Merchant Onboarding

Updated over 11 months ago

Let's delve into the streamlined process we have in place. Our approach is thoughtfully divided into two distinct parts to ensure efficiency and thoroughness. First, we adeptly handle the KYB (Know Your Business) procedures for the company, ensuring all business credentials are verified and organized. Following this, we concentrate on the KYC (Know Your Customer) aspect, meticulously gathering and managing information for UBOs, shareholders, and directors, ensuring compliance and clarity.

You'll find a video below for each process, along with a step-by-step guide for both.

KYB Verification:

Know Your Business (KYB) verification is an essential process for companies to confirm the identities of other businesses they interact with. It fosters trust and ensures compliance, enabling organizations to make well-informed decisions by validating the authenticity and reliability of their partners or suppliers.
