What KYC and KYB typically involve
KYC focuses on the individuals behind the business — directors, owners, ultimate beneficial owners. KYB focuses on the business itself — registration, structure, activity, and tax status.
KYC and KYB are how regulated payment partners confirm who you are and what your business does. PayKato collects this information in cooperation with licensed partners.
