Know Your Business (KYB) checks are the backbone of AML compliance. But for many compliance analysts, the reality is far from efficient.
Most KYB tools promise efficiency but fall short. They retrieve documents, sometimes neatly organized, but leave analysts with the heavy lifting:
- Cross-checking incorporation records and declarations
- Verifying company details manually
- Spotting discrepancies and data gaps
- Looping in other teams when data doesn’t match
This creates friction. Analysts juggle emails, multiple systems, and manual checks, costing hours of productivity and increasing compliance risk.
There’s a smarter way.
