What's the difference between your KYC and KYB data?
add
What's the difference between your KYC and KYB data?
KYC data is about verifying individuals. It covers identity records, consumer profiles, employment, and the documents a person uses to prove who they are. KYB data is about verifying businesses, using sources such as ASIC extracts, UK Companies House records, and beneficial-ownership mapping to confirm an entity is legitimate and identify who controls it.
