
The policy sets the beneficial owner threshold. Each related person completes their own check via their own link; a matching name never carries a check over.
Representative
The representative completes KYC, and their authority is checked separately: power of attorney term, right to delegate, revocation, joint signature.
Changes
A change of owners or status, an expired licence, power of attorney or document creates a monitoring event and a webhook.
Company registries
Government registries are connected country by country, each after a review of access and data use terms. The LEI is verified against GLEIF once the source is approved.
Until the registry of a country is connected, company details are marked as declared and confirmed by documents rather than by a registry. This is visible in the case card and in the report.
Frequently asked questions
How is the ultimate beneficial owner determined?
From the ownership and control structure with the threshold set by your policy. If the structure is incomplete or circular, the result is inconclusive with a reason.
Does each beneficial owner need a separate check?
Yes. Related persons get their own links and complete KYC in separate cases linked to the company case.
