Your KYB shouldn’t break when data does

In a perfect world, every company you need to onboard would show up in a public registry. But every KYB team knows that’s not reality.

Sometimes you’re handed a company name and:

  • It’s not in the system
  • It’s a newly created entity
  • It’s a startup that hasn’t been fully registered
  • It’s a cross-border case with no accessible data

And yet, you still need to:

  • Screen the company
  • Assess its risk
  • Document and defend every decision

Before Strise, that often meant workarounds, spreadsheets, and waiting for registry updates.

How Strise keeps KYB moving

Now, the entire process stays in Strise, structured, reviewable, and audit-ready from day one.

You can create and work with companies that don’t exist in any official registry, treating them like any other entity in the platform.

This means you can:

  • Add ownership structures and roles
  • Assign and complete KYB/KYC reviews
  • Document risk decisions
  • Track every step with a full audit trail

Custom-created entities behave exactly like standard companies in Strise, with no blind spots, no detours, and no missing audit trail.

API-ready for real-world edge cases

And yes, this capability is fully available via API.

Not every compliance case starts with perfect data. By enabling teams to handle hard-to-verify edge cases directly in Strise, whether in-platform or through the API, you can:

  • Eliminate friction
  • Preserve traceability
  • Keep your KYB process running without delays

No registry or available data? No problem. You can still know your business.
